Pierre, is he ok?

The thing about Pierre is his decency, most of us here are most indecent. But Pierre is another sort, and he writes like a dream.

Oh c’mon, somebody must have something to say besides me.

Pierre, please check in!

How can I respond to his threads, it’s like waltzing alone.

^I should say, how can I resond NOW, it’s like waltzing alone.

Come dance the lindl with me, Pierre.

His last post appears to have been on December 5.

Only our Pierre could discuss whale oil lamps, r5.

Excuse I meant r6 ^

I like Pierre but I always thought he lived a fantasy life in France. Not that there's anything wrong with that, we all live (at least partial) fantasy lives on DL. Maybe he's living his dream life as Dan Levy's partner.

Doesn't he live near Boston?

Yes,, r10. Pierre is Bavarian American according to his Uncle Günther and grandfather Otto.

Pierre, where are you?

Are you posters the mushroom microdosers?

Pierre last posted to his Monday Morning Moos at r112 from the “Moo with a Mask, Please” thread,, December 10. Muriel won’t link.

I’m worried. Someone check Suffolk County death records.

I'm one of the microdosers but today I took a big dose and I just now saw this thread and now I am worried. Pierre was so charitable to reply many times in my Jury Duty thread earlier this year.

This fucking year, man.

Perhaps Randolf finally killed him? Perhaps the Moose assisted?

[quote] Also, no Monday Morning Moo’s.

What does the Moo possess?

Pierre bump!

R9, you’re thinking of Frenchy. Pierre lives here.

I don't know him really, but searched this NY site for Newsday obituaries and no one named Pierre showed up.

R20 Now I'm confused. I thought I was following Pierre - who loved Dan Levy - but maybe it was Frenchy?

Wasnt Pierre from RI?

oH, she is fine OP, I'm sure she is trolling for unmentionables in P-town or somewhere sleazy, like Hell's Kitchen.

Pierre wellness check bump

Christmas without the Christmas Moose, it’s a lonely feeling.

What is going on in those “moo” threads? I’m so confused.

Ethel to Pierre...

Is Pierre really the Christmas Moose? If so, he’s so damn lovable! He’s replied to me with some of the sweetest, cutest, kindest things in the past.

We miss you Pierre!

Pierre is the Christmas Moose, the OP and host of Monday Morning Moos and The Evening Punctuationist. And yes, he is damned lovable, r29

If we post in his threads that he started, maybe he’ll notice his thread watcher has replies.

I hope Pierre is ok - he is very sweet and seems like a good son to his elderly parents.

Pierre, please check in! We miss you.

Hopefully he's off somewhere getting lucky...

Maybe he's busy enjoying a quiet Christmas in real life?

MOO!

Can’t Muriel check on people since she’s the one with our email addresses?

Yes OP, it IS unfathomable that someone wants a break from this vile pit of trollery

Where are you, Pierre?

There might have been a sighting at r128 on the thread below. It’s just not definite, but sounds a little like his writing style.

Pierre, we’ve been calling for days. Make yourself known, please.

Where is Pierre? Is he safe? Is he alright?

R39, per the ignore-dar trick, that person at #128 is actually the OP of this thread, not Pierre.

No, you're mistaken, r41. I’m the OP and also r39 here, but I am not r128 on the MOO thread. However I AM r129 on the Moo thread.

Maybe you troll-darred the wrong reply by accident.

I am R128 of the Moo thread. I am neither Pierre nor the OP of this thread. I’ve posted several times in this thread; however, I wouldn’t have placed an apostrophe in “Moo’s” at the OP. Pierre and I share a similar sense of humor and, to an extent, writing style. Thus I’ve been attracted to and posting on his threads for years.

Thanks, r43, for clearing that up.

You're right guys, sorry, I got R43 et al. confused with the OP. I think when I tried the ignore trick, it also included the top post of this thread, or maybe I just got the MOO thread confused with the Moo thread.

