A tribute to Bean (Ben Cass)

A poem written by one of the #aryanchatters that never got to meet Ben. bean (for ben cass my friend) can i call you my friend when i never met you? it seems wrong that we share the same thoughts we want the same things in life we have the same friends you lived where i lived and i never touched you never heard your voice and now that you're gone i feel unsure can i grieve without a face or a name or a voice i can transpose on the flickering imaginations of words like a book your book and my book spelled out in front of me paths for my mind to journey will your soul still haunt our faces in the domain that is 0s and 1s im not sure but i know ill still look and im sure when we meet on the other side ill recognise you because faces and voices age quickley but hearts and minds that think alike will always find each other and now that im saying goodbye i will think of the casket and see you as i always imagined my friend and companion goodbye   (by sublime) __________________________ [19:25] <Bean> I held a cigarette the other night just to look cool. [19:26] <Bean> But then they made me give it back. __________________________ [21:46] <Bean> I walked around naked all day. [21:49] <mw_wrk> Bean: did you have a web cam running ? __________________________ [20:07] <LordBean> I don't hate anyone unless they take the time out to make me hate them. __________________________ [14:30] <Bean> If you were a triangle, what type of triangle would you be [14:30] <Bean> ? [14:30] <jUiCe> scalene [14:31] <jUiCe> definately [14:31] <Bean> I like right angled triangles. [14:31] <jUiCe> equilaterals are straight asses, and isosceles are schitzo [14:31] <Bean> They're so well constructed. [14:31] <jUiCe> they are boring [14:31] <jUiCe> BE A SCALENE LIKE ME [14:32] <Bean> True, but who will get things done when you need to build something. [14:32] <jUiCe> the boring triuangles [14:32] <Bean> Right hand triangles are far more productive. [14:32] <jUiCe> When you coming back Bean [14:32] <jUiCe> ? [14:33] *** FoXy^^ is now known as Dj_NaZty [14:33] <Bean> Well I don't know... I've kinda committed myself to going out on Friday night... And you guys are leaving Sunday...

[14:35] <jUiCe> um, no idea [14:35] <jUiCe> early i guess [14:35] <Bean> I could stay on... I mean, I still got brian and Seth as entertainment. :P __________________________ [14:49] <Bean> Don't ever correct me in public though, ok? :) __________________________ [20:52] <Bean> Hey wow. Guess Stallone's height. [20:52] <Bean> Go on, guess. [20:52] <Bean> I said guess. [20:52] <Mitsy> 5'4 [20:52] <Mitsy> I guessed! [20:53] <Bean> Keep guessing. [20:53] <Bean> Come on. [20:53] <Mitsy> Taller or shorter?? [20:53] <Ristch> Bean: Your height ? [20:54] <Bean> He's only 5'8"! I'm taller than Rambo. __________________________ [14:54] <Bean> What do I buy my parents for Christmas? [14:55] <jUiCe> after dinner nipples chocolates [14:55] <Bean> What should I really buy my parents for Christmas? __________________________ [19:17] <MrKrinkle> do you guys think I'm insanely violent?? [19:17] <Bean> MrKrinkle: Not really. Keep working at it. __________________________ [21:46] <MrKrinkle> any funny stories to tell Bean ol boy? [21:46] <Bean> No. [21:48] <Bean> Yeah I could tell you one of my war stories... [21:50] <MrKrinkle> tell ya story Bean [21:51] <Bean> The year was 1970... Charlie had already proven he would not be defeated as easily as we all first thought... Despite sending over thousands of men we were not making any real progress... [21:52] <MrKrinkle> I feel the need to put on some late 60's war songs [21:52] <Bean> We were stationed at <miscellaneous village near front line> in order to keep an eye on the VC push... [21:53] <MrKrinkle> VC's eh? [21:53] <MrKrinkle> reminds of good ol jack knife johnny! [21:53] <Error_404> You mean VD's Right? [21:53] <Bean> In order to protect ourselves from sneak attack we had to send out daily