• Drakonskyr’s death

  Let me join in eulogizing the end of times for xanga. This might be the beginning of the decline and fall of the American liqueur industry.

  And if you have not read him (blasphemy) here is a link to the past
  
  

  Friends, Xangans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
  I come to bury Drakonskyr, not to praise him.
  The evil that men do lives after them,
  The good is oft interred with their bones;
  So let it be with Drakonskyr.

  The mendacity of Drakonskyr’s entries, I saw that the first time I ever read his site and I read most of it that day. He could be so real, so honest while doing it. Ok that sounds like contradictory crap, but he pulled it off two or three times a week. It’s not a lie if you don’t expect people to beleive it. It was not Drakonskyr’s responsibility if the fools believed every word he wrote literally. Behind Drakonskyr’s BS was truth and certainly it was done with a passion. He wrote things that were so true and so cruel. And he did it all while he was so drunk. Yet he was loved by people who would have hated anyone else saying the same things.
  
  Drakonskyr was actually able to make me pull out a dictionary for reasons other than spelling (not that I do that very often). He loved to make us all feel stupid. I loved him and I loved to hate him. His leaving Xanga is just another nail in the coffin. The Church of Fat going inactive was to Xanga like Rome’s expansion into what is now Scotland. It was the high point and the beginning of the end for Rome. Drakonskyr shutting down his site, I think that just might be the the xanga equivalent of the Roman general Aetius being murdered after he defeated Attila the Hun.

  The last noble Xangan is dead, the empire will now die. Alaric is at the gate
