The Return of Nicholas (Hikingman)

Forums:

Probably is never going to happen, so it's about time the zone got itself a new village idiot. Any volunteers or nominations?

Nick was not an idiot- let me be the first to proclaim.

Perhaps not at first, but he became progressively overtaken by his screen persona.

^^^  you gotta commit to the gimmick

I thought he retired from Coroner School and went insane ? Maybe that was another Colorado dude.

I was a latecomer to the old zone, and never got to meet Nick, but I did catch a few flashes of what I'd call his brilliance at times. That said, Surfdead and LiquidMonkey make very good points.

would probably end up being the watershed moment of viva. 

he used to call disco stu - disco douche. hahahaha

ras? 

>>> he became progressively overtaken by his screen persona.

That just can't be good.

 

The guy put out some pretty hilarious stuff, and his schtick was hard to "get" for a while. Took a royal beating from some of that old "wolfpack" crowd like a man. I've never met him, but if anybody does know him these days, I hope he's alright.

Met him once with the NoCo/FoCo crew. They collectively moved on. Nick, Bekim, Olson. Not sure why. 

i've seen olson post on the david lemiuex twitter feed. funny right. 

olson was literally trying to find and physically fight me when i was in colorado in 2010 at a furthur show with nick. 

that same weekend we went camping and both saw each other naked as we undressed for the night. 

in all seriousness, nick is one of the most generous and thoughtful dudes one could meet or call a friend. miss the guy, its been forever. 

The hikingman is missed and beloved by 99.9% of viva posters.

He always spoke warmly about you, Sarah. Also, no matter the misongyny or sexist remarks being thrown at you, the hikingman always-always-always had your back.

Thank you for not naming names of the 0.1%, 4winds. I'd like to keep this a phamily phriendly thread.

And speaking of names, it looks like we might have our first nomination:

> ras?

At least I think that's a nomination. ogkb, were you nominating ras, or just sending up a bat signal?

Is raztard keyshawn?

Absolutely, an upstanding and exemplary member of the community.

I lurked mostly Hep C folder since 05 or 06 joined that folder in 08.

Damned if I didn't laugh my ass off to the zippy shit and the DSO connection. 

Panchos (I think) gifs.

Ras it just a sock puppet

Lol

Edit. To say great edit, jr.

we did dso tour colorado 4th of july. it was super bitchen and rad.

 

 

I always liked Nick, he was a gentleman <3

Hope he is well ?

I like Nick. Haven't seen him since we were at a free Little Feat show at a Lafayette Main Street thing. I think that was the last time I saw John wood. And JJW has lost a bunch of weight and looked much healthier. Damn shame.

Nick was there when I met JR at that further shoe and he was there when I met turtle at DSO overlooking Lake Dillon. Nick was instrumental in getting people together and making zoners meet zoners. Too bad this is all in the past tense. The first time I ever met Nick was a PZ blind date at the Village Coffee Shop in Boulder for Meat Loaf Wednesday.
funny thing is there was a different time I was at the same restaurant alone, eating meat loaf, and the pay phone rings and the waitress yells "is there a Ned here?"  It was Nick. 
That is all. 

up the poudre

mishawaka

vorty sound check white noise.

Maybe he is sheltering on place at the Boulder bandshell?

I think I saw Hikingman on one of the Browns helmets last night. go browns!

Nick who?

YES CHILDREN YES

^haha

nick = all time classic zoner. 

It's Friday.  2 p.m. always makes me feel like Charlie Brown after Lucy has pulled the football away again.

Dave, I was going to say that if Viva is ever going to get an actual Big Friday Surprise, today should be the day.

The smoke is clearing here today.  It's the little things that matter most.

"Junk ball meth fest" is a staple of my vocabulary thanks to that moon faced freak. Hope the kid is alright.

Super surprised brian d hasn't posted in here yet.  He and Nick had a really intense connection.

<< Super surprised brian d hasn't posted in here yet. 

he's the bald guy who everyone complained about having smelly feet at a zoner jam. right sarah? 

Check, with the white tube socks.

Dino has told me interesting stories about Nicholas.

Posts like that aren't going to rescue Viva from obscurity, Lager. We need details. Phat, juicy details. Make some up if you have to.

As much as I want to, I want to be a part of the solution and make Viva a shining example of love and happiness and not kiss and tell.

Do love and happiness and kissing and telling have to be mutually exclusive? I don't think so, and especially not in a work of fiction.

BTW, Ned, your story about meeting Nick in the coffee shop was beautiful whether it was true or not. I'll never look at meatloaf the same again.

 >>>>>I was at the same restaurant alone, eating meat loaf,

Almost makes me cry.
