IT'S GOING TO BE SO STRANGE TO TURN ON COMP AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO ZING AND NOT SEE YOUR TOON..............YOU KNOW YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE WEENIE!!! I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST CAMMED IN ZING I SAID I WAS ON A DIET AND YOU HELD UP A PIC OF A PIZZA, FUNNY HOW LIL THINGS LIKE THAT STICK IN YOUR HEAD.
ALTHOUGH THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT NOT HAVING ZING I HOPE WE CAN STAY IN TOUCH WITH ONE ANOTHER AND MAYBE WE CAN HANG OUT AGAIN SOMEWHERE, IF NOT PLZ KEEP IN TOUCH!
WOULDNT IT BE GREAT IF BY SOME MIRACLE WE ALL HEARD ZING WILL STILL BE AROUND, THAT TO ME WOULD BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT!
HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY AND MAY ALL YOUR WISHES IN LIFE COME TRUE.

[*~ Miranda ~*]

Dave, your presence along with quite a few others was a familiar sight for me and a sense of comfort. I too enjoyed all the times we spent together and of course, your insatiable appetite as well Best of luck to you in all that you do, you deserve only GOOD things

Hugs,

IDOL, you've definately been the "Norm" of the site. To know Zing is to know that CANADIAN IDOL is usually in the happening room. As with many of us, Zing has become a chapter in my life. Many friendships were formed here, and Zing has allowed me to study the human condition from a new perspective. All of you have enriched my life and I will always have good memories. If anyone would like to add to the traffic of my modest message board, you are all welcome at The Gator's Nest.gatorsnest.com
See you all on the net!

I was soo glad I got to see you one last time. You are a wonderful person and I am honored I got the chance to meet and talk with you. I have to admit, you made me teary eyed with your words and not many can do that. You're a very special person and I hope you never change. Take care and God bless you Dave.

Well said weenie man. Dave you were my first zing buddy. We've been through alot together. You were always there for me when i needed a listening ear..and good laugh..a good cry...yes and even a great song. You will be forever in my heart and I hope forever in my life. Keep Rockin!

[Sleepless]

Idol.

It's true...what was Zing without it's members? But really, where were we, without our Weenie Mascot?

Dave, you gave us...much more than we did you. You have a gift, that way.

We'll see each other again, this much I know.

Until then, stay safe, stay warm and keep eating...

[callierose]

[HawaiianFantasy]

he has it, i made him one

[InsouciantWitch]

I am having a very hard time with this closing, and all the goodbyes make it feel like a funeral. It is difficult to accept that while zing will be gone, the zingers will go on.


Idol - as I told you in Tiki - when I first met you I thought you were a self-involved prick. I am glad you taught me to see beyond my skewed first impression.

I am amazed at the innocent humor you share with us - it is clean, like a child's. You sometimes said things that shocked me, and I waited for the butt of your joke to take offense, but it never happened. It took a while for me to see there was no malice in you, so your jokes and humor were just share enjoyment of life - and I thank you for showing me it is possible.

My absolute favorite memory of zing is the day you first found your weenie....I can still see you running up and down Tiki proclaiming "IM GONNA BE A WEENIE FOREVER".

Thanks, for your toons, and tunes, and for being such a big weenie.

Love you,

Witch

I just can't believe this is coming to an end. You all have come to mean so much to me....I never thought a chat room could have this kind of effect on me. I've met soooo many wonderful people here. I will miss all of you. I am reluctantly moving on to Virtual Ibiza as JuniperJenn. If you are there....let me know. I'm still trying to put the word out in hopes someone else will continue running Zing.

Tears are streaming down my face again....I love you all.

[Sinless]

You'll always be my favorite dawg! *huge hugs*

Zing would never have been the same without you.

I think the last time that we chatted and you expressed to me how upset you were about Zing shutting down, it finally sunk in.

I realized how much Zing meant to me because it meant so much to so many people.

I loved everything about Zing. I'll never forget all the good times I had in there.

Take care IDOL! *kotc*
