(1) Denial: Why are you hiding teh codez from us, my precious?
(2) Bargaining: Many eyes make problems trivial. Join us!
(3) Depression: We want to make the world better, and nobody is listening to us!
(4) Anger: Nobody is listening to us! I’ll troll-bomb the Net!

Astute readers of Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross will notice two things. I’ve got the stages in the wrong order, because, as with everything else, the Loons have got the stages in the wrong order. I’ve also missed out what is possibly the most critical stage:

(5) Acceptance: “This final stage comes with peace and understanding of the death that is approaching. Generally, the person in the fifth stage will want to be left alone. Additionally, feelings and physical pain may be non-existent. This stage has also been described as the end of the dying struggle.”

I’ll look forward to that one.

Five carefully chosen TMs to match. Bonus points if you can figure out which is which.
