Mock Update! He's awake!

[Taco John]

With many thanks to BroncoBuff and ca412 for tracking him down, we have been able to confirm the whereabouts of Mock, and get the full story. And in Mock fashion, it's a strange one!

You might have heard recently about the Salmonella-tainted peanut butter (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/429554,CST-NWS-peanut15.article) that has been affecting people particularly in the mid-west. It appears that Mock was one of the victims.

Here is the story as it was relayed to me (thanks BroncoBuff):

He picked up his mother May 27 or 28 to drive down together to to see his brother David in Arkansas and help with the harvest.

On the way down he became very sick, and told his mother that it was peanut butter. He toughed it out and was taken to a hospital in Little Rock when he arrived.

They gave him medication - and he had a reaction to the medication - his toungue swelled up, and his airway was constricted. He was (still is) in ICU in Little Rock.

He is responding some now, but has a hard time talking (which is largely thanks to the intubation tube they've got in him to keep his air passage open). He whispered to one of David's farm-workers "get me a beer," which they took as a good sign.



I've personally spoken to his mom, and things are looking up. He's had a couple of set backs, but there is a definite feeling of optimism coming out of her, and she seems genuinely touched that his "Internet friends" have tracked him down to wish him well. BroncoBuff was able to actually converse with him. As I understand it, it wasn't so much conversing as talking to him and letting him know that people on the board are thinking of him. Mock's mom says that his eyes lit up during the exchange, but it tired him out and he was resting when I called.

We agreed that it would probably be best if there weren't a whole lot of phone calls from well wishers until it was clear that he was out of the woods. In the meantime, she says that she felt he would absolutely respond well to cards and well wishes sent to his hospital room.

Cards are VERY welcome asap:

Brian Pelzer
University of Arkansas Medical Center
Room 463
4301 W. Markham St.
Little Rock, AR 72205


Buff an I will maintain contact with his mother to check in on his progress. At some point, he's going to be well enough to talk to friends over here who care to call him. Until that point, it's probably best that we keep it to cards and letters.

...and prayers.

:pray:

[eddie mac]

Excellent news TJ. I'd send him some Guinness but dont know if they'd allow it in the hospital.

[DenverBrit]

Great news.
Kudos to you and BroncoBuff for tracking Mock's whereabouts. :sunshine:

[Sassy]

Great news!
Keep getting better Mock!

[Bob's your Information Minister]

This is awesome. I like Mock alot and am glad he's doing well. LONG LIVE MOCK!

[Los Broncos]

Great news.

I really hope to see you on the board in the very near future, we miss you!

[Sideburn]

That is awesome news. Thanks for the info for cards. Much appreciated.

[BroncoBuff]

I told him we signed big fat Sam Adams and big fat Jimmy Kennedy .... and he gurgled.


Geez, I hope that didn't send him over the edge .... Uhh

[SoDak Bronco]

wow good news, this was all bc of some peanut butter??

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Tainted peanut butter, you never know. Hopefully, he continues to improve!

[Taco John]

wow good news, this was all bc of some peanut butter??



That's where it started... But the reaction to the medication sent him over the edge...

[Killericon]

This is the best news I've heard in a while. Here's hoping he's back soon!

[Dr.5280]

I love peanut butter. I love lawyers. I ain't got no tainted peanut butter but I got me some tainted lawyers. I hope Mock can put the two together and file a classless action suit.

[alkemical]

wow - craaaaazy

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Fantastic news. Get well Mock.

Wow - peanut butter taking down Mock is like the bacteria taking down the aliens in War of Worlds.

[Kaylore]

Hope this means a turn for the best. Don't stop praying.

[Dukes]

This is awesome news! Lets hope he makes a speedy recovery.

[mosca]

Good to hear that he's doing better.

[Inkana7]

Great to hear! Viva la Mock!

[Needa Pass Rush]

I vote we make him change his handle from Watermock to Peter Pan or Skippy. Jiff may even have legs or we could just nickname him Chunky.

What would a STFU sound like with a wad of chunky stuck to the roof of his mouth?

All the best, Mock. Keep your chin up and heal fast.

[DomCasual]

Crazy bastard! He should sue them now. Mock could end up independently wealthy, like Tom Smykowski on Office Space!

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/user_images/pics/1/245000/ngbbs3c48f1755fcfb.jpg

[TailgateNut]

Great to hear things are on the upswing. Once he gets well, I'll be able to give the catlover some &^%$$& again.

Get well soon Mock!

[theAPAOps5]

This is a story that would be completely crazy.... if it weren't Mock. But for him this is par for the course. I am so glad he is doing better. Now he just needs to clear those last hurdles and get on the mane in time for the season.

[theAPAOps5]

Crazy bastard! He should sue them now. Mock could end up independently wealthy, like Tom Smykowski on Office Space!

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/user_images/pics/1/245000/ngbbs3c48f1755fcfb.jpg

He could invent the "Buy a Vowel Mat"

[CBF1]

I am suprised no mention of getting him a laptop

[Los Broncos]

I am suprised no mention of getting him a laptop

Maybe someone could donate or chip in on one.

[TailgateNut]

How about a plane ticket for Beezer. P&^% always cheers a man up.;D

[Odysseus]

What's up Skippy? LOL I'll get you a care package in a Jiffy? LOL

I'm glad Mock isn't over here. If he can get taken out by peanut butter he would be in a world of poo poo hanging out with me.

