5K? I bet he was huffing and puffing.

 
shivashakti [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 08:33:45 AM  
Wow. Congrats to him! I hope he continues to be clean and sober and wish him the best of luck. I'm going to pray for him.

Seriously, whoever found and submitted this deserves a Fark Lifetime Achievement Award.

If this is a liter, post and be rewarded. I'll begin the sponsorship drive.

Now what the fark are we going to do for cliches? You're not thinking about us, Patrick.


Godspeed Patrick. Congratulations.

You shut your whore mouth. This is Fark and dammit, we DEMAND to mock and ridicule our inferiors

That nearly cost me a keyboard.

Why is this story not on Huffington Post.

/seriously, good on him for going clean

I agree, however here's hoping he can keep it going.

Good for staying sober, and good for finishing the race.

That in itself makes you outshine Sara Palin.

FTA: "In recent years, Tribett "escaped" to wooded areas in Ohio and Marshall counties. He carried paint cans to huff, beer cans to drink and sandwiches to eat. He also carried a radio."

It would be nice if they explained what the radio was for.

 
Catran 2009-11-29 08:50:22 AM  
Good Luck Patrick. We are all cheering for you!

 
Rodeodoc 2009-11-29 08:50:23 AM  
I think I have something in my eye. Shout out to those that reached out to help this guy.

 
Verlorenes Metallgeld 2009-11-29 08:50:47 AM  
Tribett said, as he sat along hillsides getting drunk and high off of fumes, he listened to the classics - Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Tribett said, after his 2005 arrest and that well-publicized mugshot, he could no longer "escape."

You know, I do the same stuff with weed and don't end up as a celebrity. Life is unfair.

 
manduwala 2009-11-29 08:50:53 AM  
I think I might have something in my eye, or it could be the glue talking.

 
Somacandra [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 08:50:57 AM  
FTFA: Tribett isn't being made fun of today.

Let's hope the reporter doesn't click on any Fark PS contests.

/"It's a trap"
//Good on 'em

 
Skail [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 08:51:54 AM  
Good god, this is awesome. Congratulations, My. Tribett, and may you continue to live a life clean and free of substance abuse. :)

Now, we must seek to find Mr. Henry Earl...

 
dajoro 2009-11-29 08:51:56 AM  
Good for him. I wish him luck. I hope we miss him for a long time.

Listenin' to stuff?

 
Glitchwerks 2009-11-29 08:52:22 AM  
Hooray! This is really nice to hear! Good luck, dude!

Maybe we can stop using him as a Photoshop cliche now.

WTF Indeed 2009-11-29 08:52:44 AM  
Stay Sober Bud.

"My" = "Mr," of course.

He looks a hell of a lot healthier and happier.
Good on him.
I almost feel bad now for all the laughs we have all had at his expense.

 
Throb Low 2009-11-29 08:54:23 AM  
What a great story. Good luck, Mr. Tribett.

 
black_knight 2009-11-29 08:54:50 AM  
Having posted that image, good luck Patrick.

That's great news. Thanks for digging this up subby.

shivashakti: Wow. Congrats to him! I hope he continues to be clean and sober and wish him the best of luck. I'm going to pray for him.

Why tell us you are going to pray for him? Why not just do it?

Markoff_Cheney: I almost feel bad now for all the laughs we have all had at his expense.

But that's what finally turned him around as I understand

 
rickythepenguin [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 08:55:53 AM  
we had fun with the cat but it seems he's made a bona fide attempt to turn his life around.

one day at a time, patrick.

 
RickInBarHarbor 2009-11-29 08:56:17 AM  
Miracles happen, I've been sober for years and see it happen all the time. Congratulations Patrick, good job! I hope to see the new photo replace the old in the photoshop contests, but this being Fark...

So you're saying we're responsible for his sobriety?

 
AliasUndercover 2009-11-29 08:56:52 AM  
Wow. That's really not easy to do. I hope it turns out OK for him.

It's times like these that I realize we're all monumental assholes, really.

Well, the noteriety got him noticed by a rehab director, but we didnt force him in or get him sober.

Maybe there is even hope for the New Orleans Looter.