So did he have the Rona or what?

Pierre had said he had pneumonia three times in 4 or 5 months. He had been posting a lot less at that time.

Now, nothing.

Pierre was posting a lot in the Coronavirus threads for a while. He is missed there, too.

Pierre, as “Gertie,” talks of his pneumonia at r156 and r172 at the link below.

This dates back to August, but his health has been an issue ever since.

I miss Pierre's puckish humor. He's been very nice to me over the years, even though he doesn't actually know me.

Was Pierre Christmas Moose and Friend of Christmas Moose?

R51, Yes, I believe so (and a number of other characters).

Pierre is also the Christmas Otter, the darker side of Christmas Moose.

r52 I always liked him, hopefully he's just in the hospital or something not too serious and will post when he gets better.

I hope he's okay. I enjoy his posts.

[quote] Pierre is also the Christmas Otter, the darker side of Christmas Moose.

It’s the Thanksgiving Otter who is the dark side of the Christmas Mouse (R.I.P.).

Puckish is a great word to describe Pierre, r50.

He’s also unflappably affable and a good egg, deliberately so. The man can stare down a negative poster and respond with a surprising affability, only to turn the thread toward his puckish ideal.

He’s just sweet and can turn a troll over with his kindness and smarts.

I'm getting worried about our lovely Pierre.

RIP Datalounges new angel in heaven

¿Donde esta Pierre?

Miss you buddy, wish you would check in.

Whatever you’re going through right now, I hope it’s short so you can come back and spread your good cheer here. It looks more and more like you got really sick, after your pneumonia. I hope you wake up from it only to see how many DLers care about you.

Pierre, can be sick and then turn it around and survive. We dont have to think he’s gone or leaving.

Sorry for the comma above and I salute The Evening Punctuationist.

It's hard to compete between Pierre and the recently deceased Dawn Wells of Gilligan’s Island, but when it comes down to it, I will choose the sweet absurdity of Pierre’s sense of humor over my beloved Mary Ann everyday.

Pierre, you win over Dawn Wells!

Bump for Pierre

This is so whelming.

Has anyone checked Legacy?

^ there are a few Pierres who passed away the last few weeks...

We don’t even know if that’s his real name...

We know he just turned 60 on October 5.

We lnow he lives in or right alongside of Boston, and that he grew up in southeast CT.

We know he had a relative either on death row or in prison for life.

We know he invited birds to his rooftop.

We know he was planning to spend Christmas with a couple of other friends , low key. Damned of I can remember what his issue was with cooking dinner.

We know his sister works for the phone company, ATT.

I located his FB page several years back: some of the photos of his rooftop garden and birds match. Anyway, his sister posted on her FB that he died on December 16. I'm very scared of doxxing anyone, especially if I'm wrong. He was very nice to me over the years, and I'll miss him very much.

Condolences, DL.

Oh my god, he died? Please don’t let it be true.

Thank you, r73. Can you tell us more without doxxing? Thank you.

But he’s only 60 😪

That’s AWFUL. 😭

💔

What a loss

Here's a post of his from 2016 wishing his friends and family a Christmas Moose. I really only knew him from chatting with him here on DL, but he was close to his family. His name was David (nickname Gerry), and he posted the same sorts of things on FB that he did on DL: bears and cardinals and historic monuments (and politics, of course). It's a huge loss for his family IRL and here on DL.

A true gentleman

what happened,,why did he die, r80. Thank you for helpimg.

May his memory be a blessing.

R82, We know he was suffering with pulmonary problems from his posts on DL, so I would assume it was COVID unless/until his family posts updates, which I don't think is likely.

We’ve lost a good man tonight.

Oh no, heartbreaking. He was very kind to me and to others. I'll miss his posts.

Love to David and thanks for all of it, you are truly unforgettable.

[quote] Has anyone checked Legacy?

Legacy the old DL format?

