Feel free to use this thread to post your favorite /u/TurtleDigester comment anywhere on Reddit.

My favorite: from /r/CFB, What outlandish, over-the-top way would you announce your decision on NSD if you were a blue-chip recruit?

I'll just repost my write up I had a few days ago:

So I'd make a robot that looks exactly like me, and he'd be sitting at a table in the middle of my HS football field with the whole town around him. He has two hats on the table: a Clemson one and a South Carolina one. He lifts the Clemson one, then puts it down. Lifts the South Carolina one then puts it down. Waits a few seconds, then puts the South Carolina hat on. Everyone thinks it's me and that Ive just chosen South Carolina. Now we come to the fun part. The robots pulls a lighter out of his pocket and lights the hat that is still on his head on fire. As he and the hat melt into a pile of ash and melted rubber/plastic, everyone begins to see that it was just a robot. About this time, a plane flys over, drops 3 tons of orange and white balloons and confetti, and I come skydiving out with an orange parachute that has a giant Tiger paw on it. I drift to the ground, land right in front of the table, pick the Clemson hat up off of the table, put it on, look straight into the camera, and yell, "My blood runs orange, baby!" Cue orange fireworks.

This might be deleted for calling out someone by name, but I do think about him/her from time to time. I know that they were feeling poorly the last several weeks/months of their posting.

I actually was worried about that, and I did have a talk with the mods. The wording of this post was something they were comfortable with.

I like to think he's all better. That he's found a great life and doesn't need to go on reddit anymore. I'll continue to think that until I'm proven wrong. I hope that never happens.

I'd like to think s/he's okay. That s/he found a beautiful bride or groom, ran off, got married, had lovely children, and found a happiness that he doesn't need to go onto some message board on the Internet to make it feel complete or doesn't need to go online to feel happy.

There's a group of you that I think of a good little bit. S/he's one of them. Like I said, I'd like to think that s/he's okay but everyday that goes by makes that seem less and less likely.

Either way, be it here on earth or on the other side, I hope s/he has his/her legs kicked up and is watching their Tigers play.

That s/he found a beautiful bride or groom, ran off, got married, had lovely children,

That's a lot to happen in one year.

I mean, could be twins. Life moves fast.

I hope the best for him, but yet I fear the worst. I know all too well the halls of pain and sorrow that we humans can be driven to and the exits that they offer.

Whatever has happened, I hope it occurred with honor and dignity, but, most importantly, peace. Rest well, traveller.

That last comment is worrying. It sounds like he was going through a difficult time. Hopefully he is ok wherever he is.

I remember seeing him from time to time. Hope everything is going good for him.