Uh Oh. I hope he doesn't send more rockets my way. I get an allergic reaction to those things.

You guys are too funny. I'm not playing where's Waldo with you guys.

[Requiem]

He's going to cry when he see's the card I'm making him.

[AboveAverage]

Great news, made my night knowing he will, God willing, be posting here again.

[DomCasual]

He could invent the "Buy a Vowel Mat"

Or the STFU mat!

[theAPAOps5]

I don't know about you all but with some of the stories in the past I can't wait to hear his description of this one.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Awesome. :)

[BroncoBuff]

I am suprised no mention of getting him a laptop

The red on my home color printer is too low right now ... but SOMEBODY with a good color printer should print out a few pages (10-20?) of the "Where is Mock?" threads. That would REALLY help him - that bright happy OrangeMane GUI has gotta be tatooed on every synapse in his brain by now ...

SOMEBODY with a good printer please do that!

[Pezman]

Yup, typical Mock style too wouldnt you say? I know this, he'll be back to trolling here way too soon.

But now, I worry though...what is ApaOps and BroncoBuff gonna focus their attention on? ;D

[bronco610]

Wife just got a brand new high dollar epson stylus. I'll do it!!!! For Mock anything. When I first came to this board he was about the only one to acknowledge me. Not always good but still........

[bronco610]

I can have it in the mail tomorrow and will be to him Saturday!!!

[theAPAOps5]

Yup, typical Mock style too wouldnt you say? I know this, he'll be back to trolling here way too soon.

But now, I worry though...what is ApaOps and BroncoBuff gonna focus their attention on? ;D

I don't know why I too such an interest in this. But I stopped trying to get a hold of him after my one attempt. Then I just continued to post in here. With training camp and a possible job switch I am sure I will have my interest pulled in those directions.

[SureShot]

Yup, typical Mock style too wouldnt you say? I know this, he'll be back to trolling here way too soon.

Well BroncoBuff has become quite the cellphone photog.

[Requiem]

Here's my card (cover) for Mock.

Enjoy!

I know he will! (HOPEFULLY!)

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/hartcavalcade/mockcard.jpg

[SoCalBronco]

Great news, thanks Boss and thanks Senator BroncoBuff.

I definitely have to send Mock a card.

Looks like he will be alright...thank God. :)

[SoCalBronco]

Here's my card (cover) for Mock.

Enjoy!

I know he will! (HOPEFULLY!)

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/hartcavalcade/mockcard.jpg

Oh man...thats friggin awesome, Req. Hilarious! You even got in the Ace Hardware reference.

Brilliant.

[Requiem]

Yeah. I'll probably get something nice to put it in tomorrow when I work. I think he'll enjoy it.

[Pezman]

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! EPIC! I bow to the new photochop masta Req!

Apa, believe me, you should be proud. I think you doubled your post count on Mockster's thread alone. Feel free to mix in some cat rants, and post 35 more posts per day and you'd be a Junior-Mock clone in training just like DORTOH ROFL!

[freak6]

That's great Req!! ha haaa

[DomCasual]

Here's my card (cover) for Mock.

Enjoy!

I know he will! (HOPEFULLY!)

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/hartcavalcade/mockcard.jpg

Holy Mother of God! You have WAY too much time on your hands! :)

[Requiem]

I hope he gets the laughs like you guys are. On a serious note though, I'm going to write him a little personal letter too. Just to let him know a lot of us are wishing for a speedy recovery. :)

There was so much more I wanted to add, but can't use too much ink.

[BroncoBuff]

Great news, thanks Boss and thanks Senator BroncoBuff.

Looks like he will be alright...thank God. :)
You're welcome ... but TJ and I just picked up the phone a few times.

cah412 did the real investigative work to find him ... props to cah412 :notworthy



Alhough I can share that the contact he gave me - mock's cousin Randy - was very skeptical. I started in how his internet community is concerned about him (....dead silence....) we would love to know where to send cards and letters (....dead silence...) We really love him, his cat Beezer, the way he loves the Broncos and 'Hornheads' (....dead silence....)

Finally, I kept quiet myself. Then .... after a long silence he says, "give me your phone number." And he called back 10 minutes later and gave me the brother's cel number ;D

Yep...I cant believe I omitted cah412...he also broke the news initially, many props to cah412, your efforts are much appreciated. :thumbsup:

[wolf754life]

get better mock, we all missed you in our own special ways!

[BroncoBuff]

Here's my card (cover) for Mock.

Enjoy!

I know he will! (HOPEFULLY!)

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/hartcavalcade/mockcard.jpg

That is so amazing Req ... !!!!

I wanna print out some OM pages for him. Anybody wanna split up some pages with me? I have to stop tomorrow for a new red cartridge, and the earliest I can get them in the mail is Saturday morning ... but anyone inclined to help out, please PM me and we'll choose up threads to print so we don't double-send.

[REB]

Alright good news. The power of prayer and well wishes :thumbsup: Get well soon Mock you freakin' dimwit!

And great work Req! That is hilarious ;D

[Pezman]

Again, stoked to hear Brian is well, but again, I am very disturbed about the privacy and lack of restraint by a few people in contacting a near stranger in real life. The actions taken to contact Brian's family might have led to a good conclusion but it does not justify violating his privacy.

End rant. Go Broncos. :)

[DeusExManning]

This is just awesome. For all the people that thought it was an alcohol induced coma STFU you dimwits. Go Broncos.

