Dr. Morbius (Bill Weber) RIP

Ok im on a plane and uhhh

it’s not a competition HUNT3R

lol

only way morbs would ever root for the phillies or braves is against the yankees (he did so with the phils in 2009).

he had so many overlapping hatreds <3

*searches hillary in a braves hat*

xp to mooks, an arch but not entirely inaccurate epitaph

would have turned 60 yesterday iirc : /

Missed that, but of course was thinking of him anyway and came across a few old emails from him the other day.

I think of him every time I have pancakes. I bring my own REAL maple syrup to the diner and pour 3x my former amount, no fucks given.

happy birthday morbs

I miss him with every headline posted to the politics thread.

miss ya morbs

Happy Birthday, Bill. You're the best and I think of you all the time.

Harpy 60 morbz! Miss you.

happy birthday morbs, i miss you!

Miss you so much, buddy.

Oh, is this the day? Thanks for reminding. Will try to observe appropriately.

I am definitely ready to douse some pancakes in excessive amounts of maple syrup.

<3

Rest in Peace

Turns out I am having a pancake breakfast with my kid on Sunday so that seems appropriate.

I was on the road early this morning, and when I finally could stop for breakfast, I had syrup and pancakes without realizing what day it was.The Spirit was with me, I guess.

didn't have pancakes today but am about to watch a film that he gave 5 stars to on letterboxd (that list is here: https://letterboxd.com/wjweber/films/diary/rated/5/)

another fine way to celebrate him

mentioned Morbs in conversation several times this week. miss him

i will make pancakes this weekend for sure <3

<3

We love you Bill. <3 I will make pancakes and watch a Jerry Lewis film in your honor.

really want pancakes now <3

Miss u Morbz

Reminds me that one of these days I need to get around to watching that Paul Lynde Halloween special.

As with so many things Morbs and I disagree (pancakes lol? Gross.), hence why I miss him terribly.

No comment. Except that I am in a greenhouse full of cacti right now so…

had pancakes, with fruit not syrup

(while cooking, thought about it sucking that Morbz would send unsolicited abuse to posters off-borad)

(I’m shocked)

May the pancakes rip your guts out honeybunch

lmao

Now I would like to discuss with him on the astral plane the Little Rascals episode in which Wheezer, feeling neglected and ignored due to the arrival of a new sibling, decides to take matters into his own hands, with the assistance or at least the moral support of Petey the dog, and make some pancakes of his own with predictably comic results, which I know see is entitled “Bouncing Babies.”

Also the hotel I am staying in right now has a triptych display in the lobby of the The Many Friends I mean Faces of Dorothy Gale in honor of the the not-quite-fortnight between Morbius’s Jahrzeit and the so-called Gay Christmas at the end of month, at which time they will host The Wicked Witch of the West’s Halloween Bash.

"Tis still the season for a few more days. Somebody in the next room is watching Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason in The Toy and I am dying for some appropriate Morbswit.

I had to email wmfu to get off their mailing list after donating but they were v nice and helpful about it lol

thought of bill after recently patronizing a restaurant that had posters for a new leaf, the in-laws, start the revolution without me! and some others on the walls (all from the chef’s private collection!). still missin’ him dearly.

Serpentine, Joe!

*reads dr* the in-laws? like alan arkin? *sees je&b* yup.

ah. miss ya morbz, no matter how much you annoyed me in real time and knew ya only here.

in honor of bill i wrote in lupe fiasco today instead of voting for chuck schumer. think about you all the time, pal

Now more than ever the politics threads ache for a Morbs injection

us-pol ilx simply did not survive him afaic

You don't need to bother with Departed, really. It's pretty much a comically overblown genre exercise that bores more than it amuses.
