I’m worried about Ernst...

He probably used to post when his 7'8" husband was at work.

Dead

She was in a car accident. Probably had a concussion and died.

DIED!

Leave him alone.

Still alive. Just keeping a low profile.

Afraid of the Coronavirus, eh Ernst?

I also noticed and miss you, too, Ernst!

His giant husband sat on him by mistake. He is healing up.

Is the boyfriend an oversized gorilla who has no business flying coach?

That’s my favorite insult directed to me, on DataLounge so far.

Erna is still trying to make herself happen as "Ernst."

Sad.

R10 why do you say that?

Erna is not Ernst. I started calling him Ernst, and then it stuck.

Still alive. I do have a cold, but I am confident it is not the Coronavirus.

Hi, Ernst!

Hey, Christmas Moose! I’m glad the World Health Organization said Coronavirus can’t be transmitted to dogs, I’m assuming the same is true for Moose?

I’m as strong as a horse, Ernst! Thanks for asking, 💕. I read that a man and his dog both tested positive. I think we need more time and tests to know what’s true.

Nobody at the zoo is sick, though Giselle the Gazelle is depressed (as usual). I hope the humans here at the zoo don’t get sick, I’ve grown fond of them. Work here is very slow. You know I’m the head Docent here, right!? It’s a very prestigious job. I also go around before opening and make sure everybody is ready for showtime. I need the work off-season to take care of mother.

I blocked that asshole months ago.

Good to hear it, Christmas Moose. The local zoo here is shutting down portions of their operation. Hopefully your duties as docent are not impacted.

Ernst . . .

Erna . . . .

Think about it.

Ward, I’m worried about the Beaver...

I'm praying for you and your puny cocklet Ernst. Stay safe.

R19, let me put an end to this nonsense right now. I started calling our new friend “Ernest” because his posts were so “Earnest”. Then I said he could go by “Ernst” if he wanted to butch it up a bit. I told him he didn’t want Muriel to give him a name like “bootsie-gumdrop”, (no offense, Bootsie.) Shortly thereafter, he started posting with his new authenticated name of “Ernst”. This has nothing to do with Erna, so just stop this nonsense right now!

[quote]This has nothing to do with Erna, so just stop this nonsense right now!

Yeah it does.

No it isn’t, bub!

Hi Ernst, how’re things?

Hope he nor his husbaer has the rona

Is dying mundane?

Every so often I see anonymous posts that sound like him.

This thread is so meta the head spins.

Hi, R25.

I’m doing well. I have gotten into more of a routine that makes the days much more bearable.

R26, we are both clear. We got out today and walked around our neighborhood with Buddy. It’s the first I’ve really been out in a while.

Is “Buddy” your moose?

Unfortunately no, FOCM. Buddy is my dog. His birthday is next week!

Aww, happy birthday, Buddy!

God you named you dog Buddy? How boring can you be Ernst?

Sorry you don’t approve, R35. The good news is, I don’t actually give a fuck.

Ernst, fuck r35. Fuck him right in the ass. Use your mace.

Wow. Did Ernst just use the F word? Our sweet, caring Ernst? I cannot believe it.

I'm still here, everyone! And, did ya know, used to castrate hogs?

^Sorry, my kind subjects, there is no "I" in castrate.

Anyone? My hair? Isn't it just ME?

Ernst, why haven’t we heard from you? What have you been doing?

Hi Pierre.

So I took my old teaching job back as an online instructor and I’ve been busy closing out the school year. I forgot how much work it would be.

Oh, no, Ernst, you didn’t move back did you? I thought you found a forever home?

If you didn’t move, then this is a good thing, right? No more under-appreciated driver? And you get some structure and money, and feel like you’re contributing more, right?

I’m not dead! I’m not dead!

Hi R44. No, I did not move back.

The person who filled my position when I left didn’t have a great year. When the district I worked for went to online learning he quit. They called and asked if I would finish out the year since my MN license was still valid, so I did. It was really rewarding to do it, I had a lot of the same students as I had in the past so it was cool to reconnect with them.

I'll believe it when there is an official DEAD TO ME thread with accompanying link to Daily Mail.
