Finless - RIP (1 Viewer)

[Premier]

I hope he owed a lot of people money.

He owed me money. Ee too I believe. Is this real? For real?

how much

 

[bagger]

This always made me laugh....

The demographics of this place don't match up with me. I'm not some guy who married my high school sweetheart. I don't have a boring job with benefits that puts food on the table for my family. I didn't buy a house is some #### hole suburb where my neighbors house is 3 feet from mine. I'm 35 and I look like I'm 25. I'm still in shape, I have a full head of hair unlike most of you. I'm not fat. I don't eat buffalo wings twice a week. I don't own a pair of Zubas. I can and do score chicks that most of you would not have any chance of sleeping with....ever. This isn't shtick. It's my life. It's funny but at the height of my drug use I had beautiful women giving my their numbers. I was asked out constantly. And then most of you get to go home to your wives who havent slept with you in months. She's overweight and unhappy. She complains constantly and you secretly despise her. But you stay and let her boss you around. You're miserable but you're doing it for the children.

But I'm alive so I have that going for me, which is nice.

lmfao

 

[Fennis]

That's very sad news. :(

Do you guys know he OD'd or drugs played some role or are we making assumptions?

 

[CurlyNight]

So was it an OD or what?

This.

Who has access to his Facebook wall? Is it public?

No info is public yet and I'm guessing it won't be if it is related to an OD.

Here's our boy: https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1463759_10152800323944857_7868435310896192819_n.jpg?oh=663cccd4b037c5ef2c394e9fc86b5f07&oe=54E8FDE3

How sad. Very young and good looking to boot. May he rip. :(

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

i don't think he led a very happy life.

this doesn't really seem like a stretch. I don't think happy people become heroin addicts.

I am not sure I would conclude that. He seemed to be close to a lot of people and had a lot of fun. I would guess he used it as a crutch and it just overtook him.

You can be close to people and have fun and still have depression issues. I'm not saying it as an absolute, but more often than not addicts have something they are trying to numb themselves from feeling or remembering.

 

[Joe Summer]

Being a refugee from "that other bored" Fin's posting style always reminded me of Giantsfan.

I thought the same thing. Similar posting style, but a more authentic personality.

 

[PIK95]

I hope he owed a lot of people money.

He owed me money. Ee too I believe. Is this real? For real?

how much

I don't even know. Probably two league fees. One for sure. I wasn't actually expecting a pay back but he could have at least trades me Miggy Cabrera. Ray Lewis Limo driver from FFT also stiffed me a football league fee back in the day. I wasn't even commish, I just did him a favor. Not that I'm keeping track....

 

[CurlyNight]

I thought the same thing. Similar posting style, but a more authentic personality.

Giantsfan has a legitimate mental illness. I think he said bipolar. If Fin had a mental illness, then mix it with alcohol/drugs to become a dual diagnosis makes it much much harder to turn yourself around and then to keep it at bay. That is the worst mix to have.

 

[PIK95]

I have been on these boards for years, but because of my A.D.D. and learning issues I have a huge problem figuring out who anyone is. Alias are impossible for me. Sometimes I am convinced this whole place is like five guys with a bunch of alias. There are like ten of you I THINK I know a bit. Finn was the one poster I could usually sniff out so I was always aware of him. I used to remember the FFT guys but other then T.J. my memories are gone. If this is real, I am kinda sad that the main guy I always could find is now gone. Is Bender a Finn alias? I always liked them both.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

The sad reality is that most heroin addicts end up dead. It's an awful awful drug. There have actually been a number of people on this very board that have disagreed with that and think heroin isn't that bad. I hope that Finless's death is a wake up call.

Heroin is damn near the ONLY drug known to man that I have never touched. I've done almost everything at least once, most of them dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times. The fact that I always refused to go anywhere near smack is probably the only reason why I'm still alive to post this right now.

If there's anyone out there messing with it, do WHATEVER you have to do to stop. Don't wait another minute. For every Jason Mewes or Anthony Bourdain, there are hundreds if not thousands of Finlesses.

You remind me of my uncle. Always bragging up your drug use and badassery, but then out of the other side of your mouth telling others not to do it. He's now got one adult son in prison and another who lives at home to stay clean. It's hypocritical and I hope you understand that if you have kids. They look up to you. If you talk about how much of an insane partier you were, they are going to imitate that behavior in an attempt to seek your approval. Not trying to be a #### because I actually like your stories. Do you have kids?

I do not have kids and would never in a billion years share any of the stories I post on here with my nieces either. Those tales are for the entertainment of adult friends and FBG readers only.