[gunns]

Prayers have been answered. Sounds like some more are needed.

This is great news! Glad to hear he's on the road to recovery. Must have been an awful reaction considering the time that he's been there and still in ICU.

Aww, the power of prayers. Great card Requiem.

[Meck77]

Amen!

[PatsWin2002]

Finally some good friggin' news around here. !Booya!

I'll get a card to him as soon as I can. I'm sure he looks no worse in a johnny than Belichick looks in a gray hoodie!

[broncocalijohn]

That's where it started... But the reaction to the medication sent him over the edge...

It says on the side of the jar to never add beer to a full mouth of peanut butter. Or was it a full mouth of beer and adding the peanut butter. Catch 22. Happy he should be healthy enough have his life back. But now supply in beer will go up and we will pay more. Also, he comes back with his keyboard. Oh well, I cant wait to see him start a thread on what happened.......... then watch him him hijack his own thread. He is going to tell us not in a nice detailed post but break it down in 2000 posts in the thread to catch up on his post count.
Come on slap you have only a few weeks to close the gap on Mock.

In all seriousness, I hope the soon to be drunk gets healthy. I bet he misses his cat but I guess not more than a beer. Buff, nice to know he wanted a beer as his first statement. He really does need to stay off the sauce for awhile. If only Beezer knew what he said.

[broncocalijohn]

Req you need to add a drum set to the card.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Very good news.

[Atlas]

I'm getting him a package ready to mail off. I thought a 1995 MNF game against the Raiders and maybe a John Elway rookie card would cheer him up.

[elsid13]

Well good news.

[broncogary]

... but again, I am very disturbed about the privacy and lack of restraint by a few people in contacting a near stranger in real life. The actions taken to contact Brian's family might have led to a good conclusion but it does not justify violating his privacy.

I thought you were only going to say it once.

[brncs_fan]

Good to hear that mock is doing better.

I hope he gets back soon so I can have someone to argue with again. I miss his little rants.

[broncogary]

Reading his peanut butter-induced rants, I was afraid it was going to come to this. I was hoping his family would intervene; hopefully, this gets his attention.

[Archie]

Here's my card (cover) for Mock.

Enjoy!

I know he will! (HOPEFULLY!)

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/hartcavalcade/mockcard.jpg

Ok - this is awesome.... Great job!

[Arkansas Bronco]

I am glad he is getting better. From what Taco said he is still in ICU and they dont keep ya there unless you are still along way off so dont stop the prayers and thoughts.

[BroncoBuff]

Here's that address again - so no excuses!

Cards are VERY welcome asap:

Brian Pelzer
University of Arkansas Medical Center
Room 463
4301 W. Markham St.
Little Rock, AR 72205

Send anything - send a dang postcard ;D

[broncogary]

I wonder if the PB stuck to the roof of his, I mean, over Arkansas.

[Archie]

I don't know Pez... in watching this mostly from the sidelines (it has been a very intriguing story - one that frankly could make papers, etc..) I think this has been fine. This story is a validation of the human condition. We here have a virtual community. Most of us have never met each other (although all of us tailgaters get to make the real connection as you and I did in Phoenix). But, despite being virtual, just like in a real community, people care about the relative health and well being of the others and there is nothing virtual about that. It is as real and as healthy as it is in your own neighborhood.

If you had a neighbor that you heard from 30 times a day and who was a central figure in the neighborhood and suddenly he disappeard into thin air, you would be ok knocking on their front door. And after a reasonable length of time having no response and no other indication of why he's vanished you would (ok, many would) have the police come and break the door down looking to see if things are ok.

I think the only violation here was posting Mock's real name back early in the story and before he had an opportunity to ok it. But - reaching out to find him and see if he is ok, I have ZERO issue with that. It is a validation that our community, despite being virtual, is in fact a very real community made up of real people who continue to act like real people despite the virtual nature of how we connect.

[Popcorn Sutton]

Wow, great to hear he's doing better.

[Sassy]

Most of us have never met each other
...A lot of us have now...thanks to TJ's board and Meck.
I'd say quite a few of us have met.

[BlaK-Argentina]

I knew he wouldn't miss the season. ;D

Great news! Hopefully there will be no setbacks and he'll posting soon. :)

[Disco Man]

Good news......back on the Mane pissin' people off in no time!!!!!!!!! Not the same without you.

[Crowpointer]

You're welcome ... but TJ and I just picked up the phone a few times.

That sounds like a scene out of a movie. Get better soon Mock !

[ND Bronco Fan]

Its weird how someone you have never met but you "hang out" with every day affect you......I was sad to hear about Mock and the coma, but this just made my day to know that he can and is recovering. Good luck buddy-get well soon, camp is coming.

[rbackfactory80]

66000 and counting. Very good news!

I dunno.......I tend to agree with Pez on this issue. This whole thing leaves me just as much creeped out as I am relieved that he'll eventually be okay.

I certainly do not approve of his address being posted like it is...that should be handled thru a PM IMHO. If anything like this happened to me, I certainly would not be cool with the way this all went down....but maybe that's just me.

In any event, I'm glad he'll be okay and back with us shortly.....I just knew it wasn't the booze that did it.

Well - his address has not been posted. The address of a hospital in Little Rock has been posted. I would TOTALLY agree that posting his own personal address would not be ok. Not that you can't find that stuff out with enough diligent work.