This is very sad. Can we send condolences somewhere, to his family? How does that work with an anonymous board? I thought he was so sweet.

Casiraghi?

I would like to send a card, too, r89.

I don’t want to doxx anyone either, but if he lived in Rhode Island, his obituary is findable in Legacy.com. If you look for David as the first name and deaths the last two weeks, he shows up (I think). Since this is in the public, I’m posting it here, but please be warned—it could be a random stranger!

Can anyone explain the moose and moo threads in a few sentences. I always saw them but it seemed like an inside joke.

That’s not him R92. I found him on FB by searching the words in the photo at R80 and filtering by the year.

Ok thanks r92. A lot of the traits matched up, so figured it might be.

Thanks though, r95

He was my favorite poster on DL. I’ll miss him a lot.

It was no Christmas without his Christmas Moose. He will be missed.

He was a lovely man.

Oh noooo.

I share your grief, r97. He was my favorite poster,too.

I am Phyllis, Homer, Jane Pauley and others from the Moo thread. We are left heartbroken.

He had a twin sister.

This is so sad. He was so very kind. I most remember his posts on historical threads -- he knew his stuff!

He helped me pick out an air conditioner by the size of my room, he was so generous with his knowledge. What a sweet guy.

[quote] He had a twin sister.

Sister! So he had a twin sister.

I believe his brother-in-law is K. C. Armstrong, who used to be part of Howard Stern’s crew.

His last post was “ , And if f be” on Facebook on Dec 12th . Not sure that it means. RIP

I am Carl from the Moo thread and I thank you, David. I’ll really miss you.

The love for Pierre, I don't get it. He's annoying and an alarmist sometimes. However, I do hope he is OK.

He’s dead, Jim at R109.

When did he catch COVID ? Was he a covid long hauler ?

Sorry for the misinformation. KC Armstrong is his nephew.

Our state capitol is open for business and healthy as ever!

What happened? Pierre was scared to leave the house. Did he get COVID? How do you know it's him?

OMG, I sent a FB condolence message to the daughter of the guy at r92 with a link to this thread and other "Pierre" threads!

You mis-outed a dead man, R115?

I don’t think that is appropriate. Even if it is the right Pierre. Jesus dude. Have some boundaries.

For a minute, I thought our Pierre was Pierre Cardin because of the unfortunate timing.

Now we know it wasn’t Mitt Romney.

I saw the poll stating we'd lost him, then saw this thread. That's horrible! He was a kind man. RIP Pierre

Poll? Will you please link, r120?

Thanks

Aww, he would sometimes be the only one to comment on some of my failed threads. RIP, sweet man.

R121, for you

Could somebody please explain the moose thing. I never got it.

Thanks.

But you got the cow thing?

r124 He was a good and kind Moose, not much else to get.

R94, can you give me another hint? I've searched some of those words and can't find anything. Thanks.

Was he cut?

Rest In Peace, Pierre.

While I didn’t “know” know him, I also don’t particularly recall a lot of interaction with him, it hits home when we lose one of our DL family.

Per his sister-

[quote] Donations in Dave’s memory can be made to the Kelsey S. Harrington Foundation, a foundation honoring Dave’s beloved niece.

RIP, Moose.

RIP Pierre. Such sad news.

RIP Pierre 😢

It is really confirmed? RIP. He's the one authenticated DLer who I thought was always very sensible and honest with his posts. And I believed he really hated Drumpf. sad he wont be able to see him officially unseated.

This is just awful.

I never understood the Moose/Mouse thing, and no one ever explains it.

[quote] OMG, I sent a FB condolence message to the daughter of the guy at [R92] with a link to this thread and other "Pierre" threads!

Ffs, R115. I hope you’ve retracted that message and explained that you were mistaken.

^ I was joking. 🙄

[quote] I located his FB page several years back: some of the photos of his rooftop garden and birds match. Anyway, his sister posted on her FB that he died on December 16. I'm very scared of doxxing anyone, especially if I'm wrong. He was very nice to me over the years, and I'll miss him very much.

