re: Brendan Stryker: The Feodor Sverdlov Connection

[FindingNamo]

So much more gorgeous and sexy than any of us. One day he'd post a medium shot with his shirt off and his eyelids at half mast and sure enough the next day, everybody's avatar looked just like that.

You always said how lucky you were to have so many of us to show pictures of yourself to here. But it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones.

[Dollypop]

Here's where Dollypop leads the choir in a rendition of one of Brendan's favourite Anglican hymns: "Blest Be The Tie That Binds".

[Rathnait62]

You'd think a good Catholic like you would know it's "Blest."

[Dollypop]

Correction made.

Yes, I'm Catholic, but the hymn is Anglican.

[PalJoey]

I'll never forget those late-night chats, when all of you were asleep.

Oh, Brendan, the "naughty" things you wanted to do to me, I'll remember all my life long.



RIP, Brendan. Here's looking at YOU, you "naughty" kid.

[Kringas]

Post on my board
I'll be your reader
Just pay me back with one thousand pictures
Be my Brendan
And my Convince Me 2

Open your shirt
Show me that chest hair
Don't have much substance
When posting on here
But shirtless pics you've got to spare
You'll be there
And we'll look at you

I think they meant it
When they said you were faking
Half the board doesn't get it
Their hands are still shaking
"He's gone," they cry.
"Oh, how he's gone."

I've longed to discover
Someone as cool as you were
So, with a 1000 dif'rnt pictures
We'll leer at you
With a 1000 dif'rent pictures
We'll sneer at you
With a 1000 dif'rent pictures
We'll laugh at you
With a 1000 dif'rent pictures
We'll cry for you

Oh, Brenden, we'll cover you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Brenden we'll cover -

525, 600 pictures
525 pictures of

Str-yyy-kerrrrrrr!

[Dollypop]

Brendan was incredibly sexy.

[jrb_actor]

Oh, Kringas, that was BRILLIANT.

And, yes, DP--whoever that is in Brendan's pictures is HOT HOT HOT.

[Dollypop]

Remember that picture he posted where he was dancing in the kitchen with some woman? Oh so sexy!

[YankeesFan175]

kringas, that was awesome!


brendan will be missed.

[jrb_actor]

Yes---or the picture from a costume party that he tried to claim was a picture of him in a production of Rocky Horror. He made an adorable nerd.

It was just too bad he could never come up with new pictures. He must have lost track of the guy in those photos. If only we could find the guy in those photos, we might be able to see new ones!

[Dollypop]

Or that picture of him in shorts climbing a glacier? Swoon!

[PalJoey]

Kringas--you are the best!

[pattifan2]

Kringas - that is why you are loved!!!

Dancing in the kitchen, Dolly?? A lot of people were.... Lindbergh had just landed.

[Kringas]

This thread is about Brendan, boys, not me. Jeez, you'd think I posted pictures of me and a bunch of guys without our shirts on.

[brdlwyr]

Kringas - hilarious!!!

[popcultureboy]

Well do it and see what happens., Kringas.

Interestingly, I PMed Brendan about that glacier pic as he'd cropped it for his avatar and I couldn't make out what it was. So he PMed me the full pic via a photobucket link. I was going through his PMs last night to try and glean some info from them and the photo was no longer there.

[FindingNamo]

I remember one day this group of rednecks came up to Brendan on the street looking for directions to Buncombe County, North Carolina. You could tell they were really freaked out. They'd obviously never seen a drop dead gorgeous man before. Not only did she, he, take them back to his place to Mapquest directions for them, he made them a snack, introduced him to the family of displaced New Orleans residents he'd taken in, took off his shirt, oiled himself up and posed for pictures with them before sending them on their way.

She, he later cropped everybody else out of the photos.

[PalJoey]

Spooky, Poppy, spooky...

Does anyone else suspect that Brendan was a creation of the Julie-Andrews-loving former poster named "Feodor Sverdlov," whose name was based on a character from Julie's movie The Tamarind Seed?

Feodor claimed to be straight and married with 2 kids. He disappeared after he claimed his Julie Andrews fan pics were erased. By whom, he never said. Other posters complained several times that when they posted, Feodor's name and avatar came up instead of theirs. This "glitch" was never explained.

Shortly after Feodor left, ConvinceMe2 arrived, claiming to be 20 years younger than Feodor, bisexual not straight but just as much a Julie Andrews fan. ConvinceMe/Brendan was also, oddly enough, a fan of Hollywood hunks from the 50s and a passionate hater of Barbra Streisand, both unlikely obsessions for a 30-something bisexual.

I always thought he was a 50-something gay man who had found a stache of handsome photos and once accused him of that. That was when he started sending me "naughty" PMs, which I always thought were designed to distract me.

[Kringas]

I didn't realize he was bi.

[FindingNamo]

Did they distract you?

[PalJoey]

Momentarily.

[soapguy17]

I'm confused. I'm reading the thread and laughing my @$$ off ,but now I feel bad. Is Brendan really dead? What's going on?

[FindingNamo]

He isn't merely nearly dead, he's really most sincerely dead.

Now, please share your memories of Brendan in this memorial service thread.

[JerseyGirl2]

You should all be ashamed of yourselves! I took this at the service.

[FindingNamo]

Only two pall bearers. He never liked to burden people.
