   "I had a curious dream," the Goblin King said. "I was a mortal man." "Only a man?" "Not only a man. A magnificent man." "That rings true."

   Now that their king has passed nothing can stop the goblin armies from wreaking havoc in the lands surrounding the labyrinth #rpghook

   All the snow melted last night. The Dr said I had 'walking pneumonia' so I am going to go walk in the bare woods and listen to Bowie.

   Fuck this shit. Get me a space shuttle, a priest of every religion, a unicorn horn, and some duct tape. We're going to go fetch Bowie back.

   New plan: wait three days for Bowie to return from death.

   I'll believe Bowie's dead after he's been buried upside down at a crossroads with a stake in his heart and his mouth stuffed with garlic.

   Well, Lucifer will have to step down. All hail the Goblin King! Heaven/Hell are truly glam tonight.

   "Died." Ha, right. I think we all know David Bowie just reclined magnificently on his couch and became a Force ghost.

   "They go into the arts. Because nobody in their right mind needs to tell hundreds or thousands of people what they believe." – Bowie

   I love how we all found Bowie at different times, and all met a different person. He was a Time Lord, and we were briefly his companions.

   David Bowie was the weird he wanted to see in the world. And it was beautiful.

   — Telperion (@cthulhuchick) January 11, 2016

   Every anecdote about meeting Bowie talks about how nice he was. This is good to remember: you can be nice and still be David Fucking Bowie.
