"if he is 26, then he's been hitting the turps hard for a long long time"
Poor damo8. Nobody on all of Austnet could have predicted this tragic event, a life full of joy and Victoria bitter cut bitterly short. Damo8 was not a popular man yet he did have many many partners in alcoholism. Each and every weekend would become a religious ritual of pure intoxication funded entirely by damo8, a true aussie always shouts his mates some grog.
A valuable community member, damo8 not only put in twelve hour days down at the local Corio Village Bowling hangout, he also became a volunteer firefighter for the sole purpose of saving cats from high up in tree's and putting out some small insignificant fires. His childhood dream and life purpose had at least been fulfilled.
Everyong is still searching for answers as to why he took his own life in such a way, only part of the truth is beginning to come forth. Damo8 used to be a channel operator on #geelong, au.austnet.org for many long years, again we find he is always commited to the job at hand. He would stay up late into the night banning "bad hosts" and other lamers from the important channel business.
Its even noted that he engineered a mIRC script to do the work for him. He would leave his computer on overnight to ban all the baddies, his power bill increased dramatically but this didnt phase him whatsoever, he was doing the community a good service.
So far from what we know, there was a massive argument with one of the regular channel trolls, namely b1rd or "jase" over damo8's double chin and some questions of his status and loyalty to living in his local Ghetto. Apparently b1rd was trying to talk some sense into him and encourage a move to a better suburb or even out of geelong altogether. At this, damo8 exploded into a fury never before witnessed online, ever! Such was his anger that he even customized an Elite mIRC script(LOL!) to ban b1rd's entire ISP and to re-set the ban if another higher operator would rightfully remove the ban.
Years of a quiet submissive personality had finally been unravelled to show the real damo8, an angry fat man. angry because of his premature ageing, angry because nobody rally liked him (they just hung arond with him for free booze), and angry most of all because everyone at work teases him for being a fat geek.
Eventually a saint of an operator came along and gave damo8 the ultimatum of either removing the ban or himself being bannished from the #geelong cult and removed from the access list. This was the last straw and he couldnt take anymore! Damo8's pride of his hometown Corio (pronounced KORR-EYE-AHH) was his most stauch ally and this being questioned was akin to destroying his entire brain with a cocktail of neuroleptic drugs. His double chin was a very sensitive issue for him and could set him up for a couple weeks of depression requiring plenty of slabs of beer to cure.
"As you can see here, the double chin gene is in full force from a very early age..."
"also note the big round head, characteristic in the lower class bogan native to Corio and Norlane"
Poor damo8 took his own life right after he realised he couldnt handle either choice of the ultimatum. There was just no way he could leave IRC or his access to his beloved home channel, yet he couldnt tolerate the amount of truth coming out of jase's mouth. Jase finished him off by noting that he only worked 2 days a week and earned more than he did in 80 hours of franticly hard blue collar work. it was too much for him. He ripped out his power cable from his monitor and his computer and tied them together and strung himself up and did the deed. Poor damo8. Rest In Peace, such a waste of a lower class life.
"corio in 1982, his parents were so poor they couldnt afford a pram so they wacked him in the old rusty mulitpurpose barra!"
"learning the ropes of the bogan lifestyle, hard labour."
"destined to be a great worker, the first in his family line to be emlpoyed!"
"He liked to work hard and play hard, and it tended to show. Damo8 was a hard man, he probably would of died of a heart attack a few years later anyway."
"Face full of pride doing what he loved, saving cats from tree's. Ugliness only comparable to people like Kerry Packer. However it was what was inside that counted in the end: manly rage."
"We all know the true measure of success in bogan corio is a ute, and he finally got there. Onya' damo mate, whered ya put your beers.."