patrols into VC controlled areas... Charlie had set himself up pretty well and when an explosion went off behind my platoon it was obvious we were being led into a trap. [21:53] <MrKrinkle> he was a big bleeder! [21:53] * MrKrinkle travels back in time and tells bean to look out!! [21:54] * Error_404 travels further back in time and prevents Bean's conception [21:54] * MrKrinkle travels back intime and prevents Error_404's grand parents conception [21:54] <MrKrinkle> ehehehehehehe [21:54] <MrKrinkle> keep goin' bean [21:55] <Bean> At the time I was stuck with men I barely knew... After losing an entire company to a sneak attack a few weeks before, our new recruits were almost completely comprised of green school dropouts... Barely old enough to even know where in the world they were...[21:55] <Bean> Needless to say the surprise attack startled them... [21:56] <Bean> Charlie was all around us and the boys were scattering... [21:56] <MrKrinkle> it's hard to read your stories with the wingding font on!!!! [21:56] <Bean> I yelled at them to come back but before I knew it I was seperated from my own platoon... [21:57] <Bean> So there I was... Stuck in the Nam jungle with nothing more than a survival knife, my rifle and my wits keeping me from the brinks of insanity... [21:59] <MrKrinkle> ehehehehehe [21:59] <MrKrinkle> this is a good story [21:59] <Bean> Surrender was not an option! We'd all seen what happened to our brothers on North Vietnam TV... Charlie's threat, "We can keep you forever" still echos in my mind today... [21:59] <MrKrinkle> did you go on the log ride when you were there bean?? [22:00] <Bean> I pressed myself up against a tree, barely daring to breath... [22:00] <Error_404> Ooo! I'm aroused [22:00] <MrKrinkle> well a tree's kinda like a log ride!! [22:01] <Bean> I could hear them... Smell them... The chattering of their language meant nothing to me but it was obvious they were pleased with the slaughter of my friends... [22:01] *** FoXy^ (~kpwrig@058.0104.wlg.iprimus.net.au) has left #aryanchat [22:01] *** Ristch is now known as Charlie [22:01] * Charlie ambushes Bean [22:01] * Charlie skins Bean alive and hangs him from a tree [22:02] <MrKrinkle> no that's predator!! [22:02] *** MrKrinkle is now known as predator [22:02] <Bean> I realised my own time was up... if i was going to go down, I was sure as hell going to take a stack of them with me... I prepared myself for the oncoming storm and propped myself up to get a clear shot through the high scrub... [22:02] * Charlie wanders off laughing to themselves [22:02] * predator grabs all of Bean's friends and skins them for trophies [22:02] *** Charlie is now known as Ristch [22:02] *** predator is now known as MrKrinkle [22:03] <Bean> Then to my horror I realised how desperate my situation was... [22:04] <Bean> My rifle was useless... In the desperation moments previously a bullet had richocheted off the side of the barrel leaving it worthless to me for anything but blowing my own face off...  [22:05] <Bean> But I still had my knife... [22:05] <Bean> I waited... [22:05] <Bean> I listened... [22:06] <Bean> Then it came... Dozens of them... Walking inches infront of my face... Chatting with one another like nothing had happened... Human life meant nothing to these communist bastards. [22:06] <MrKrinkle> he's been listening for awhile [22:06] <MrKrinkle> is he dead? [22:07] <Bean> I took the knife in my right hand and waited an eternity until the last of them passed me... By a miracle I hadn't been noticed... The time had come to take action... [22:08] <DrLecter> Bean:  You might wanna try that M16 strapped to your back. [22:10] <Bean> I dived out of the bushes screaming! Charlie spotted me immediately but that was my intention... Now confused themselves I dived onto the slowest walker and plunged my blade into his side... It amazes me now what little resentment I showed for him... Whilst he screamed and died infront of me I experienced less