The Ted Kaczynski thread.

[wildstorm 297]

so, was this based on a last minute suggestion from the forum? or was this decision slated for a while?

just wanted to know who to blame if it turns out to be a dud

[gcreptile 10,987]

Risky pick, but in pure terms of probability, better than, say, Dick Van Dyke.

Who is he

American guy who hated the industrial revolution and it's consequences that sent bombs through the mail.

Seems to be a lot of picks based on last minute suggestions this year.

Might be a wasted spot but I kinda like this addition tbh

Ted has terminal cancer with at most 2 years to live, according to a letter from the man himself.

Anything else happen to be delivered with the letter?

[Dr_T 254]

I can't quite remember the whole story, but 20+ years ago someone ran a competition to write a limerick containing the names Kaczynski and Lewinski.

 

I think these were two of the winners.

 

Monica Lewinsky has shown,

What Kaczynski must surely have known.

That a head job is better

Than a bomb in a letter,

If there's something that needs to be blown.

 

Said Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky:

You don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski.

So since you look such a mess,

Take the hem of your dress,

And wipe that stuff off of your chinski.

 

There was a third as well which had the lines: She played "Hail to the Chief", on that flute made of beef....but I don't remember the rest.

He's got bed-blocker written all over him. Would be stunned if he's dead by 2025.

He is a primitivist. I dont think he'll want to get any sort of treatment for his cancer, apart from palliative.

[arghton 6,775]

Atleast we now know that he is ill and not just in FMC Butner for treatment of a broken leg or something else like that asshole called Russell Weston Jr. (Of course Teddy could be doing a Zia and exaggerating his health issues as a desperate attempt to get to spend his last year(s) outside of jail, one possible option is that he has cancer but it isn't terminal. Who knows.)

The exact part of the letter it's mentioned in is this:

I'm not going to "get well soon" --or ever-- because I have terminal cancer. I can't expect to live more than two years at the outside, and I may well be dead in less than a year, so the work will have to be done by younger people.

The second option (less than 1y), please?

[Dr_T 254]

Ah the internet never forgets

 

Here is a cut and paste about the limericks. 

 

This is from a contest whose requirements were to use the
words Lewinsky and Kaczynski (the Unibomber) in a limerick.

Winner:
There once was a gal named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas "Hail to the Chief"
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

First runner up:
Said Bill Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky
We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you look such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And wipe that stuff off of your chinsky.

Second runner up:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known:
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter
Given the choice of how to be blown

Rumors of his death on 4chan this morning turn out to be fake.

Not sure why they added him....only to drop him.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Beaten by three minutes.

 

He was gonna try making it to 2024 but he mailed it in.

[Windsor 2,233]

My sixth shadow hit.

 

In an unusual move for me they are also all in my DDP this year.

Yes, we posted that they gave him roughly until late 2022/early 2023. The list didn't listen here.
