DataLoungers of Yesteryear that you miss

Tony’s still here, I made fun of him just yesterday.

I miss none of the named posters. Sorry.

We all miss Magdalen, of course.

The Magdalen!

Pierre. :(

I was rather fond of Pills.

Cackle Cackle, who was an elder-eldergay and for once people were kind.

I also miss Pierre.

Tom the g.r.i.d. survivor (early diagnosis queen. he had a few names, usually something to do with NY. He'd ragequit during election years and routinely pissed off the crowd because of his praise of catholic hospices in the 80s, and think he was the first one to popularize "go die in a grease fire" here. Obsessed with The Rockettes and was usually a credible source for all NY musical drama (on broadway, off broadway, uni, cast, crew, patrons. Think his most disputed thread was about broadway + tonys and homophobia) died 2009/2010?)

Cacklecackle, Blue Agave and Pierre.

There’s also a whole lot posters that I miss that i miss that perhaps just stopped authenticating.

The poster with the ungrateful niece. I've only laughed harder at the Shit Brickhouse Troll stories.

It went so far beyond the infamous Chicken a la King, the Easter bonnet, the Avon bottles, and the serving of goose instead of turkey for Christmas. For instance, he told us how the niece and her husband split up and he contacted the husband (who told him that he didn't think that their second child was actually his, among other things).

I do not miss Joel.

Miss ABC Insider. Must have retired from the network.

WEHT EA (Enrolled Agent) Tax Guy?

Blue Agave. Shinjuku Baby(?). Juanita Jazzhands Bynum. A lot of the older ones were so much more fun and witty. They were here during DLs golden years.

[quote]After the defamation thread on my persona

What happened? I missed it.

The Christmas Mouse was a truly sweet person. I wish we heard more from Bronze Age Guy, he's a doll.

R16 some unhinged basement dweller thought it was cute to spread the vicious rumour that I am defact0. This slanderous thread was dealt with swiftly.

Vote #2 for Christmas 🐭

Mr. Hollywood.

I always found Mr Go Asian endearing

I'd probably miss defuckturd if he got banned from the site at last.

Elderlez should post more.

Whet Kirker? Is daddy still bankrolling his 50+ y/o son?

I miss The Evening Punctualist. Seemed like a kind, gentle soul.

I loved Josh, and the shit he’d stir up simply by posting. I met him in real life and liked him.

I must be an eldergay: Celebrity Caterer

[quote]I miss The Evening Punctualist. Seemed like a kind, gentle soul.

PUNCTUATIONIST.

And his assistant, Randolf.

The Dominion Wackiness Troll and the Friday Afternoon Drinkie Poos Troll.

R25, the Evening Punctuationist was Pierre who was also the Christmas Moose.

Shinjuku Baby got me through my bar exam jitters and I always appreciated his posts. That was 17 years ago now.

Shit Brickhouse Troll by far. His hilarious stories never failed to make me laugh my ass off.

Cackle Cackle. I wish he had left me his authentication handle,

[quote]the Evening Punctuationist was Pierre who was also the Christmas Moose.

He was also responsible for the cow threads, and the Catholic-apologetic threads as Xavier.

I miss Noodles! Every time I walk by my local Zabar's, I say, "Yum!"

Our beloved Christmas Mouse. The Moose was no substitute.

[quote]The Dominion Wackiness Troll

Yes. I think he was also the Lisa Whelchel Troll, who also is missed. I can't reach for a bottle of hot sauce without thinking of him.

R32 Defacto, is this really you? Glad to see you back, that the humorless twats have not chased you away.

The Lisa Whelchel Troll was hilarious

R38 Hey hon ;) It is I! They haven't succeeded yet, but they might soon. Last time I got banned after only one day :( It's getting hard to be a gangster around here.

R40 Defacto, these stupid fraulike bitches are just jealous cause you are 1000 times more interesting than them. No passeran!

^ Defuckturd talking to himself.

Shinjuku Baby.

Bengali in Platforms.

Shinjuku Baby for me too, but one who hasn't been mentioned is the endlessly weird Grumpy, Rumpy and Umpy.

R41 Bless you, kind soul! It's very nice to be reminded that I still have support around these parts :)

Did Pills actually pass away? Or was that a bitchy rumor?

I miss the Yellow Skin Troll and the Actors With Womanly Hips Troll- who I suspect is the same person. They would always pop up every three months and ask for examples of their fetishes and always took getting smacked down with incredible grace. And then, like a blow up beach toy, bounce back no less enthusiastic.

The Susan Richardson Troll is greatly missed.

On Defacto:

I never hated him because he's a right wing idiot. I merely disliked him for that. Or rather I disagreed with him. And that's okay. We all don't have to agree on things.

I hated him because of the 2015 thread spamming. Nothing to do with is politics. I'd hate a lefty who did that. I'd hate my mother if she did that. It's was childish, with zero point other than to irritate and make our beloved DL almost impossible to access while he was on his tirades. Only a psychopath does things like that. Truly. Maybe a benign one, but a psychopath nonetheless.

Now that he's stopped that? He's just another annoying right wing moron. Which feels like his natural sweet spot: Worthless, reductive, his own worst enemy, and not worth my time or energy (this post notwithstanding).

Who I miss? Many posters actually, but I'll stick with another troll. A GOOD troll: School Marm (or something like that. Forgot her word for word handle). That bitch was psycho, but incredibly interesting.

[quote]make our beloved DL almost impossible to access

MARY!

Pollyanna Prisspot R49?

Cacklecackle, Judy Pills. Voice of the Night is still here, I remember when they were to go off to Med School I think it was.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell I do not miss at all. Don't ask.

Dutchie I think you're alright. Nice and blunt with good humor.

Cacklecackle was sweet. Just actually sweet.

I miss the charming self-deprecation of Price Leatherbarrow and the generous wisdom of our resident lesbian librarian Kipper.

I hope they still check in from time to time.

Has anyone mentioned PMBT John?

Not yet, R54.

Greg?

[quote] Has anyone mentioned PMBT John?

John would have made this a poll. "Who is the BEST EVER DataLounger of Yesteryear?"

I miss how John's bizarre discriminatory Asian hierarchy would make people lose their shit when he posted. He was an A+ troll, truly a master!

VoTN is posting in the Agnes Nixon thread.

I miss neighbor Joel and Mitzi. Love hearing from TheNiceOne.

Cackle Cackle (was he the one that did the weather updates from Half Moon Bay or somewhere? Lovely fella)

Weather *and* gasoline prices, R61 :)

Have we heard from the GAP Playlist guy lately?

Or the Connie Francis troll?

I saw the gap playlist guy recently.

I miss Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

I appreciate Mr GoAsian for his frank discussions on particular points of view on dating asian.

Tequila Mockingbird

Connie Francis troll is relatively active. God bless that deluded elderqueens.

Yes, I liked Go Asian. I'm sure he has a lot of friends in real life.

AFAIK, Kipper was not a lesbian.

R70, you may be right!

I miss AIKC.

Where is our resident, chocolate Scorpion 🦂?

The Connie Francis fans are still here!

Generally speaking, I don't bother "liking" anyone on here, because 9 times out of 10 they'll seem interesting on some thread about Rodgers and Hammerstein or something, then say "all blacks are subhuman filth" or "gas all Jews" in another thread, then they go into a thread about a sick or dying DLer and pat themselves on the back for being such a good and decent human being, and it's grotesque.

I also realize I'm in the minority on this, because I've seen hundreds of comments on DL along the lines of "who cares if they believe in the Final Solution, I want to see their comments about frozen lasagna" so I'm aware that most DLers are here BECAUSE of the shit, not despite it.
