Thoughts To Full Bong

[Von Halen]

One of our long time members, that notorious Canadian pothead named Full Bong, is having some medical issues. Without going into too much detail, he will be starting chemo this week, and could use some positive thoughts and words from his Roth Army brethren. This is a very serious matter. Full Bong himself didn't want to post this thread, because he didn't want it to seem like he was looking for a pity party. Well, fuck that. Too many times we haven't gotten the opportunity to let our members and DLR Army friends know we appreciate them, until it is too late.

It's funny, because when I mentioned this to Sesh, he said Hitch would love to give it to ole Full Bong in a thread like this. Without me telling Full Bong Sesh said that, Full Bong PM'd me the exact same sentiment! Ha ha! That is fucking awesome.

Anyway, Full Bong was previously a major contributor of stoned nonsense, to this site. He was around in the good old days, and definitely took his share of shit slinging. He always took it with a grain of salt, and never refrained from participating. He was a Mod back when he had enough activity that we needed Mods. Many of them. Even though he's Canadian, Full Bong is a good dude. It sucks he has to face what he's facing.

As the greatest Canadian trio (fuck no I'm not talking about Rush!) said, "Fight The Good Fight" Full Bong!

Thoughts & prayers to Full Bong and his family!!

Hopeful for a speedy recovery!

[FORD]

Fuck cancer dude, you got this!

[Seshmeister]

Who knew fingering a dog was carcinogenic?

So sorry to hear the shitty news Mr Bug...

[ashstralia]

Rush are the shit, numbnuts.

Be well, Full Bug.

[DONNIEP]

Bong - you're a fag if you don't show up and tell us how you're doing!

Ok, I'm gonna be serious for once. Well, for a minute or two, at least. Dude - you're in my thoughts and prayers. You are a great guy and I'm pulling for you. The usual thing to say is get better soon but I'm gonna say kick whatever is ailing you straight in the ass!! I know you're probably almost as old as Rip Von Winkle but you got this!

I'm praying for you Bong. And I am hoping for a speedy recovery brother.

[Fairwrning]

Hang in there Bug..you still have another Van Hagar tour to see in 2018 or whenever they decide to do it..rehash the elephant walk,that awesome hand signal thing, sappy raps by the lead singer, same old guitar solo...then again, maybe cancer isnt that bad after all...

[Nickdfresh]

Get well Full Bong, all the best....

[Full Bug]

Thanx for the good wishes guys...

I ain't near dead yet, but already have my girlfriend and my sister arguing among themselves over where and how I'm going to be buried, and who decides what is best for me, so I'm gonna have to look at getting something done for my wishes in writing, like I need more stress with that kind of bullshit....

[Von Halen]

Are they fighting over your bongs?

[Romeo Delight]

Thinking of you Brother!

[DavidLeeNatra]

To quote the man: "you can whip this, champ!"

All the best from the Kraut!

Actually, I start chemo and radiation treatment for Pancreatic Cancer once a week starting this Wednesday for maybe up to a year, if I last that long, considering I weigh 140 now, and chemo makes you lose weight, I'm gonna be a bone rack in no time....
Anyway, thought you guys might get a kick out of this, made up my will today, and at my service I asked that "Damn Good' and 'Happy Trails' be played, seemed fitting choices, also will take my 'It Ain't Van Halen Without David Lee Roth' t-shirt with me....

Don't give up, brother. We're all rooting for you! I wish you the best.

[Fairwrning]

I need to have a will made also..ya just never fuckin know..Damn dude, I dont really know what to say except think good thoughts. Get out and enjoy everything you can.

[moose]

Hey Full Bug sorry to read about this but cancer may have started the fight, but you are going to finish it because you're ROTHARMY warrior, and warriors don’t quit so become a survivor and not a victim
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr once said
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at a time of challenge and controversy.”

Wishing you the best bro

I had the same thought about Damn Good. It's quite long but then again it's not a hymn which all feel like they are 20 minutes long.

My idea was maybe a double bill with 'On Fire', most people here get cremated and if nothing else it would be a talking point...

Full Bug,

I want to apologize on behalf of Von for disparaging Rush™©® and sullying an otherwise uplifting thread of encouragement. Due to socialized medicine and legalized medicinal uses of MaryJane™©® in the Great White North™©®, I'm confident you'll overcome this challenge and one day soon you can FUCK CANCER IN THE BLOODY FUCKING ASS™©® (if you're down here in the Lower 48™©® with the rest of us, go back North™©® or you'll be at the mercy of whatever the Republicans do to Obamacare™©®)...

