Same. Thanks for posting, wheez's sister. In case you don't know how to work the forums yet, you can see Aric's post history here. It only goes back 500 posts sadly, but you may find something in there.

tip for Aric's sister, go re-read the fried chicken recipe now that you have an account. The recipe page still has some of the language filter words in it like "loving"

i mean i know you were censoring all the swears anyway but still

I know a lot of us come here to just talk poo poo and act stupid but this really is a community in a lot of respects. I mostly lurk but my overall enjoyment of football or any online activity would be limited if not for this place.

I decided to change the "loving" and "poo poo" to [expletive] because it's confusing for those unfamiliar with that usage and, I thought, funnier.

I see he averaged 7 posts per day since 2004. Holy poo poo. Would it be reasonable to try and request more than 500 post history results from the admins?

It must be strange seeing the real person after interacting with his anonymous persona for so long, but I suppose in this case the "big reveal" of who he really was works out because he didn't make anything up.

also if you'd like to see any functions or features or something added, or if something isn't working correctly and you have any other suggestions let me know. Usually I would be asking him about that sort of thing since I'm poo poo at technology. (We have hand written notes he made and laminated for us explaining how to use all the different remotes at my parent's house.)

That would be an idea. If that fails, you can purchase access to the forum archives for like 10$. I'm 90% sure you can view all of his posts that way.

Either way, welcome and I hope these past couple of months have been as easy on you and your fam as they possibly could be.

It's strange because wheez was loving hilarious and just a ridiculous dude. It's good to see that his family is all about that too rather than just being like oh Aric was such a nice boy

Wow, I didn't expect this checking TFF randomly during the offseason. Seriously bummed out reading the OP but glad to see the followup and that someone from the fam is reading this. I think my favorite thing about wheez was that his tailgating food thread inspired me to cook up a storm and throw a themed watch party and friends are already asking if I'm going to do that again on Week 1, so I was looking forward to sharing some more recipes with him and all of you this year. Great dude, he will be missed.

There's this story about Swedes a woman from Stockholm told us. "These are Swedes. Everything is fine and everything is good and then one day Uncle Olle runs drunk and screaming into the woods in the dead of winter after burning his house down. Then he comes back a week later and everything is fine." This is Wazzu football every Saturday.

I'm an infrequent poster in this subforum but reading this made me so sad. Even as infrequently as I posted here I always noticed his posts.

I'm unemployed right now but as soon as I land a job I'll be kicking in something towards one of the charities listed.

I only frequent TFF during football season so I just found this. Wheez was a funny dude and I really enjoyed his posts. He is the reason I own a Washington State football shirt. I will wear it every Saturday during the season in remembrance.

This is what I get for skipping out on TFF in the offseason. RIP wheez the roux. Although we rooted for rival football teams, together we'll wear our Klay Thompson capes forever into the night. I really wish we had talked more outside of threads.

I'm getting a loving 4loko tonight.

e: following up. Just got home from the gym and made myself a nice omelet and am now saluting wheez with Blue Hurricane Flavor and Rick and Morty, a show I'm sure wheez would have loved if he didn't already. Apologies for my potato of a phonecam.



e2: good lord how did he drink this and still have tastebuds for all those dishes he made? I did a quick back-of-the-envelope and I'm pretty sure drinking this one can is roughly equivalent to drinking a full bottle of wine.

I have kind of a stupid announcement. wheez was my favorite TFF poster and possibly my favorite SAS poster. On that note, I have been negotiating something with my wife, but negotiations have finally ended so I am announcing my own memorial for wheez the roux. This season, for every touchdown the Cougs score I will take a shot of Fireball. Of course I intend to take these immediately following each touchdown each Saturday, however, with graduate studies and family and being an adult it is conceivable poo poo might pop up, so in special circumstances I might have to delay my drinks until Sunday. For instance I will definitely be working when the Apple Cup starts. Anyway... We'll all miss wheez and GDTs will never be the same, but go Cougs.

I like this idea. I might be in on this. Anyone else want to join?

I think it should be double for Apple Cup TDs though. And maybe there should be a separate thread for it?

I'm thinking I might also tie that into a donation- a dollar amount for every Coug TD payable at the end of the season to one of the charities?

I am totally down, the more the merrier. And I love the idea of raising more money for the SPLC or for Medecins sans frontieres or whatever. PM me if you want and we can work on a thread for closer to the opening of the season.
