AVE GAIUS OCTAVIUS

I've only just returned to the site today and learnt of the sad news about my friend and yours, the incorrigible Gaius Octavius Bathroom Attendant.

This man was my first friend here - we gave each other shit and he invited me to be on his friends list. From there, he basically gave me the lowdown on Nephele and other people who became my friends, but GO was the first and he maintained that friendship even when I didn't.

His jokes and pictures clogged my inbox. Not to mention his insults. After learning that I am Maori and seeing some of my native language on my ID page, he dubbed me "The Savage". I loved it. There was nothing politically correct about our Gaius Octavius. In fact, I think the man went out of his way to be politically incorrect.

I read the news and tears came to my eyes. I had to pretend to my workmates that I'd got sand in my eyes. They got it out of me in the end though, and we all stopped work and had a beer in memory of a man none of us had even met. I told GO stories and GO jokes, and we toasted his life.

Do the same here and post your GO stories as a tribute to a fine man. If someone else has already done this, I don't care. There are heaps of GO stories to go 'round!

I'm gonna miss you, you old bastard.

More than once I've had my morning coffee come out of my nose while reading his jokes and other verbal abuse. It saddens me I won't get to know more, but at least some of it has been preserved here.

I remember when I said I didn't have much interest in Judaism, and GO accused me of anti-Semitism. And then when I protested he referred to his "aww, shucks, don't take this old codger too seriously" routine.

 

Oh, you wanted praise of the recently deceased? Umm ..... never mind.

I don't care. I'm tired of the love fest for GO. It's about time all you groupies saw him as the troll he was. Cornelius is free to delete this as it is his journal, but that is how I feel.

 

And now that I finally got that out of my system. I'll say no more.

Bro, it's not about a love fest.GO helped me feel more comfortable here with his levity; there is alot of hidebound shit on this site. He was a troll, no question. But he was an accomodating troll. All good tht you expressed the way you feel. Delete shit? No frikkin way!