R73 Oh no 🥺. If so, may he Rest In Peace and forever commune with the birds, riding on and just above the winds of change that we are all buffeted about by.

May his soul be joined with the ever present and all-encompassing light that gives, guides, and guards us all.

🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

R107, I took that to mean, “If I be lifted up” from John 12:32, but how would I know?

It saddens me to think that was what he meant, as that would mean he had a sense the end was near. I sincerely hope that he did not suffer at the end.

RIP, Pierre

If there’s a Giant Data Lounge in the Sky, I hope to see you there someday, Pierre. 💕 ❤️

Wow, he definitely was a real deal Datalounger. One of the posts mentioned an epic time in P-Town! RIP Pierre.

[quote] If there’s a Giant Data Lounge in the Sky, I hope to see you there someday, Pierre.

Save us all a thread, pal.

I'm saddened to hear he passed away. We like our anonymity, but sometimes it has its downfall.

Thank you so much R130. That was very kind of you. What a very sad year this has been.

[quote]If there’s a Giant Data Lounge in the Sky, I hope to see you there someday, Pierre.

First our lovely Brian and now our sweet, funny Pierre. What a horrible, heartbreaking year this has been.

Don't forget Erna! He's supposedly gone as well!

RIP!

R146, it really has been horrible. I’m just thinking how awesome 2020 NYE was, and how we’ve come to here.

I wonder if Brian and Pierre ever interacted with one another.

Who was Brian? The Thanksgiving Squirrel?

Brian was the poster who had tongue cancer, R151. He was a talented artist, a kind poster, and became a DL fave, just like Pierre.

What a horrible year.

How do you know something happend to Brian? That wasn’t anywhere in his threads.

It's in his last thread, R154.

Maybe you missed the last thread. His obit is at R74.

Thanks, r157. I was searching as well. What a special person he was.

RIP Pierre and Brian. 😢

What a sad, horrible year. I miss Brian and Pierre. Christmas here on DL just wasn't the same without updates from the Moose.

Why does it have to be the good DLers? Why not the really cunty ones? I hope Dave and Brian are having a glass of wine talking about art, animals and having a beautiful view of the Earth.

Wow, I missed this thread for some reason. Brian and Pierre were both great guys, how damn sad. This year has just been too much. RIP Brian and Pierre!

This is sad news. Rest In Peace Brian and Pierre.

Where does one send condolences?

I'm so fucking angry.

There are some truly horrible people out there and we have to lose Brian and Pierre?? What the fuck kind of world is that? Two decent, loving, kind souls are gone while horrible people go on. So fucking unfair.

Dammit.

This is sad news. I usually assume people are putting on a persona but it looks like Pierre truly was ill.

Ive been here since 2008 and remember the various (funny) posts from Christmas Moose, Evening Punctuationalist (and Randolph!), etc. lots of laughs ...

Sending lots of love and light out today in his memory

I was thinking and this may be a terrible idea so I want to throw it out there first.

I went to the link at R130 to make a small donation, but I couldn’t find the option to make it “in memory of”so I was going to send a check today.

I was considering adding in the subject line either for the wit and wisdom or Christmas Moose. Is that too weird? Over the line? Creepy?

Personally, Elderlez, I don’t think it’s any of those things.

I think it’s nice. That’s what “in memory of” means to me. What that person reminded you of, regardless if others outside of your (our) circle would get it or not.

Let’s say a friend of yours died and you and she always had an inside joke about, say, poker chips. You may write “remember the chips!” on your donation. Others may say, “huh?” but it’s not their business or their memories.

R169, I know this is odd for Datalounge but can I give you a hug?

Of course, sweetie R172

R128 Why is there always an idiot like you, in every thread?