I also don't think it's remotely hypocritical. I would never deign to tell anyone what to do or not do with their own lives, but I do have a ton of experience in the arena of partying/intoxication, both personal and anecdotal, and the one true certainty I've been able to extract from all that is that heroin is something that is damned near impossible to manage. It's why I've always avoided it, and if passing that message along to others makes me a hypocrite in your eyes because I've tripped a bunch of times or because I have a lot of stories of drunken buffoonery, then so be it. I'm going to say it anyway.

I gotta think EG isn't bragging to his kids (if he has any) about how much blow he can do without dying... I think an anonymous board is a good outlet to share these things without repercussions.

I don't have kids, but if I did, you can be 100% certain they'd never know the details of any of those stories. I realize Sabertooth doesn't know me from Adam, but common sense would dictate that posting this kind of stuff on a message board for laughs and sharing these same tales with an impressionable child (I mean ANYONE'S child, let alone my own) are not remotely the same thing.

Cool. I know it isn't remotely the same thing. I just saw this turn out so poorly for my uncle and cousins that I figured I'd ask. Some people just can't help themselves. They have to brag of bygone adventures.

Gotcha. I make no secret of things I've done in the past because I'm not ashamed of them, but I'm also not necessarily proud of them. They're just things that happened, I talk about them the same way I'd talk about the time I rode my bike to the convenience store when I was 12 to grab a gallon of milk at my mother's request. The only difference is, no one here wants to hear about what the temperature was or what time of I day I made that inconsequential ride. They do want to hear about me having explosive diarrhea in my pants and hooking up with 2 girls in the same night or having to avoid Ace Frehley's flaccid penis, and that's why I post those stories here.

 

[Joe T]

How many celebrities and politicians have been busted making stuff up or "borrowing" someone else's experience in their autobiographies? Just off the top of my head, Obama, Hillary, Corey Booker, Lena Dunham and many more have made stuff up and passed it off as being their life.

I think J. Peterman was the first to do this.

 

[roadkill1292]

I have been on these boards for years, but because of my A.D.D. and learning issues I have a huge problem figuring out who anyone is. Alias are impossible for me. Sometimes I am convinced this whole place is like five guys with a bunch of alias. There are like ten of you I THINK I know a bit. Finn was the one poster I could usually sniff out so I was always aware of him. I used to remember the FFT guys but other then T.J. my memories are gone. If this is real, I am kinda sad that the main guy I always could find is now gone. Is Bender a Finn alias? I always liked them both.

I bet he was Zartan, too.

I actually have been in the room with Finless and Zartan together. They are not the same guy.

At the risk of doubling down on sexual references going on, it most definitely was a negative pregnant he left out there.

This.

No info is public yet and I'm guessing it won't be if it is related to an OD.

Here's our boy: https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1463759_10152800323944857_7868435310896192819_n.jpg?oh=663cccd4b037c5ef2c394e9fc86b5f07&oe=54E8FDE3

 

[Eephus]

I hope he owed a lot of people money.

He owed me money. Ee too I believe. Is this real? For real?

how much

I don't even know. Probably two league fees. One for sure. I wasn't actually expecting a pay back but he could have at least trades me Miggy Cabrera. Ray Lewis Limo driver from FFT also stiffed me a football league fee back in the day. I wasn't even commish, I just did him a favor. Not that I'm keeping track....

Fin deadbeated on a dynasty baseball league for a couple of years running. I knew he was going through some financial troubles so we didn't boot him until this spring. He would disappear from the leeg, this board and Facebook for months on end. The leeg startup this year coincided with one of his walkabouts so I regretfully made the call to give his spot to somebody else. I hated to do it because his Clifton alias was instrumental in getting it started in the first place. But the league was in jeopardy of folding if we had to carry him another year.

I was always glad to hear from him when he surfaced periodically because it meant he was playing life to a tie at least. His Facebook postings had less schtick but the same sense of humor.

I would have avoided it even more aggressively. However, in his state, that was simply not going to happen.

What?

 

[AAABatteries]

Bills piling up, fantasy fees coming in - the financial stress was too much to take.

I don't mean this to sound flippant because it really sucks that Fin is gone but I can remember reading this line when he originally posted it and was - that was the genius of Fin, he was being transparent talking about his demons but in the same line schticking it up. Still cracks me up to this day.

Pill thought he had a break in and everyone agreed. I said he had a Stoner Claus and was right. He was going to call the police or something and I said, nah....you just got a Stoner Claus. Were is Pill anyway? I want to buy his Arcade Fire guitar.