pity th [22:10] <Bean> an I would for killing a rabid dog... These people were sick in mind as well as soul and the world would be better without them. [22:11] * MrKrinkle lives in happy land without communists [22:11] <Bean> I stripped him of his gun as the rest of the patrol struggled for cover, not yet willing to open fire whilst I held their still dying comrade... [22:11] <Ristch> That's a cool line "For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son" [22:12] <MrKrinkle> where's that? [22:12] <Ristch> "What is democracy ? Got something to do with young men killing each other I believe" [22:12] <Bean> But I had not counted on the VC barbarian behind me! [22:12] <Bean> He came from nowhere! [22:12] <Bean> Screaming his uncivilised communist brainwashings as he ran towards me gun fixed to fire! [22:13] <Bean> Without time for clear thought, I flung my knife at his speeding body, praying my aim would be true. [22:14] <Bean> The knife plunged into his heart stopping him dead in his tracks, his bullets only firing harmlessly into the air... [22:15] <Bean> I spun around to his startled comrades and killed every last one of them, filling them so full of bullets they'd never be identified by their own mothers... [22:15] * MrKrinkle decides to drink half a bottle of cooking sherry [22:15] <Bean> All the time skillfully diving out of the way of their own fire... [22:15] * MrKrinkle get's pissed over a period of 5 seconds [22:15] * Error_404 decides to drink half a bottle of Arsenic... Hmm - Bitter. [22:16] <Ristch> Bean: Errrm, where'd you get the working gun ? [22:16] * MrKrinkle projectile vomits and screams obscenities [22:16] <Bean> Ristch: I stole it off the first soldier I stabbed. Didn't I write that? Sorry, all that agent orange got into my mind a bit. [22:16] <Ristch> Bean: Ah, ok. I thought you might have caught one of the ones I threw you [22:17] <Bean> When I got back to base I learnt of the tragedy of the rest of my men... 22:18] <Bean> All having been captured or slaughtered by the merciless VC army... [22:18] <Ristch> Bean: You'd better go rescue them [22:19] <Bean> When we were finally withdrawn from Nam, I expected to return to a nation of respect... [22:19] * MrKrinkle vomits the gag out and starts to strip [22:19] <MrKrinkle> eh fuckyou [22:19] <Bean> But where were you bastards when I got off the plane? [22:19] <MrKrinkle> FUCKYOUANDYOUANDYOUALLSIXMILLIONOFYOU!!!! [22:19] <Bean> I got spat on, called a baby killer... [22:19] <Bean> But none of you were there! [22:19] <Bean> You didn't know what it was like! [22:19] <Bean> Who are you to tell me what it was like! [22:19] <Bean> I was there! [22:19] * Bean breaks down [22:20] <Bean> (this has been another of Bean's war flashbacks that may or may not have really happened...) ___________________________ [20:45] <LordBean> Anyone want a jube? I picked up some lollies from Santa at a christmas party yesterday. [20:46] <LordBean> Sorry to destroy your childhood fantasies but they're just dirty old men in suits. ___________________________ [20:59] * LordBean has been in the same clothes for around 30 hours now. [20:59] <LordBean> These socks are going to have to be removed with a scalpel. ___________________________ [19:11] <Bean> DrLecter: My brother hates Metallica. [19:11] <Bean> DrLecter: I no longer know what to think about anything anymore. [19:11] <Bean> DrLecter: I can't disagree with my brother. [19:12] <Bean> jUiCe: You don't understand! I worship my brother! Anything he says I take as being the opinion of an expert. ___________________________ [18:10] <jUiCe> make me a poem [18:12] <Bean> Sorry. I'm really bad at this. [18:12] <Bean> Ask me 6 years ago. [18:12] <Bean> I used to write a lot of poems when I was little. [18:13] <jUiCe> ok, ben, what would you have written 6 yrs ago? [18:13] <Bean> I had a dog, his name was Rover. [18:13] <Bean> That was until he got run over.                 Good bye Bean, we'll miss you.
