Loaning a chick money 9/9/16 - Bye (2 Viewers)

If this episode has a closing theme I'm sure we would hear Mick Jagger singing:

"...But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye"

 
Plot twist - Ron is NRJ who is now having to retire his alias handle so he can lead a normal life with his new lady friend.

 
Should you go on, you will surely be disappointed, perhaps even heartbroken. I have one key left on my belt, but all it opens is that final door, the one marked . What’s behind it won’t improve your love-life, grow hair on your bald spot, or add five years to your natural span (not even five minutes). There is no such thing as a happy ending. I never met a single one to equal “Once upon a time.”

Endings are heartless.

Ending is just another word for goodbye.

 
Sometimes you just gotta know when to walk away. I'm glad Ron is ending the saga before it completely jumps the shark.

 
Angie became a de facto part of the family, what with taking over Nanny duties, running business matters, organizing, etc. That is a tough one. 

I guess I viewed this as the AZ Ron thread, but thinking about it, this really is the Angie thread (loaning a girl 3 racks). I hope there will be an AZ Ron thread that keeps up on current affairs (pun intended), or that the updates continue in here.  :thumbup:

 
sorry things did not work out better.  But I think from a legal stand point, you were digging yourself into a hole mixing your sex life with employment.   Things could have ended much worse.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The thread begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, September 9, a Friday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.

Somehow, the summer seemed to slip by faster this time. Maybe it wasn't this summer, but all the summers that, in this my forty fifth summer, slipped by so fast. There comes a time when every summer will have something of autumn about it. Whatever the reason, it seemed to me that I was investing more and more in Ron's story, making his writing do more of the work that keeps time fat and slow and lazy. I was counting on the story's deep patterns, three assistants, three affairs, three times three drinks and blow, and its deepest impulse, to loan out and get back, to invite them in and out of your home, to set the order of the day and to organize the daylight. I wrote a few things this last summer, this summer that did not last, nothing grand but some things, and yet that work was just camouflage. The real activity was done with the thread--not the all-seeing, all-falsifying youtube stream--and was the playing of the game in the only place it will last, the enclosed green field of the thread. There, in that warm, bright place, what the old poet called Mutability does not so quickly come.

That is why it breaks my heart.  It breaks my heart because it was meant to, because it was meant to foster in me again the illusion that there was something abiding, some pattern and some impulse that could come together to make a reality that would resist the corrosion; and because, after it had fostered again that most hungered-for illusion, the thread was meant to stop, and betray precisely what it promised.

Of course, there are those who learn after the first few times. They grow out of message boards. And there are others who were born with the wisdom to know that nothing lasts. These are the truly tough among us, the ones who can live without illusion, or without even the hope of illusion. I am not that grown-up or up-to-date. I am a simpler creature, tied to more primitive patterns and cycles. I need to think something lasts forever, and it might as well be that state of being that is a thread; it might as well be that, in a green field, in the sun.

 
I'm full of mixed emotions.  I'm confused.  I don't know where to turn.  Is this over?  Should I head into the corner and rub one out in honor of Michael or just give myself a hug and head over to NRJ's thread and call it a day? 

 
Homeless chick leaving a $70k a year job that provides housing too, good for her!

Pretty upset that Angie is gone though, she's the main character excluding Ron. 

Maybe you can get Ice on the payroll? What about Girl 2, we haven't heard from her in years.

 
Too unsatisfying. I could poop a better ending.

I don't know the secret handshake for requesting the keys to an alias, but I'm making my intentions known- we need a new director in here. Otherwise, we need a Lance the bartender spin-off thread.

 
One of the absolute worst alias hand-offs.

The author should be embarrassed and ashamed to have written that crapola.

No explanation to a homeless chick leaving a $70k job?  :sleep:

Zero out of five stars ending to a very entertaining three-year thread.  :yucky:

 
Almost four! Give the guy some credit, this lasted longer than most TV shows. Yeah, the ending wasn't the best, but overall it was still well done. Current TV show comp is Deadwood, but I'm open to other suggestions.

 
So as a first time reader of this thread two things:. The links stop working in post 1 on everything from Fox to Lance, and also I sure as #### hope everything works out for our hero.  

 
Pretty sure the next episode is going to be Ron back on the shrink's coach...with the shrink. And we'll find out the shrink's name is Michael. :unsure:

I'll be taking a knee tomorrow during the national anthem for the first NFL game I watch in protest of that travesty of a last post by AZ Ron