If anyone wants to, search for the foundation (entire name as is) in Facebook, and you’ll get his sister’s Facebook announcement of his death. You can then see whom she tagged in her announcement—Pierre is one of them.

r170, a few of us sent donations to Brian's favorite animal shelter and sent condolences to his sister/family saying how we all appreciated him from Datalounge, and she did reply and thanked us. It just showed her how far and sort of obscure Brian's influence was.

R176 Would you mind posting the name of Brian’s favorite animal shelter? I want to make a donation. I’m late to the news; I just found out the other day.

I’m so glad I ordered those pajamas from him in 2016. They are really nice. And they have worn really well due to the quality!

r177, how kind of you! Yes, here was the shelter that he volunteered, adopted his cat from, and donated money to:

I’m thinking of you today, Pierre, and missing you very much.

I actually cried for you, and we’ve never met.

You're not the only one, R179.

Sad news. They were interesting sweet people.

Thank you, MrE. x

You would think that one advantage of anonymous boards would be not getting so attached to people, but that’s clearly not true.

I keep popping into this thread to see if anybody else posted. I guess I’m hurting, too.

Reading his posts are what got me to be a daily reader of DL, I loved his brain and his writing style and his absurd sense of humor.

It’s been a few days and I’m still grieving him, I thought others might be, too. If so, you can post here and have some company. Miss you, Moose.

I am too, R184.

A few years ago I was having a bad spell. Things were awful and nothing was going well for me. I mentioned my struggles in a post (can't remember which thread), the first person to respond to me was the Moose, wishing me well and offering a slobbery Moose kiss. His simple post put a smile on my face and I still think of that moment of kindness offered to me. Miss you Moose.

Great. Now I have tears in my eyes thinking it.

He’d be sending you big slobbery Moose kisses right now, r186. Pierre was great at lifting the stumbling man. And he was so good at it.

I met Moose once back on the pageant circuit. Sweet as could be. I was first runner-up in that one, but competing with that sweetheart, well, I knew who was going to get the title. And well deserved it was.

Bravo, r188, thank you for the laugh!

Oh no. I just checked the facebook post by his sister. He died on Dec. 25. That just makes it all the worse. He loved Christmas. God, this is so unfair. DL won't be the same without him. I don't want to post the link, or even a screenshot for fear of doxxing, but damn, I'm even more teary eyed now than before.

Thanks, R187, I'm sure you're right. I'm sure he'd be sending us all slobbery Moose kisses.

One of Pierre’s “tells” was his exuberant use of exclamation points, like this! Those exclamations gave away his true identity with different characters more than I think he knew. Of course I never told him. I was a fan who enjoyed his personas and wouldnt dream of outing him!

R190, I don't have Facebook.

R73 said his sister said he died on Dec.16th. I don’t understand.

I'm R73, and his sister's FB announcement was updated to say he died on December 25th (and also removed a link for donations to the Kelsey S. Harrington Foundation). Here's an official obituary confirming the Christmas date. I don't feel like I'm doxxing him at this point that it's been publicly announced. I'd like to think that he rode away on the Christmas Moose's sleigh.

Thank you Blueboy, r193, I think you’ve acted admirably.

Thank you, R193. How very sad.

That’s a sweet face, as sweet as he sounded.

That’s very odd that his sister’s original announcement was on December 16.

Thanks for posting the link, Blueboy.

Wow, he was so incredibly accomplished. How does this shit happen? How do the dregs of the earth continue on (I’m looking at you, Drumpf)?

Maybe he was on life support or in a coma on 12/16, and the family decided for him to die naturally?

It’s lovely to have a face to the name Pierre, his picture is as warm as the poster I knew.

You’re beautiful, Pierre, beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, R193.

What an incredibly in-depth obituary. Tells us a lot about our friend. Thank you so much for sharing that, r193.

I hope FOCM is OK.

FOCM and the Christmas Moose are one and the same, r202.

