Oh no!!!!

:-(

Now MetaChat will need a new stick insect mascot.

(Is anyone else only seeing really, really tiny thumbnails of the rest of those images?)

(I made the thumbnails tiny on purpose so the page wouldn't take forever to load)

Alas, poor Sticky. She was an insect of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?

Awww, poor sticky. He ( she? ) was the stickiest.

I may not have always liked his schtick, but I admired his sticktoitiveness. Rest in one long piece.

RIP, Sticky.

Your title photo feels a bit like Manet's Dead Toreador.

Oh no!

But arsey made me laugh so much my desk mate gave me a sideways glance.

RIP, Sticky.

Friggin-a, arse_hat, it's not appropriate for me to laugh this much at a memorial thread.
Also, why is the photo in the main link included in the Food & Drink Flickr set? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH STICKY??!

Stupid flickr app only! I did not cook Sticky!