But... the issue Pez raised was not the posting of information but actually reaching out to the "complete stranger" cousin to find more information. And I just don't have an issue with that at all in particular in the way that is was done.

[Lev Vyvanse]

Well - his address has not been posted. The address of a hospital in Little Rock has been posted. I would TOTALLY agree that posting his own personal address would not be OK. Not that you can't find that stuff out with enough diligent work.

But... the issue PE raised was not the posting of information but actually reaching out to the "complete stranger" cousin to find more information. And I just don't have an issue with that at all in particular in the way that is was done.

His full name and hometown have been posted. So anyone with an internet connection and a brain could now get his address and phone number. I'm with Pez and Hogan I'm not worried about right now but sometime in the future when Mock crosses some internet psycho.

[broncosteven]

I don't know about you all but with some of the stories in the past I can't wait to hear his description of this one.

If I were Mock I would go up to every Hot Chick I meet and start a conversation with her like this: "Hey Baby, I almost Died, 100's of people were concerned about me all over the world. I have found life to be a precious thing so I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

I bet he scores with that line!

Glad to hear Mock is doing well, hope for a speedy recovery.

[Raider Bill]

Jesus, I had no idea... good to see things are looking up.

[Hotrod]

Awesome.

Keep on keeping on Mockster

[bfoflcommish]

glad to hear things are getting better, get well Mock!

[NaptownChief]

Great news for the WaterMock.....


When he gets done settling with the peanut butter company he should be able to afford to sit around and post 100% of the time instead of just 95% of the time. ;D

[DeusExManning]

God has forced sobriety upon Mock, the lord works in mysterious ways.

[Bronco in TN.]

We've been following this over on the SouthStands.

Very glad he is getting better.

[Requiem]

Req you need to add a drum set to the card.

LMAO! I can definitely do that. Unfortunately, I might not be able to get the card off until Monday, but I'll have time to spiffy it up. :)

[Rohirrim]

Excellent news! I can't wait to hear Mock's take on this whole experience.

[dbfan4life]

I'm glad to hear Mock's doing better. Hope he continues and makes a full recovery.

[crowebomber]

Wow! Good news! The prayers actually worked!!! OK, now that Mock is on the mend, let's channel these prayers toward a Superbowl!

[Pezman]

Well - his address has not been posted. The address of a hospital in Little Rock has been posted. I would TOTALLY agree that posting his own personal address would not be ok. Not that you can't find that stuff out with enough diligent work.

But... the issue Pez raised was not the posting of information but actually reaching out to the "complete stranger" cousin to find more information. And I just don't have an issue with that at all in particular in the way that is was done.

The way I see it, I dont have any problem with people sending Mock get well cards. Its the manner that he was found and contacted that is what is the problem. Unless any of us purposely leave contact information with a friend here on the forum, then none of us should be violating a person's right to their privacy even if we are injured or sick. There is a line that has been crossed here that disgusts me and the people involved in contacting Brian's family unsolicited are what bothers me the most. Especially since there seems to be no concern or ramifications on their actions. Yet. God forbid that someday some idiot rummages through these threads and finds a way to harrass Brian and his family in real life. But whatever, Broncogary wants me to shut the &*** up about it, so I will.

End rant. Go Broncos

[Taco John]

Why can't people just wish Mock well without starting arguments?

[alkemical]

Why can't people just wish Mock well without starting arguments?

Stupid apes!

[Ratboy]

Great news! Hopefully we see him back soon.

[Ratboy]

Why can't people just wish Mock well without starting arguments?

It's what he would have wanted. :~ohyah!:

[Old Dude]

Sorry I am so late to this thread. I have been absolutely swamped at work, (and helping out more at home due to some serious in-law health issues).

I'm very sorry to hear about Mock's own health problem, but very glad to hear he's doing better, and I wish him the fastest possible recovery.

[Hogan11]

Why can't people just wish Mock well without starting arguments?

Because some just don't get that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Hopefully they will not learn this the hard way.

[bronco militia]

awesome news!

[sutoazul]

I'm glad we finally got news of him... Get well soon Mock!!

[theAPAOps5]

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! EPIC! I bow to the new photochop masta Req!

Apa, believe me, you should be proud. I think you doubled your post count on Mockster's thread alone. Feel free to mix in some cat rants, and post 35 more posts per day and you'd be a Junior-Mock clone in training just like DORTOH ROFL!

Actually my post counted skyrocketed playing Survivor. You make it sound like I was fanatical. I mostly posted Dimwit, a'fkjadslk;f, or buy a vowel. And again I tried to call his home number once, left a message, and never tried again. So I am unclear the attack.

[theAPAOps5]

Because some just don't get that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Hopefully they will not learn this the hard way.

I agree with you to a point. Especially with my bonehead posting of his personal information. But permission was given and thats when the full contact was made. So yours and Pez's arguments are moot. I for one don't just go around looking people up. In fact this was the first time ever and most likely the last. But you and Pez are starting to sound like you are mad because nonone listened even TJ.

[BMF Bronco]

right on!

[Hogan11]

Nah, not mad, just made very uncomfortable by it is all. I've said my bit and will let it stand. I'll just offer up my thoughts for Mock's speedy recovery again and fade out from here.

[Rock Chalk]

Bwahaha "Get me a beer".

Classic.

[theAPAOps5]

Well if you dissappear I won't try to look for you. Sorry you were made uncomfortable.

[TheDave]

This is good to hear... With all the goofy speculation as to the cause of this, I'm glad to see what the real reason was.