I’m sorry to tell you...they’re all Pierre.

R203, do you tell kids there’s no Easter bunny too? Geez.

Thank you, r203.

I assumed as much, but wasn’t sure and was hoping I was wrong.

I love his face, he looks like Everyman for a minute, but then you link his many brilliant posts with this one face and realize, he’s a giant among men.

I love his face, it’s a good face.

Just told a gay friend about Brian and “Pierre”/David and even he feels sad about them....

F208, I tried to tell a friend about this too, but because Pierre is an online presence, it didn’t land the way I felt it should.

I didn’t expect to have such a raw reaction to the death of a DLer. It’s all very confusing. I wish my other friends could understand.

^r208

I know I'm not adding much to the thread here but, fuck, this makes me sad.

Can we talk about how we first encountered Pierre?

I first read his posts on the thread about "Darryl the back yard squirrel." Pierre came in to the thread talking about his Blue Jays ( R69 in the linked thread). I laughed out loud when another poster chastised him (R85), and at Pierre's response (R105).

I forgot about that thread, r212!

We can celebrate his legacy by continuing the threads he contributed so much to. It's how he will live on in our hearts.

That thread was hilarious, R213.

Good idea, R214.

Should someone tell his sister he was beloved here? His thoughtfulness, intelligence, and empathy made him a great presence.

She might not understand the depth of such a statement. We hate almost everyone here.

I wish Pierre could’ve come on one last time to say goodbye to us.

Let’s not go overboard and be so drastic and and have to make such grand and extravagant gestures. The guy was beloved. He was a legend. No need to have a parade in the square.

R209 I know what you mean. This guy really got them. I told him about Brian’s art and kindness and Pierre’s characters. He emphasized with my feeling of loss.

By all means, continue the threads.

Excuse me, r218...

I feel so bad for Pierre. His obit says he died at home. I can't help but wonder what happened. I know he struggled with pneumonia, I just hope he wasn't in too much pain or discomfort in his last days. He'll be so missed around here.

R209, R218, I decided to tell my mom and I even showed her his obit. She knows nothing of DL, I simply said he was a member of a website I frequent (true!). She marveled at his accomplishments, thought he was handsome, AND thought he looked to be in his 40s (so years younger than his age!! ). She was understanding, and agreed that people we don't know personally can touch us deeply and in unexpected ways. I told her how he expressed kindness towards me when I was at a low point and that I was forever grateful for that - she said she too was grateful that a stranger showed me kindness when I needed it.

Our Brian was very accomplished and travelled as well:

MARY!, the lot of yas!

He sure was, R222!

O.K., r221, that just brought a couple of tears.

His thread 'The DataLounge Convention in the Jacob Javits Center in NYC' was when I first realized how many characters he really created. He cheered me up a number of times when I was especially glum or stressed.

R193 He does look sweet there, with a bit of a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He typed exactly like that.

This is sad I remember his posts in a thread about home help/ servants or somesuch, and recall his other posts, he always seemed very sane and balanced and decent for this relative newcomer

Just checking TV Guide to see what's on this evening. Came across this...

THE GREAT NORTH

New Episode

TONIGHT, 8:31 PM , 30 MIN 2021 TV-14

SEASON 1 • EPISODE 1 • SEXI MOOSE ADVENTURE

The Tobin family's plans to celebrate Judy's 16th birthday on the family fishing boat go awry after a moose breaks into the Tobin's home...

A moose once bit my sister...

R225, me too! R221, I'm glad you could share that with your mom.

If you scroll to r92 of the attached thread, Pierre seems to suggest that Covid was the culprit.

Read it, he talks about a vaccine that could be available were he not a “plebe.”

For those who wrote that they don’t understand the Moo threads, Pierre wrote this at r108 below.

Note that he notes trouble with heart and lungs near the end. He was sick for a long time.

Where does he discuss his health concerns, R233?