 

[PIK95]

I have three FFA claims to fame. Giving away Arcade Fire tickets to random people on here, winning the inaugural FBG March Madness pickem (never got the shirt), and outing Stoner Claus as not a robber. Please don't tell me you all forget about that. :-( I also won back to back Serious Business titles I believe. I forgot that one.

Anyone want to coordinate an FBG donation? I'd send a few bucks myself but don't feel like explaining a credit card charge to Give Forward to help pay for an internet guy's funeral...if someone is giving pm me and I'll paypal you something to add to it.

 

[John Bender]

I have been struggling with how to word this with tact as we lost a human being here, one that I liked very much.

But is there any indication on his fbook or from any of his friends about what will happen to his dog?

If I recall correctly he took that dog from a friend who overdosed and Fin loved that dog very much.

I would like to help, time wise or monetarily with assuring his dog gets rehomed to a loving owner and not brought to a shelter and euthanized.

My heart goes out to his friends and family first and foremost but if any of his Facebook friends want to reach out to someone on his page and get them in touch with me to help, please PM me. I lost touch with Fin years ago and no longer have Facebook. Fin loved that dog, I would like to help to make sure the dog is ultimately taken care of.

And sorry, in advance, if my concern over the dog comes off as tactless given what his loved ones must be dealing with... It's not my intention.

Eta... I have connections with a no kill wonderful shelter near Boston and would be willing to help get the dog there.

 

[PIK95]

I will send something later tonight I guess.

An update on the donation page says:

Coco is doing very well and will be taken care of in the Rockies where she can roam with Chris in spirit up high and without a leash!

Good to know. Sometimes people forget the beloved pets that are left behind. This dog is suffering too at the loss of his owner, especially since it sounds like he was much loved.

I was the first to call Stoner Claus and something about this doesn't feel right to me either.

What?

Wait, is stoner claus not real?!? NOOOOo

Pill was not /is not a liar. I don't know what pik is talking about here.

Pill thought he had a break in and everyone agreed. I said he had a Stoner Claus and was right. He was going to call the police or something and I said, nah....you just got a Stoner Claus. Were is Pill anyway? I want to buy his Arcade Fire guitar.

hahah, oops. I don't remember the specifics, I thought you were insinuating pill made the whole thing up.

Pill comes around now and again but is mostly iFree these days. I exchanged emails with him 6 months ago or so.

This always made me laugh....

The demographics of this place don't match up with me. I'm not some guy who married my high school sweetheart. I don't have a boring job with benefits that puts food on the table for my family. I didn't buy a house is some #### hole suburb where my neighbors house is 3 feet from mine. I'm 35 and I look like I'm 25. I'm still in shape, I have a full head of hair unlike most of you. I'm not fat. I don't eat buffalo wings twice a week. I don't own a pair of Zubas. I can and do score chicks that most of you would not have any chance of sleeping with....ever. This isn't shtick. It's my life. It's funny but at the height of my drug use I had beautiful women giving my their numbers. I was asked out constantly. And then most of you get to go home to your wives who havent slept with you in months. She's overweight and unhappy. She complains constantly and you secretly despise her. But you stay and let her boss you around. You're miserable but you're doing it for the children.

Maybe he wasn't such a great guy.

He probably was a good guy, but he lashed out on occasion because he had issues and insecurities. Even though he calls the married guys miserable in his rant above, he was probably the miserable one deep down. He was trying to convince others and, more importantly, himself that his life was actually great. Deep down he probably didn't want all the women he claimed he got in that rant, he wanted just one woman that would love him unconditionally. He probably felt that void in his life, and coupled with his other issues he concluded his life wasn't worth continuing. Very sad.

RIP, Guy I don't know. I'll pray for you.

He died because he never found the right chick?

From just reading the above rant and doing a little psychoanalysis, not having the right chick probably was a contributing factor to him being depressed and trying to medicate himself with drugs. He might have felt that he had nobody, other than his family members, who truly loved him.

Maybe. It's a possible theory, no doubt.

I don't know any major depressed person who feels like he/she is truly loved and supported. As was shown pretty well imo with Robin Williams, your life can look good on the outside and people and family do love you, but you can still feel so alone inside. It makes it real tough to know who really is in trouble if they put on a good front.

My bro received a call from a good friend last year who was a troubled alcoholic man the night before he killed himself. He came across as doing great in life. He convinced my bro and their other friend, who is a psychiatrist to boot, that life was looking up for him and excited about it. A couple weeks later when neighbors suspected something was wrong when there was no sign of him, they found his body in his home. He od'd.

Breaks my heart that people get to that point when help is available if only you reach out.
