Sad video from the dad but a little late to go to take him to the doctors yesterday. He needed medical attention a LONG time ago (well, clearly - he died...)

Still, his father is clearly very sad and going through a lot of grief.

Parents who lost their child often love to hear how they could have done better. They love constructive criticism from anonymous nobodies about what they should have done with their kid. If only Clint talked to YOU!
 
Went ahead and made a dank drink combo and peach offering for m'lord's spirit.

Set it on the fireplace mantle as an altar of sorts. Not green enough (Satan forgive me), but it's nearly equal parts JD, MTN Dew, Peach Tea so it works. Rest easy, Josh. TWU.

A lot of speculation in this thread about how he died - bog witch poisoning, Reddit-based alcohol delivery toxicity, organ failure, diet-related illness like heart attack or stroke. The coroner will find none of these are the cause of death.

The truth is, Cobes has died of a broken heart after Ozzy's passing. RIP King, I will never forget the first time I saw you put brown sugar and chocolate covered cherries on a motherfucking bacon cheeseburger.

he didnt rule my life but in a weird way I knew his spirit so to speak. he was like every weird kid from school and there was a charm about him. its just sad seeing a harmless man like him die alone in misery while pedo fags like cyrax (337 loyd st) are still kicking
 
Goodbye Josh. You made me laugh all the time, even if you didn't always intend to. It's a less interesting world without you in it.

Also, the Clint video. It seems impossible not to address that. I've always been a Clint defender when it came to how he raised Josh and how he treated him. I think it's absolutely psychotic to think he didn't love the man deeply and want to do his best by him.

That bit where he mentioned wanting to delete all the social media as a fuck you to all the people, probably us included, who mocked him, I get it. I completely get it. There were probably years, hell over a decade's worth of arguments about his internet presence and people fucking with him. Clint probably wanted it gone and him to stop it.

Not doing that, thanking the people who let Josh express himself in the way he wanted to, using all the dumb catch-phrases, even telling people to make a combo when he suspects, rightly so, that could have killed him.

Its odd but, to me, that was the most mature thing I've ever seen someone featured on this site do. Clint, given the circumstances has every right to be selfish and do what makes life easier for him right now. But he didn't. He did what he knows Josh wanted, because Josh wanted it, because Josh mattered. Say what you want about how Clint dealt with Josh in life but we would all be so lucky to have loved ones who did for us what Clint did.

personally I believe whatever heat you have with someone in a thread, should stay in that thread.

if someone calls me gay in the sonic thread, I'm not going to call the same guy gay in the Niggers eating corn starch thread. it's just common decency.
at the very least people should know when to drop that shit when something important happens.
Josh passing is a time where we all have to drop all anger, and just chill in his thread for while out of respect.

Totally agreed. My point was how much we actually all have in common in the stuff we deal with day to day, over what other want us to fight over. This was just another testament to that.

A side note, I think it’s beautiful the outpouring of love but sad it didn’t happen for Cobes to see it. Just a reminder, to reach out to those people you love that you may not have expressed that to recently, and let them know.

If you watch the eviction saga Clint was guiding him through everything while letting Josh make the decisions. Constant “We’ll get through this” etcs

I try not to be vulnerable or show much emotion on this site, but this thread is an all bets are off. And we’re all here supporting each other. It’s really quite beautiful.

I don't get all the Clint hate, truly. The reason that Josh was able to be himself was because of Clint's willingness to let Josh he his own man. I guess some would have preferred to see him under lock and key in an institution or something? I feel like the Clint haters wish they had a dad in their life that was a fraction as a committed as Clint is.

I think it's just a natural reaction by some after having to watch Cobra destroy his body for years and knowing what the eventual result would be. Everyone, who wasn't a shit sucking a-log, wanted the best for Josh but we all also knew there was no piercing his defiance. In the end Josh was a bright light that was also going to burn out sooner rather than later and at the very least he lived life his own way even if it looked grim and miserable to most of us.

I've been fairly neutral on Clint. I've always thought he tried his best but made some stupid mistakes along the way like offering up personal and embarrassing information about Josh in the various Reddit posts and videos he has made over the years but then again no one is perfect and in the words of Josh, Clint was just doing the best he could everyday toobz. Regardless of how you feel about Clints actions as a father we all have to agree that no father should have to find his son dead. That's one of the great tragedies of the world alongside children getting cancer. This entire situation sucks, it came a lot sooner than I or anyone else thought it would but a lot of us have been expecting this to happen for years now. At the very least the boy isn't in pain anymore and I encourage everyone to pour out some booze for the boy and eat some dank food so it becomes ghost food so he can experience that crunch, that munch in the afterlife.

although we ragged on him I like to think we all at least on some level were able to relate to Josh in someway. I think a lot of people on here were the "weird" kid at one point or another and Josh was that archetype all grown up.
 
I've just skimmed the many many pages that this thread has grown in the past 24 hours, but I can see all of the stages of grief:

  • Denial: "No, I don't believe it! The dead body at the trailer could have been Warlord!"
  • Anger: "GOD DAMNIT!"
  • Bargaining: "Take NAL, take CWC, take Boogie, just please don't take the boy!"
  • Depression: "This year sucks."
  • Acceptance: "It is what it is, toobz."

I watched Clint's video, and it was heartbreaking to see him in this state. I can't imagine what he's going through right now. Even when you know it's coming, you're never truly ready for it.

It should be a reminder for us all: Hug your loved ones, and let them know how important they are to you. Don't wait. Do it while you can. :feels:

Half the wine from my mom. 2015 vintage.

As I see the message I originally typed in response, I am deleting it and I will go sleep after the mead.
Edit: not that it was disrespectful, it's just that vintage wine is one of the few things I have left drink and I sure as hell am not drinking that ever. I also went into a huge tangent about each bottle I do currently have, which made me realize how drunk I alrady am.

I was thinking that last night while we were all speculating, how many of us were the weird bullied kid in school. I think it’s more than not, which is why we take the “look but don’t touch” approach. Redditors or the fags coming here to gloat are just straight up shit for nothing bullies. Imagine the high point of your day is dunking on a dead autist and his grieving father.
 
Rest In Power Dark Lord. Damn man, feels so weird to know that from now on, I won't be hearing updates on Josh, his drink combos, ungodly recipes or just general retard but harmless and fun antics. We lost a good one, Kiwis. I'll always remember him. *downs a cobra's mist*.
Cheers, Josh. Be at peace now.