"Get me a beer"... I couldn't of written it any better.

[broncogary]

... But whatever, Broncogary wants me to shut the &*** up about it, so I will.

Thank you. Thank you very much. :notworthy

[Rock Chalk]

His full name and hometown have been posted. So anyone with an internet connection and a brain could now get his address and phone number. I'm with Pez and Hogan I'm not worried about right now but sometime in the future when Mock crosses some internet psycho.

Actually, he has posted his full name and hometown on many sites. I didnt know his full name, only his first name and Iowa as the state. I found his full name and hometown in lookin him up to find out what happened on the floyd little hall of fame site where HE posted that information.

I couldnt find a phone number or address for him even WITH that information however and I am well versed in finding that sort of thing out.

Way I see it, if you want to keep your privacy in tact, dont get on the internet. Dont meet people from the internet, dont converse with people from the internet. But why stop there, just seclude yourself from the world.

[That One Guy]

For those who are that worried about personal info being found, get your stuff off the internet if you're that worried. This is the age we live in that if you have a name, you can generally find out most of what you need to know (within reason). It really didn't take much work to find his info and I still don't see this violation of privacy that everyone has been barking about. If it's on the internet, it isn't private. It's that simple. Am I gonna go hunting down someone I meet on the internet just for the sake of meeting them? No, that would be overboard... but when the situation calls for it the internet is there for our usage. Once again, if someone can define privacy and tell me where it was invaded, I'd be more than happy to discuss this issue and really see where things stands. If you really think you should be able to exist on the internet and that never be able to find it's way back to you... sorry Jack, that day is long gone.

As for his personal info, I think that once everything settles down then this thread should be censored just as the old ones were. Once the name isn't necessary, no need to keep it displayed.

[PatsWin2002]

I knew his full name from the Orangemane March Madness pool. He used his own name on CBS Sportsline when he registered....now whether he MEANT to do that is another thing.

But since he had met some of you in person and exchanged phone numbers with Meck, etc. I think we're in the clear.

I got to thinking "what if it was me?".....Hmmm....well the mods would see my IP address for my workplace and as far as I know only Alec knows my first name. Those 2 things would be easy enough to figure out who I am and where I live (I've posted my town in the past).

[smalltowngrll]

Last time I'll chime in...

It wasn't about the ability to find the information out, it was about the respect of privacy. But, neither here nore there now. What's done is done.

Get well Mock...the chatroom on game days won't be the same without you!!

[Phantom]

Get well soon Mock.

[baja]

Reading his peanut butter-induced rants, I was afraid it was going to come to this. I was hoping his family would intervene; hopefully, this gets his attention.

L O L Very good.

Hope those that need to get it.

Don't eat the hospital jello Mock.

STFU

Mock "get me a beer" Ha! classic

[broncocalijohn]

His full name and hometown have been posted. So anyone with an internet connection and a brain could now get his address and phone number. I'm with Pez and Hogan I'm not worried about right now but sometime in the future when Mock crosses some internet psycho.

He IS our internet psycho. And you will remember when he makes a full recovery and starts typing away. I say his first post might be from the hospital. Double or nothing says he gets access illegally from one of the doctors/nurses computers.

Does anyone else think he got this tainted peanut butter from Meth Alley?

[Los Broncos]

Here's that address again - so no excuses!

Cards are VERY welcome asap:

God has forced sobriety upon Mock, the lord works in mysterious ways.

I don't post here a whole lot but I do come here to be entertained by those that do. Mock was always somebody who entertained, whether he was upsetting those around him or not I was laughing usually. I don't have a problem w/ posting info on him as it was not done w/ malice but I do have a problem w/ people passing judgment on him. Let people live how they want and if it don't agree w/ your set of principles, move along. I myself am going to have several friday night jack and cokes in honor of his getting better!

All the best to you mock and I will pray to the porcelain god for your fast recovery!!!

I totally agree......the respect of privacy was breached. No doubt about it. Come back soon Mock!!

[theAPAOps5]

I totally agree......the respect of privacy was breached. No doubt about it. Come back soon Mock!!

No his wasn't breached because his mom was fine with it and he got on the phone. If MOCK had a problem or decides he does have one then its a different story. Again like STG, Pez, and Hogan I am dropping it. All that matters is that Mock gets well enough to get home and get back on the mane.

[B-Love]

Mock couldn't let Beckham invade America with him asleep.

He's gotta catch Posh and that Spice Girls reunion tour too.

Mock treated me like I was a newbie when we first butted heads, not knowing or caring that I had spent the first 30 years of my life worshipping the Broncos and the NFL in general. And then for the next 3 years we both went out of our way to abuse one another. And honstly, I loved taking shots at the guy. Some of the funniest posts and greatest threads here were rips at him.

But when I posted about my wife's Cancer and brain tumors, he sent me a very nice PM, which was a nice gesture on his part. I PM'd him back and told him as much and I told him he was alright in my book. I hadn't had a conflict with him in some time.

Sometimes a gesture does go a long way. I hope the guy does get better.

I just put a postcard in the mail to him, i hope he gets it.

This is about how I met up with him, Crazyhoze and I were going at it and I took his coment personally & Mock was the 1st to PM me and wish me and my family well. Before that he would jump on me in threads.

I am beginning to think he is just posting so much that he gets people/posts confused but gets the PM's right.

Get better MocK!