R234; he doesn’t discuss it. Instead he makes a very rare aside which I found notable, since Pierre was indefatigably positive. See his last line at r108 of that thread...

...then link it to his post at r92, same thread.

[quote]David Gerry Bartol, 14th Generation Mayflower Descendent.

How sad the first line of your obituary is a relative's accomplishments from four hundred years ago.

Sad? I’d say interesting, but not sad, r237. You seem very punchable. Go drown a basket of kittens or whatever makes you happy, just get out of here.

Wow. TBH, I never enjoyed Pierre's characters and threads, but I am nonetheless shocked and saddened by this news. I fully expected he'd turn up in here alive and well, explaining that he'd just decided to take a break from DL. Never imagined we'd learn there was something really wrong, let alone that he was dead. Although I did not share Pierre's interests or brand of humor, he seemed like a very nice guy who only wanted to spread some cheer here, and I'm sorry that he's gone. Condolences to his DL buddies who came to know him well. To his sister, if she somehow ends up here, I'm sorry for your and your family's loss.

Yes, it is sad R238. My father's family was at Jamestown and no one felt the need to broadcast the fact when someone died.

And I'll be in Times Square with a stiletto and that basket of kittens next week. Come by and punch me. I'll be wearing a MAGA hat.

Love you, Pierre. You made a lot of people happy here.

R237, only a miserable old fool would stink up a thread like this.

I’m holding back out of respect for Pierre and Brian what I really want to say to you. Suffice to say, I suspect there will be signs or relief when you’re gone from this world.

For now, I will settle for blocking you.

Pierre, I saw two moose today! Wish you were here so I could tell you all about my sighting.

R243, will you tell us anyway? It would fill my heart.

Remember when "collaborative fiction" was entertaining?

R244, my job involves travel to some fairly remote areas in Canada.

Today I was in Northern Ontario when my coworker and I saw two large brown spots in the distance. As we got closer we could see that the two brown spots were two moose just ahead of us!

We slowed down, blared the horn and they ambled out of our way. I see moose from time to time while at work, but aside from a mother and calf, I've never seen two together and I've been doing this job for 15 years! I don't know a lot about moose, all I can tell you is that they were huge and neither had antlers.

Thank you, r246, I needed that.

I opened up my 2021 calendar to hang up (only 4 days late). The month of January features, of all things, a moose.

I wiped some tears away. Rest In Peace, Pierre.

Please share more links to Pierre threads

r237's obit will read "r237 , 1st generation descendant of an incel and a prostitution whore..."

Beautiful Pierre in a photo from his college days. It was shared by his sister.

It appears that is a Mickey Mouse figurine over his shoulder.

did he have a partner?

He was gorgeous, inside and out, R251.

R251 wow he was a stunner then, a perfect ten

He's fine. He sends his love.

Wow R251 he was cute as hell

I love that photo of college-aged Pierre. Dreamy!

Bon voyage, Pierre! DL has lost one of the good ones.

Thinking of you tonight, Pierre.

Everybody’s involved with today’s insurrection, but a lot of us are still holding you to close to heart and memory. Miss you, moose.

🎶 What the world needs now,

Is Moose, sweet moose, 🎶

🎶 No not just for some, but for everyone

Funny you just posted, R258 as I was thinking the exact same thing. I came here to read some positivity. Miss you much, dear Moose.

My Trifecta:

Bacharach, Warwick and Moose.

^ you must change the word “love” to “Moose.”

Then it all makes sense...

Bump for Pierre.

Thinking of you today. You are missed. Love ya, Moose.

Has his condition changed?

We love you. We miss you so much.

R264 if your post is an attempt at humor, leave and don’t come back.

If not, read the thread.

Love you Pierre and wonder what you are thinking about what’s going on here on earth the past week. Hope you are seeing lots of bird species and moose up there! 💕💕🙏🙏

Did someone from DL donate the trees?

What trees, r268?

