The Midas Petition

Monkeys, thank God it’s Friday, and today I want to talk about a writer who is near and dear to many of our simian hearts, and my sentiments are perfectly expressed by the following three words:

Midas, come back!

I, and many others, miss your frequently inflammatory posts, your verbal slaughtering of sacred cows, your outspoken viewpoints, your hilarious drinking stories, your trademark Guy Fawkes mask on NSFW, and your thinly veiled sexual references. My personal favorites were your posts during last year’s Man Week , the Thanksgiving party story, and of course, "Back To Life."

Even though many disagreed with your posts, your comments always challenged us and made us think, and you unapologetically take an axe to the weak points in any philosophy, no doubt before cackling maniacally and cracking open a Russian Imperial Stout. Much like the late Christopher Hitchens, you do all those things with scathing wit and gleeful abandon.

In all seriousness Midas, you’re in an important part of the community here, and reading your posts is an exercise in intellectual stimulation. Please, return to WSO with your writing, or at least provide an update for those of us who wonder what you’re doing, where you’re at, and of course, how much you’re winning.

If you support the return of Midas Mulligan Magoo to WSO, sign below!

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 
TheKingComparing him to Hitchens is a complete disgrace. The dude wrote apocryphal stories about beating the shit out of his friend for no reason (amongst other things).

Completely agree.

 

Signing it for Swagon:

"Yo who dis Midas fool and do he got SWAAAAAAAAAGGGG?!"

Nothing short of everything will really do.
 
Edmundo BravermanYou guys have no clue what it was like putting NSFW together. Working with Midas is like herding cats. Cats you get drunk and sodomize when you think no one is looking.

hahahah

Eddie, I get nostalgic sometimes and search violently through WSO to find old NSFW. IF midas doesn't come back you should start a rant segment... like Dennis Miller style

 

Get off his jock, brah!

JK, I do miss some of his antics.....

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.
 

Eddie, I can imagine it. He was telling me about how hard it was to do NSFW from a production standpoint. Add in his personality (and if he's reading this, he knows I say this with respect), and it can make for an interesting process.

Ant, I haven't spoken to the man in a while, but I don't doubt that he's busy as fuck. His new gig is pretty insane from what he was telling me.

 

Yeah, I was in the room when one of the NSFW was being filmed and it is not easy at all. I spoke with him a little while ago and he is just swamped. I hope things ease off and he can post again.

 

c'mon guys, i bet you much like Brady he never even left...just started over with a new profile. hell, hes probably in this thread rit now

For the love of all things good and right. Do not put Brady and Midas in the same sentence

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

WSO is not WSO without MIDAS just like it wouldn't be WSO without Braverman...these guys should be in WSO HALL OF FAME!!!

Do what you want not what you can!
 

Imagine if he just walks into the conference in the middle of a speaker? The entire room would give him a standing ovation.