We need a pool for the 1st day that Mock returns.

I know most of the Mockisms, what's the ACE Hardware one... some reference to being a tool?

[Requiem]

I know most of the Mockisms, what's the ACE Hardware one... some reference to being a tool?

I had made a post a while back (actually last summer) where I applied out at ACE to get a job over the summer. Mock writes an epic 1,000 word post regarding how he's got these water proof gloves from ACE that are the best ever. . . I think he talked about how Beezer hid them too. So basically, it's just referring to a story he told out of one of my stories.

I mentioned ACE again this summer, and he went bonkers.

God, he's going to love the card. I HOPE. :thumbs:

(The Columbo reference went right over my head. I had to Wiki it to even see what the reference was. One of those things that make you feel like a kid.)

Seriously. You have no room to talk when you're as fat and ugly as you are. I saw the pictures of you in your Star Wars get-up and you seriously ruined the beauty of the trilogy.

Heck, I even saw the one of you in your gay Chiefs jersey with binoculars around your neck? You checking out the 10 year olds boys at Oceans of Fun you sick ****?

Nobody here knows me but I gotta be the #1 lurker around here. I'm extremely happy to hear the good news about Mock and want to give Kudos and Rep to all of you that are putting the effort into letting him know how much he was missed. Anxiously awaiting a hopeful return from the Mock.

The Goose ;)

[bronco610]

85% of this thread went out in the mail to him today. Should hopefully be there tomorrow in print.

[Taco John]

I was able to reach Mock's mom tonight while he was awake. She put me up to his ear, and I let him know that people were hoping and praying for him, and that we're looking forward to his return to the Mane once he gets better. He did his best to talk, but with the tube down his throat, it made it difficult for me to understand what he was saying.

In true Mock fasion, he made a joke - but unfortunately, I couldn't understand it. Him Mom was laughing, and I tried to get her to interpret what he was saying, but when she'd get to the punch line, she'd start laughing herself! Ha! I'm not sure what the joke was, but it warmed my heart to know that his sense of humor was still in tact.

After my call with Mock, his brother ended up reaching me, and he gave me a little more backstory... Particularly where it comes to the seriousness of the situation. It turns out that they were afraid that they had lost him. At one point, he wasn't responding to stimuli, and there was a fear that he was braindead. He'd open his eyes, but it was a distant stare that didn't seem to register anything about where he was. But his mom would dutifully sit by his side and talk to him as much as possible. His brother said that they were starting to wonder if they were going to have to make the decision to let him go, when he noticed that when his mother would talk to him, Mock's eyes would start to tear up.

Slowly Mock has started to come around. His amenities were numb to the touch, but it sounds like he's slowly starting to regain the feeling in his hands. I didn't hear anything about his feet and legs, but my thought is that if he's starting to feel his hands, that's a good sign that the swelling is going down.

There's still a concern that all of the swelling may have caused some damage to his gray matter, though there is plenty of optimism, especially considering that he's able to talk and is making jokes. His family feels like his metal faculties are all there, but he's slowed in reaction due to the physical trauma that his body has suffered.

They were very pleased that we managed to get into contact with them. They feel like this sort of love is just what he needs right now, and welcome any cards and letters. His brother said that he knew that Mock was involved with something on the Internet, and wondered how he could get in contact with the people that Mock knew, but he isn't very Internet savvy himself. They're all very happy to learn that Mock has friends out here that care enough about him to track him down.

He's still not yet "out of the woods." He's had some set backs, and there is still a lot to be concerned about. Please folks: if you're religious, say a prayer. If you're not religious, think a few good thoughts about him healing up and returning to form. Please keep any negativity out of this thread, and focus on one thing: Mock getting better.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

God that's awful. All of this over a reaction to medication?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Bob cares, Mock. Bob cares.

[SoCalBronco]

Thanks for the update, Boss. If Mock is back to making jokes he is well on his way back. Slowly but surely, he will make it all the way back. I will definitely be sending Mock a card on Monday.

We are all thinking of you, Mock, keep getting better.

Mock will not let something like peanut butter take him down. He will make it back, dimwits. I have been praying for Mock nightly as I have the other requests. They are starting to get to be long prayers right about now.

[DeusExManning]

My letter is sent!

[BroncoBuff]

I'm mailing most of the "Pray for Mock" thread Saturday morning - the one started by SoCal.

The first two "Where is Mock?" threads were not, shall we say, entirely positive ;D If anybody has a chance, just print out an article or two from the OM front page or Denver Post - and stick it in the card-letter so he can read it ... I know that's what I would want.

Great to hear he's joking around.

[BroncoBuff]

The more I study on this whole situation, the more I'm thinking that this might not have been an accident. You may recall DomCasual started the thread "If you Died, Would Anybody Tell Us?" ... and then watermock had all this happen a month later. And I do know that Dom is fond of peanuts and peanut products ...

I've yet to decide if that just makes things funnier or if it's truly a bad thing. If she's an easygoing person and takes it as a joke, that could be hillarious. If she's not a laid-back person... she'll probably be very offended but not be sure why she's offended.

[theAPAOps5]

Hopefully she reads it to mock and he makes some sort of grunt or attempt at a laugh. Then she will be fine as he responded to it.

[crawdad]

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Mock the original KingPin from the Rocky Mountain News forum. I am glad to hear that he is recovering.