P.S. When you said "bone rack" I couldn't help but think of Rush's™©® Roll The Bones™©® LP... Gonna kick some gluteus max, It's a parallax, you dig?™©®

In all seriousness, wishing you well.

Icon™©®

Son of a bitch....

In our thoughts and prayers bro...

Very sorry to hear this. I'm WAY to familiar with this, and words really can't convey what ya want to say. Stand tall.....

After 30 years of long hair, now sporting the cue-ball look, cannot bring myself to go out without the bandanna yet though, but that will come in time I guess, feel like a stranger is looking back at me in the mirror...
Doing my 4th chemo tomorrow morning, all things considered it isn't going as bad as I thought it might, knock on wood.....

[Seshmeister]

The way to look at this is that for you it's a temporary setback whereas Brett Michaels is stuck with the bandana forever.

[Fairwrning]

Keep fighting..you can beat this shit..

Bong - you look better than most of the guys here, hair or not. Except for me. Cause I'm hotter than hell

Seriously, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Pulling for you man...looking good!

[Full Bug]

Hi all, I havent really given any kinda update in a few months, so thought I would check in, been a tough go of chemo twice a week, but now on top of that, been going through radiation treatment everyday as well for the past 2 weeks, so now I'm at the hospital every freaking day monday-friday, and thats been pretty brutal, getting up at 6:00 am and finally getting home around 7:00 pm all week long, finding that bullshit harder then the treatments and the after effects, start that merry-go-round again in the morning, so not much free time for the simple fun things in life these days, but on the bright side, 'so far' the treatments seem to be working, and go in for my major operation late next month, so, hey, I'm alive right?
I still pop in once in awhile and see whats going on, and the odd post from me, but it is what it is right?
Anyway, nice to say hi, and thanx for the nice thoughts sent out to me through this thread, it does help me want to keep going, unless something major changes I likely wont update again until just before I go under the knife, so keep well my friends.......

Oh, and if any of you have money you want to part with, there is a gofundme page a friend set up, to help with our money issues, but zero pressure, its been dead for awhile now, but it has helped.... https://www.gofundme.com/tracey-and-...cle-of-support

Not begging for money, if I wanted to do that I would have posted the link here when it came out, lol.....

[Full Bug]

Oh, I noticed someone from here donated 20.00 bucks into my gofundme thing as Anonymous, so whoever it was, thanx very much! It really is appreciated, to me the gesture means more then the money, so thank you again......

[Fairwrning]

Hang in there bug..keep up the fight

[Vinnie Velvet]

As I'm not here at the Army so much anymore, I didn't see this thread.

FB and myself go way back to the days at the Links.

Hope things are going well with the treatment brother. Get well and kick cancer in the ass.

I have been a member to this site since I was 18 years old. I am now 31. I haven't posted in a very long time, but I browse from time to time. Full Bug did something for me 10 years ago or so I wont ever forget, and it was the first and last time since it happened. I forget the circumstance, but Full Bug ended up mailing me a couple bootleg CD's of Van Halen live when I was a kid. I found his offer to do that incredibly generous. Full Bug, stay strong. My thoughts go out to you and I will never forget your generosity. Stay strong dude!

[Cato]

I'm very sorry to post this..... Our long time friend Full Bug, passed away today....

[Nickdfresh]

Farewell friend, good tidings on your journey be...

[vandeleur]

Very sad to hear .

[twonabomber]

RIP Bug.

Met Bug in Toronto in '07. I don't remember who he was talking to, but he introduced himself to the other person as Full Bug, but then he says "well not really" and told the other person his real name. Had to laugh, like any mother would name their kid Full Bug.

[Seshmeister]

RIP Bug.

This sucks thought he might get a while longer.

Hi there for those that don't know me, I am Sean's partner of 18 years. As some of you know he had been undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer and doing well. His tumour had shrunk significally and he was preparing for surgery on Tuesday. He was feeling strange this morning and we thought it was just adjusting to the new pain meds. When he became disoriented I called an ambulance. When they arrived, they said he was in cardiac arrest. They revived him a few times but am sorry to tell you that he passed away today. My heart is shattered as you can imagine. He was a loving kind man and the hole he left in my heart will never be filled."

[Hardrock69]

Rust In Pieces, Bug.

You will be missed.

Dammit. This death thing has got to stop.
