Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Burning Question
Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Where's Mr. Poe?
5
He's everywhere - where ever you look. Where ever there's a bar that middle-aged gentlemen patronize - he'll be there. Where ever there's a 40 year-old investment banker with an "itch to scratch" - he'll be there. And when there are lonely out-of-town businessmen eating a decent, but not too expensive meal in a tastefully decorated restaurant that's within a few minutes cab ride from a mid-range downtown hotel - why, he'll be there, see?

Who cares? The last thing I read by him was on a different blog promoting violence or something stupid while everyone else was having an interesting conversation. He is/was a troll who keeps people like me away (not that I'm a prize or anything, just sayin).
12
He spends most of his time making lewd comments on my facebook page, which has about the same traffic as slog. Just traded one vice for another.
20
Christopher, his control of the dark side of the Force has increased, he no longer has to go through SLOG, he can now inject paranoia directly into your peanut sized brain.

@13: I second you on Bellevue Ave getting flushed, but Mr. Poe was one of the funniest people here. He should come back.
(to mirror) Mr. Poe... Mr. Poe!... Mr. Poe?
Fuck.

He was attacked by pitbulls and one of them gnawed off his face. I saw it happen, but was too busy taking a picture of it with my new iPhone to help.

dear mister "sticking witty wry comments in the 'Posted by' space":
Grow a pair a use your REAL NAME (like all the other heroes posting here).
SLOG isn't big enough for two wiseasses.

@25, virtually no one on SLOG (outside of the Sloggers themselves, I'm assuming) uses their real name. no one would post here if they had to

Poe's trying to live up to his resolutions-- though the current bet is that he'll be back by March.
That is, if he doesn't take up with Sam Adams first.

If Mayor Adams began keeping company with the likes of Mr. Poe I would take that as a sign on his part of growth, maturity, and keen resolution to live the life of a respectable man. Mr. Poe would be good for him, I say, and my lukewarm opposition to the Mayor resigning would transform to hearty lukewarm support for his remaining in office. I would even go so far as to theorize that Mr. Adams' catting around with his Beaus and so on is nothing less than a symptom of what's missing in his life, a misunderstood cry for the love of a decent young man.
31
Has anyone considered that he died of complications of AIDS due to being butt-fuked by one of you "safe" homos?
You might want to consider that next time you engage in a little bareback action.

@29, I'd have to bet that Poe will crack by Valentine's Day. That many self-effacing only half-joking comments by lonely singles anticipating the Stranger V-Day party? He'll be like a moth to a flame!
36
Poe finally caught the big one - and has the sense to ride it for a couple of years, getting while the getting is good
I am feeling envy on this cold night

All this talk of "real names"... whatever happened to registration? It was like, a month away. For a year. Or more.
39
scary tyler moore sucked Mr. Poe off in the alley behind Neighbors, and ended up swallowing him whole--gay penis, Bessie Smith record collection, rainbow flag and everything.
Now it's up to scary to pick up the fag-hag slack. scary, are you up to it?

There are some qualities- some incorporate things,
That have a double life, which thus is made
A type of that twin entity which springs
From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.
There is a two-fold Silence- sea and shore-
Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,
Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces,
Some human memories and tearful lore,
Render him terrorless: his name's "No More."
He is the corporate Silence: dread him not!
No power hath he of evil in himself;
But should some urgent fate (untimely lot!)
Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf,
That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod
No foot of man,) commend thyself to God!
--Edgar Alan Poe
