Peregrinator, Rest in Peace

[BoobsNBrains]

Definitely one of the good ones. RIP, Perg.

 

[Dribble]

May I ask……Why?

Cause there was enough Perg to go around....and if he was too busy...there was always me

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

I am sad (yet glad) I logged in here today to see this news. I met him at JFK when he had a long layover after a return from Haiti, many years ago. I am sad to read this news, and know am fortunate to have met him and had a few hours of dinner, wine and conversation with him. RIP.

ETA: Something I'd like to say to people who click this thread because you know Perg, and thus know of or know me. And those who don't know and/or don't care, won't notice this post. I started posting here when I was going through a divorce. I was an asshole. I was fully myself too... but every part of oneself does not need to be yielded as a weapon, even if I am right. Right according to my own perspective, which is real. But other people's perspectives count too, especially when I shut up.

I met 20 to 30 Lit people in person when I was posting here 2005-2009, all around North America. People thought I was bragging when I'd talk about an upcoming business trip, but really I was fishing to meet people. Those I met changed my life, including Perg. Almost no lovers in a sexually physical sense, but very much so spiritually.

They would have no problem with me saying this, but I once had dinner with Hester. I explained how I felt about something, she answered "whenever i have felt that needy, I know there is something wrong with me." I had dinner with Mechablade, talked to him about my opinion on something, and despite him being 10+ years younger he answered, "Well that's pretty judgmental of you, who do you think you are?" Both were harsh but right, and I learned.

Same with Perg when i met him and talked for about 2 hours at the airport. And he kissed me when we parted ways. A loving kiss between a man and a woman that was not about sex, but was not quite platonic, and was not about someday...it was "great to meet you, and I cherish this moment."

I remember it to this day, along with other people I met. Real connections that I thought I could not have I am very, very grateful to him and so many people from here who are the reasons why I don't post here anymore. You know who you are; if you smile when you read this post, it is you. And I am smiling too. Thanks Perg, and everyone else who met me.

PS this extends to people I did not meet too. If it felt like a connection, it was. And it probably benefited me more than you. So thanks.

Sorry to hear this. RIP

 

[RobDownSouth]

Genuinely sorry to hear this. He was one of the good guys.

In addition to his well-deserved spot in Lit's Hall of Fame, Peregrinator made an even more select list: Busybody's Favorite Posters

I have some questions for you Busybody
Who is your favourite poster, other than yourself?

Several, Perg, Ish, Pvt Matt (or whatever he changes his name to) Robdownsouth, Pookie and the really good porn posters

Awesome.

 

[InsatiableDsire]

His harem will all appear one by one.

Ask yourself how that happens.

Harem girl alt list?

(Morgaine has been here as BB for years.)

You seem awfully bitter about how many people loved him. Frankly, you should STFU.

You are also on Busybody's favorite list. I like Busybody in many ways. I like you too.

Stop sharpening your weapon. Your weapon is you, and we love you. But not sharpened and weaponized. It's your brain, that's the best part.

ETA: And as a man. You are smart, and right. Then you don't lead, you just get mean. Lead. We need you.

Thank you for this post. Perg was a truly good man. And this reminds me of all the good people and adventures back in the day. I learned so much here and hold many dear, still.

You never know….The GB has had fake deaths before.

Unfortunately, it's not fake. I only wish it was.

I just found out about Perg on facebook tonight, it was a long weekend here, someone I knew was murdered Friday, there are body parts scattered around parts of the city, friends are in hospitals and other things, so just catching up on email and facebook.

I was just remembering him earlier today since there was a facebook memory of the 8th anniversary of my porch being torn off by a pickup truck, Perg was on the phone with me when it happened.

My first reaction was swear, my next was to want to talk to Byron and other friends from the time we were in closer contact, but they are also gone. I have texts, voice messages and letters, but it doesn't seem like it is much of a person.

The last time we interacted beyond facebook was last June when I sent him some stuff I had promised him long ago, and he thanked me when they arrived. I still have some spears he had yet to pick up when he was out this way.

I have a flood of memories about Perg. He was mensch, he had a good heart. He made me laugh, kept me from killing Byron, and there for me when Byron died, and the stories/ adventures that were so Perg.

I think tonight I will write down the Perg stories before they get buried mists of time.

I also am going to take more pictures, videos and sound recordings of friends and loved ones because you seriously never know when they will be gone, also stay in better touch with people.

It's strange how you think there is always more time with people and death is so finite. It's very hard to believe Perg is gone.

Why the hell would anybody know anybody here outside of here? Why the hell would anybody know when somebody wasn't here, or there?

Reasons.

The posters who write well and make good arguments earn fame and fellowship. Peregrinator was top of the line.

 

[Noor]

I'd forgotten we got in together. Perg was an influence on everybody who knew him, even if it was just online. Gonna miss having him around to send and receive interesting bits of info.

Perg was probably the best example of how to do constructive chaos I've known.

Absolutely!

 

[Noor]

Lots of us oldies know each other outside of here. Perg was one of the first I knew.

Because Lit used to be a fucking place of substance.

 

[Thunderbear]

I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say that Perg's approval went a long way for SheRemembers to trust, and eventually marry me.

He will be remembered.

This is beautiful. I remember you from back in the day when I was way too young to be playing around on here (as she_is_my_addiction). It's nice to see you again.

I can totally relate to that, he approved of Byron too, though he did offer to kill him for me if he didn't behave

Bitter? I think it’s sweet how a married guy from the suburbs managed to cultivate and maintain such a large, loyal, attractive string of bitches from all over the USA.

Super sweet!

I stand corrected; he was an inter-continental rake, perhaps Lit's Most Prolific.

He was also one of the Top 10 Hall of Fame Members, a number of which are dead.
