he was one creative guy, a real moving target. can't imagine how the reaper
ever caught up to him, it was a pleasure to be perpetually juked by a pro.

edit: full disclosure, we "attended" the same grade school,
though neither of us can produce a diploma

ah gee thanks!

i heart is soaring like an eagle, with one leg, the middle leg,

hey, it's like i wrote my own epitapt, can somebody help me with ephtithat?

my trig teacher told me that i would probably be late to my own funeral,

so this is a chance to prove him wrong,


ok, i am going to try and delete this thread after i really die,

so we can use it as a test of the after life, got it?

Dr Sprock was one funny guy, he was always cracking my husband up... me not so much.
I remember being shocked to find out he was eighty five and caucasian.

I hope he was having fun before his demise ..

so this is great, all i have to do is die.

the memorial and all that has already been taken care of.

saves room for real climbing accident tributes,


hey, who is the genius who invented a spell checker that tells you that you f*#ked up, but it does not tell you how?

is that not like hitting your dog for no reason?

i ask you softwrae engineers out there, if this is some kind of a cruel joke, well, it worked.

now can you please install the other half of the program?

That Dr Sprock is nothing but a gang banger. Who does he think he is fooling? Going around saying "live long and prosper" while flashing gang signs. He is nothing but a terrorist trying to take over the universe. Those pointy looking ears don't fool anyone. I got your number dude and I'm glad you died. I have had enough of gangs.

What was that you say? Not Spock, but Dr Sprock.

Who the hell is Dr Sprock and why is he pretending to be a gang banger??@#?$23????? Dad burn pretend Drs, trying to fool us good gun toting citizens. We should just up and shoot all the dad burn gang banging phony Drs.

Well, I just stepped off the trail to pee and ended up seeing the whole mess unfold.

Didn't have no intention to, but then that's the no-intention way when stuff kinda happens anyway, right in front of you.

The Mountain Biker rattled me, coming 'round the corner slick as lycra and left me there kinda pattin my crotch with a silly grin. Then you know you can't pee anyway after gettin riled like that so I was standin there off to the side ankle deep in poison oak when the doctor hisself lurches into view and commences to stumble.

You know those roots there, just as you crest that little hill and start down toward Indian Rock across for Castle? Well he musta had a shoelace loose or maybe a delam on his approach shoe but sumpin caught and he lurched.

Well that clay pipe he always clutched flew out of his hand. And you know the Doctor and how he'd always -- always! -- be fondlin that pipe of his. It weren't nothin special, that's fer sure, cept it kinda nuzzled in under where his thumb left that habitual smudge of chalk and biner scum, and had the faded blue patch on the other side right under the big chip in its bowl. Some said it somehow got to him from James Brown hisself. But you know bout dope tales, and I ain't havin none of it.

Anyway the Doctor, who usually feels more shambly even when addressing one of the local grease-palming boulders, got hisself instantly adroit and, even tho he was by now pitchin kinda sideways, reached out and snapped the beloved pipe right out of the air pretty as a tight end earnin his two million. 'Course his pipe lost half its load, but some things just can't be helped.

Anyway, so focused was he on this retrieval that the next instant he was blindsided by a sandstone outcrop. Now the uncanny part, fate itself, intervened. It coulda been just a bump on the rock, but in certain lights, like seen over a glowing bowl, it became a bulge like a dick, erect there off the side of the outcrop. Rumors, fanned up by Groundskeeper Miles hisself, had it to be an ancient fertility symbol propitious to the Ohlone people. Whatever. But it did protrude from the sandstone matrix, and it did surely smack the Doctor right into the soft spot of his temple.

He crumpled completely right there, and the next instant his clay pipe became shrapnel. It was fearsome sad. Watching, you get the meaning of "he never knew what hit him." But inside that moment for the Doctor, things just slammed to black.

I couldn't do nothin or even think. I just zipped up and stumbled away.

hey DR, I'm rightly glad that you were there to see it and straighten out all the terrible rumors that have been circulating. From the way I heard it, Dr Sprock didn't hit that Penis rock on his temple, rather he sat right down on it and it was a bit larger then he was accustomed to and it split him right up the middle and he just plain bled out. So I am very glad that you could set the story straight. I guess that is karma for all the gang banging he was doing.

geeze, I thought this was some Sprock spray and spew about how he crushed on sandstone...

...learn to find out that not only did he die accidently watching Doug trying to pee but lived to hear about it too... I'm so confused...

And DR, Breedlove has a rule that us old guys can't go on about our geriatric infirmities in public... stiff upper lip and all that... I never imagined that peeing could be so difficult! I mean, you just point and shoot when you're young, nowadays you point for ever, and when it goes off, you have to make sure you're unloaded before you zip the thing back in your pants...

and if it wasn't for the false claim of death, he would have been admired for how he lived.

Dr Sprock, now that you're gone, it feels just like we never ever met as I can't even picture your face. It's like we never shared late night Face Time sessions baring our souls as we alternated between laughing and crying.

It's as if we never shared a rope that opened my eyes to a connection that extends beyond the nylon, and suddenly I can walk through a rhododendron patch again without remembering that one heinous approach that we - yeah, you know the one.

Yes, it feels like none of those ever even happened.

You'll be missed, but I I'll find a way to carry on.

RIP, I guess.
