Trying as best as I can not to sound like an ungrateful douchebag, but...

Did Shiver retire from baiting, or from publishing his baits? I haven't seen any from him in a while.

This has surely been posted before, but I couldn't find anything when I searched.

We have not seen much of him since his gender reassignment.

The offical police report was that he choked to death on his own vomit, but then again it could have been anyone's vomit. You can't really dust for vomit.

Too bad to, as he had just gotten a sweet gig as a drummer for a well-known rock band.

Shiver did retire - but mostly just from the day-to-day work. He still believes in baiting and the work that's done here, and you'll see him pop his head in occasionally!

...having successfully transformed himself into pure Energy after his last published bait.

I heard he gave up baiting, became a single mother and gave birth to octuplets.

Last I heard, he was dragging a trunk box through the sand in Iraq towards the Saudi border....

He is currently serving as an advisor in Somalia.

Some say he was kidnapped by the Gomer Bois, and forced to divulge the whereabouts of all the trunkboxes,

Others say he ran off with a Somali Princess and her fathers secret 15million US fund.

All we know is, Jeremy Clarkson calls him The Stig

I can already tell that this thread is about to get really, really silly.

Who is Shiver Metimbers? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Lotta tell it, anybody could have worked for Shiver. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

I've been wiring him money for some time now. We're working on a hush-hush currency repatriation program for the Chief Banking Minister in Benin. I'd say more but I don't want to risk the operation.

Shiver tells everyone to "remain bless". So, don't worry about him.

Please, this is a serious conjecture about the man (or woman). As I understand it he, or she, changed his, or her, name to Loretta and sells wolf nipple chips at the local stadium.

Edit: That may be a tad too obscure for our younger members. Here is a helpful link. Click

Shiver is like the Sand<strike>man</strike>person, You never see him/her, but you KNOW s/he has been there...

edited to add link and further obscure the gender of Shiv

I heard a rumor that Shiver became a Sherpa and starved to death when he got lost in the Himalayas. I said he was a Sherpa. I didn't say he was a very good Sherpa.

No,no,no, that's not Shiver Metimbers, that's Sinterklaas.

Then again, it may be the same person after all..

Isn't this Shiver?

Legend has it that the Shiver appears every 19th lunar month around the time of the first quarter, dangling from the buckle of Orions belt and giving the finger to NASA.

Shiver is an enigma wrapped in a mystery enveloped in a puzzle.

Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:59 pm

I heard he changed his name to Waldo. No one's been able to find him since.

Some say he died and was reincarnated into a higher form of life, a great white whale. There are reports of sinkings of pirate ships by this white whale, who is of course, immune to the political aspects of his actions.

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 5727

^^^ True. Shiver the Whale sank so many P4arcel Dir3ct shipments that the company had to go out of business. For some reason Shiver the Whale hates P4rcel Dir3ct.

I hear Shivers is being hired by Nato to help patrol the Somali coast and sink pirates.....

I heard that Shiver made so much money in the wash-wash circuit that he has retired. He now spends his day as a consultant for the airline industry.

Current topic of study, is the relative speed of both the African Swallow, and the European Swallow.

I've got Shiver chained in my basement.

When he's good I let him watch pirate movies. When he's bad I make him watch the Shopping Channel during craft hour. He's developed quite a serious adverse reaction to the word "decoupage".

Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:22 pm

Please don't wake him up. He's like the sleeping dragon guarding his golden horde.