I did send a small donation to foundation. Which of you signed the obituary guest book with the name Pierre? (It was a lovely message imho.)

R268, I donated a tree. I like the idea of planting trees to honor people.

You’re a kind person R271.

R270 *hides shy face behind fan*

Rest in loving peace.

It beautifully expressed what he was to the Datalounge community R273. Thank you.

😭😭😭

Here’s what Pierre wrote on his 60th birthday, 8/16/20. I think it might cheer you.

“For my birthday:

When I am an old man I shall wear caftans and earrings

With a red sash which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.

And I shall spend my Social Security on bourbon and butt plugs

And Calvin Klein Velcro sneakers, and say we’ve no money for Duke’s mayo.

I shall lounge wherever I damn well please when I’m tired

And gobble up samples in Aldi and press alarm bells

And run my dick along the public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall flounce about as I please

And pick my nose, though not other people’s noses

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow even more fat

And eat three pounds of carbs, onion rings, and cake at a go

Or only bread and NO pickles for a week

And hoard pencils for dialing the phone.

But now we must have clothes from Barney’s that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not dare to be too sweet

And set a good example for the chickens.

We must have friends to dinner and keep up on the gossip.

But maybe I ought to practise a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear caftans.”

I love Pierre’s riff on the Jenny Joseph poem, that’s why I posted it. God, I miss him and his twisted sense of humor. And he was always good natured to a fault. Here’s to you, Pierre, clearly you are not forgotten.

Here’s the original poem, called “Warning.”

Bad link. Let’s try this.

... Moose haikus and limericks welcome

Pierre would like this one.

That’s a great one, r282!

Pierre would have really enjoyed the Inauguration. Tasteful, decent, diplomatic. OP Brian would have loved the vibrant fashion colors and hopeful tone. Oh, and there will be a indoguration!

I’m thinking of Pierre right now! Hi, Pierre, I miss you! I miss so many things about you.

Grief sucks.

Love to Brian, too.

Remembering and missing Pierre on the two-month anniversary of his death.

I’m glad you posted that, r286, there seem to be a handful of us who still think of Pierre regularly. And Brian too, of course.

It cheers me up to see that others still care.

I hope this isn't a repeat, but his sister posted about the donations made to the foundation a few weeks ago, apparently they have established a scholarship in his name.

Thank you for that, R288

Yes, thank you R288.

This made me tear up.

Thank you for sharing, R288.

Pierre's obit.

Pierre is open for business!

Inappropriate R293

Such a sweet face.

In going over some of this stuff posted, I have come to realize that Pierre was also the Downy Woodpecker bird thread guy. I'm honored to say that I had the privilege of naming his bird Chauncey, the Cardinal.

RIP, bird buddy. Fly free.

Whenever I see a male Cardinal, I always say "Hey Chauncey!"

Aww. Pierre may be gone but he’s not forgotten.

I hope someone worthy is appreciating that gorgeous rooftop deck and its flock of feathered friends. I'd like to think that house had a positive mojo.

Why do we keep pulling this thread up? The guy is dead and none of you knew him, so just let it go.

Anyone who can actually foster fond feelings from others on a site known for nonstop bitchery and vicious cuntery is kind of special, R300. Appreciate it if not only for its rareness.

Jeez, you could have just ignored this thread, R300.

The same way I’m going to ignore you.

Begone. FF and blocked.

For Pierre

R303: that’s sweet

[quote]His last post was “ , And if f be” on Facebook on Dec 12th . Not sure that it means. RIP

It sounds like the Leonard Cohen song "If It Be Your Will"

Obviously his illness prevented him from completing his post, but maybe he was attempting to say something like "And if it's to be my last post ever, I'd like say how much I love you all and thank you for being in my life" or some similar nice sentiment. Seems like his style.

This made me think of Pierre.

Downy woodpecker on my deck today. Guess what I called him?

Love you for that r307

Me too, R308.