Thanks for the update TJ! Mock will be fine. That crazy ol' coot will buy his arse a vowel and stop being a dimwit so STFU! :)

I've held my tongue for a couple of weeks now about all this but Heav makes me want to respond.

Dude, do you ever have disagreements with a friend or loved one? Have you ever disagreed with a neighbor? Has anyone ever talked to you like you were a stupid piece of chit? If not your one of the lucky few. Most people have and that doesn't mean you wish ill-will on that person and if ill-will befalls that person you wish them well because none of that nonsense means a damn thing when someone is going through a serious health problem or dies. Mock can get carried away no doubt but it's easy to do so behind a computer screen and a case of whatever down your gullet. For the love of God just wish the guy well and take a chill pill.

Prayers to the mockster and his family. Looking forward to seeing you here on the Mane again soon.

[REB]

The concept of compassion shouldn't need to be explained...

Ya wouldn't think

[baja]

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Mock the original KingPin from the Rocky Mountain News forum. I am glad to hear that he is recovering.

That would be Slap Popps and Tredi

I still wonder if So Cal Bronco was a poster known as XYZ or something like that.

I was never a poster on the RMN board. This is the first Broncos board that I joined.

[Needa Pass Rush]

You guys realize that his mom is going to be reading him these cards, don't you?

Needless fretting. You're talking about the ROOTS of watermock, afterall. Ha!

Come on, Mock! Ask one of the kittens (nurses) to let you log on!

[baja]

Well So Cal he was a very good poster so it's a complement.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

They were very pleased that we managed to get into contact with them. They feel like this sort of love is just what he needs right now, and welcome any cards and letters. His brother said that he knew that Mock was involved with something on the Internet, and wondered how he could get in contact with the people that Mock knew, but he isn't very Internet savvy himself. They're all very happy to learn that Mock has friends out here that care enough about him to track him down.

He's still not yet "out of the woods." He's had some set backs, and there is still a lot to be concerned about. Please folks: if you're religious, say a prayer. If you're not religious, think a few good thoughts about him healing up and returning to form. Please keep any negativity out of this thread, and focus on one thing: Mock getting better.I'm glad and hopeful that the many people here caring about Mock might help a little.

I'm also sad to hear his condition is still in question!!

[Rock Chalk]

I remember when Mock first started to use the word "dimwit".

This is a great story, so bear with me is I let this unfold.

FOr a while, Mock was getting out of hand apparently with the insults and taxing Taco's censor tools. In fact, Id wager that most of the words in the censor are a direct result of mock coming up with new and inventive ways to insult folks. Anyway, after a couple of bannings he began to use the word dimwit.

Almost unknowingly when he first began, I had called someone a dimwitted mental midget or something of the like and I immediately got a PM from Mock stating (a direct quote here, I memorized it because it made me laugh).

"Look asshole, Taco has taken everything else away from me, you cant use dimwit, its mine".

I dont send out PM's to anyone, but that one was so funny I was tempted to post a screen shot of it on the forum. Of course, in mock fashion however, there was about 1,000 more words to it, but that was essentially the first sentence.

I cant wait for him to get back so I have someone to argue with formidably again.

[theAPAOps5]

LOL, that is the essence of Mock as I have come to know him this past year.

LOL That's what we're talking about. Can it get any funnier then that? No, no it can't :pray: for Mock

[BroncoBuff]

LOL I told you knothead, you cant use 'formidably' - it's mine.

[baja]

I reserve pepperbelly and beaner

[BroncoBuff]

I just don't get all the lov-e-dove for a guy that has been banned, multiple times, and has been a racisist, sexsist, name calling prick to many on here.

Not to mention a drunken poster with no other purpose than to fill his over inflated ego as a important part of the Mane...

Picking up on what baja said - say a brother or cousin you generally always argue with was suddenly in the hospital ... you immediately forget all the arguments and come to his aid, because FAMILY is a 'unifying thread.'

Here, even though we all live in different places, have different interests, believe different things and don't always get along - we ALL love the Broncos! That's the 'unifying thread' for everybody here, and that becomes a quasi-family dynamic. And watermock has never failed to hang tight to that 'unifying thread.' THAT'S why there's such an outpouring - the 'unifying thread' we share every day here is stronger than all the arguments combined.


I did send one "Hornheads" season preview article in the packet this morning, though ... but I wrote a note asking his mother to read that particular article with "skeptcism and annoyance" in her voice ;D



Oh, and "knothead" is mine.

[baja]

maybe we could have a "Adopt -a- Derogatory Word" draft

[Moon§hiner]

I got a card out to him earlier today....told him to get a FM radio and listen to Beaker Street for me and get well soon. We've had our clashes over the years but I just look at the internet for what it is, many personalities and egos that are going to eventually clash. Get well soon Mock!

[GSRelyea]

Well said

[theAPAOps5]

I call dibs on mental midget. I am thinking of sending him something Broncos related. I have to wait until I get home from Arizona but haven't figured out what yet. I was thinking of going to camp the first day and taking as many pictures as I can and then send it to him as sort of a scrap book. Hopefully he is recovered more and can flip through them.

