For us new guys, would someone explain the history of Tibbs, including (1) why it’s his Lavender Room, and (2) why he’s apparently MIA? Thanks for shedding some light on this enigmatic character.
he’s not missing. he posts as jon boy.
So why is it Mr. Tibbs’ Lavender room, as opposed to Joe Schmo’s Lavender Room, or whatever? Tibbs have the inside angle on all things peculiar, or what’s the deal?

I’d prefer to let others fill in the rest of the story…
He was known for posting off topic, sometime strange, posts… and lots of them.
Mr.Tibb’s was born the day someone gave him a bike. He was in need and another poster gave him a bike so he was able to go ater his tri dreams. In return, he was to post here and be entertaining. And that he was.

Those were funny. Tibbs keeps ragging on slowman to change the name to the Velvet Room.
To summarize:
Jon boy posted as Mr. Tibbs. Mr. Tibbs wanted a velvet room. Rabbits are soft like velvet. Other stuff feels soft like velvet too. Slowman made a lavender room lined with NFL back hair but no bunnies. Do be good. Don’t be bad. Tibbs never wanted a lavender room. Tibbs is the center of the thousand-petalled Lotus in our hearts.
THE Mojo Nixon…great googly moogly!
Yours truly,
Mushroom Maniac
I wanna do some sin with you, Martha Quinn.
I never got Tibbs to be honest. This whole Tibbs “Mystique” reminds me the movie “Being There” with Tibbs being Charles the gardener…
Mystique might be a little strong.
how about something along the lines of:
occasionally there arrives a persona in a forum setting, who by virtue of lots of factors which continually evolve…captures a lot of attention…sometimes by design, and other times by the nature of the beast.
I think we should get swimfan a bike.
what are you thinkin’ ?
make him *swim *for it.
Great comparison. I loved that movie.
Nah, make him gain 100 pounds for it. 
LOL! Best. Post. Ever.
AP
Yeah, then we would have to get Swimfan a Bento Box for the bike and on his 1st ride as he took a look inside the Bento Box he would see a note with his old tag line:
“BENTO BOX: Helping fatties get fatter on the bike since 1996”
I still miss Swimfan.
this was one of my posts as Sir Velo. it’s about tibbs.