[Blueflame]

Hey, I have dibs on "cretin".... ;)

[baja]

Hey, I have dibs on "cretin".... ;)

Sure you don't want anal retentive? ;D

[GSRelyea]

I don't normally post moral things on this site, but this has kind of hit a bone w/ me. I am home on a Saturday night because I broke up a fight 2 weeks ago and got 13 stiches in the bottom of my foot. Normally not a bad injury, but lack of playlets (leukemia) made it serious. I don't care if you hate mock, don't know mock or whatever.... this guy is in a seriouis situation and if sending cards helps; send cards; if sending flowers helps send flowers, bottom line we are all on the same team, and internet trash talking is not going to change that. GO BRONCOS- That's Mocks bottom line--- just like the rest of us. It is very wierd to me that people can pass judgment based on internet postings... bizarre. Mock is one of us ---- a bronco fan

[JCMElway]

Seriously, if you have any negativity you want to use on this thread, package it up and spew it on Chief's Planet where it will be put to better use.

[Blueflame]

Sure you don't want anal retentive? ;D

That would be a good choice... or anal/cranial inversion.... :P

[baja]

That would be a good choice... or anal/cranial inversion.... :P

Good one thanks for the heads up or down in this case

[baja]

That would be a good choice... or anal/cranial inversion.... :P

Course in a manner of speaking that would apply to many on this board that lately love to talk out their...

That is definitely not you though Blue.

[Blueflame]

Hehehe.... well, I think we all may have a few of those moments now and then. ;D

[Meck77]

Good to hear you are doing ok GS. Life can be very fragile and change on a dime. We've all experienced that recently.

[crawdad]

I know that 13 , Slap, Popps, blove and others were on the RMN board as was I but I also believe that Mock was known as KingPin.

[crawdad]

Back then he was a good kid and did have some amazing graphic skills. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[GreatBronco16]

Well I don't like the guy and all, but I would never want this to happen to anyone. Mock is an A-hole, but he is our A-hole.

Get well Mock.

[That One Guy]

Back then he was a good kid and did have some amazing graphic skills. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Congrats on being the first to ever refer to Mock as a kid. Grumpy old man is generally more fitting and definitely preferred.

[crawdad]

Well, I know Slap could answer my question. Or Popps?

[crawdad]

And compared to me, most of you guys are kids!

[crawdad]

And mostly good kids!!! Except a few like Bob

[Los Broncos]

And compared to me, most of you guys are kids!

How old are you?

[Taco John]

Well, I know Slap could answer my question. Or Popps?



Mock wasn't Kingpin.

[crawdad]

Well, I did forget one former member of the RMN forum...BPC also known as the Hawaiian kid or Big Poppa Chris. If you are sure Taco then I will stand corrected. I lose something during my slack times and naps. I am 57 yo.

[Odysseus]

Hey! I'm just found out that I am in a coma! Nobody reads my lame posts. Come on! Send ME stuff! I can be an A-Hole! I can talk about my cat!

:thanku:

[Rock Chalk]

I don't think Mock's long suit is graphic skill, he buys throw away computers at Wall Mart

I have grand children older than you

[That One Guy]

Hey! I'm just found out that I am in a coma! Nobody reads my lame posts. Come on! Send ME stuff! I can be an A-Hole! I can talk about my cat. I wonder what Beezer is doing? If Mock is in the country the coyotes might have got him. Poor Beezer. Whose he going to hack up a fur ball with now?

Sometimes I just don't understand you Quiet...

I am Mock's exploding spleen.

[Meck77]

lmfao...Good stuff quiet.

It hasn't rained in months! The tractor broke down in Arkansas. If it was German made the ****ing thing would still be running! Corn is coming along in Iowa. Beezer keeps looking at me funny I think he's in heat. Screw all you dimwits I was at Mile High chasing tail before you were even born.

[Odysseus]

Stupid Gringo! Go back to your happy life in Mexico!

You forgot to include the story about when he and some chicks took some psychadelics and wandered around the side of the road somewhere.

[broncocalijohn]

Hey dimwit, I can out debacte you anyday. Iwas champoin on the debate tmea so STFU.
Love Mock

[DomCasual]

The more I study on this whole situation, the more I'm thinking that this might not have been an accident. You may recall DomCasual started the thread "If you Died, Would Anybody Tell Us?" ... and then watermock had all this happen a month later. And I do know that Dom is fond of peanuts and peanut products ...


I'm just sayin' ....

STFU, dimwit! I had nothing to do with this.

I've been in the great state of Colorado for the weekend. I hate having to come back to reality.

[Meck77]

Hmm could you refresh my memory? Ha!

Fear and loathing in Iowa :peace:

I cant remember anymore than I included in the previous post, but its easily my favorite Mock story.

[mosca]

I think I remember that one - didn't it have something to do with him talking to a deer?

[baja]

I cant remember anymore than I included in the previous post, but its easily my favorite Mock story.

So your favorite Mock story is one you can't remember, what does that say??

[Hogan11]

If all this outpouring for him doesn't get him to a tailgate in the future, nothing will....Mock at a tailgate, think about it.

[crawdad]

I have grand children older than you

Right!

[elsid13]

And the fathers with daugthers and cats in CO are buying pad locks as we speak

[theAPAOps5]

I wonder if this brush with death will change him for the better, I mean the drinking and what not. Sometimes a good brush back from God puts things in perspective.

[Crushaholic]

Not only that, but it's on record that people actually care about him. His return will be interesting...

This reminds me of the time my brother & I went on bender in Mexico...

[Broncos_OTM]

Get well mock. i dont know ya. but i hope you can pull through.

[Sassy]

Sometimes I wonder if Mock was just an "act" on the board. He pm'ed me a few times and seemed like a nice guy...his pm's were totally different from the way he is on the board.
