It's...nice that you think so?
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm making tacos.
Lately I've been amused by the fact that I discuss hardcore pornography at work possibly more often than I would had I got that job at Playboy. My life is a little ridiculous.

My neighbors made tacos too. And posted about it on FB. Since it is only a 5 minute walk away, I thought of going over there. Except I owe them big and already ate and that'd be rude (despite an open invite to dinner, they always make too much.)
I'm wishing Baltimore wouldn't be so shitty to them (in the year they've been here, M's had to be hospitalized with appendicitis, T's car has been broken into, M's car has been hit, trashcan's been stolen, fire was set in their alley) because I love having them as neighbors, and honestly, it is too bad they are just starting out in their careers and money is tight, or I'd be actively lobbying them to buy one of the upcoming for sale houses on the block. Hell, Matt knows and is loved by the block already!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So I was telling my fantabulous roomie L the whole complicated Gus story, which evolved into me talking about how I love the Buffistas so and what a great community we have and... well, L, if you are lurking then HI!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far I haven't gone hunting through old Natters for Gus posts. I suspect it might happen during slow spots at work tomorrow, though.
I'm not very good at letting some stuff go. But I want to revisit the genesis of tvtropes. Curses.
I'm glad the topic of him led to a good discussion, smonster.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I want to revisit the genesis of tvtropes.
It evolved, in part, from my long standing desire for The Encyclopedia of Lost Pop Cultural Tropes. Which was a different idea but got us off onto the notion of viral bits of narrative which recur in little protein strands.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Random quote from a kindergartner talking to his father about his pregnant mother:
"Today was mommy's due date...but she didn't do anything."

Do you remember which thread, bout when, Hec? Was he a natterer?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been reading through some old Natter threads, because I can't turn my brain off from math mode, and it seems to have decided that Gus is something to solve. I'm pretty convinced that he was actually from Wisconsin. Don't know about anything else, though.

Our wings are not tired.
I wasn't here when the Gus thing went down, so need a shortcut for perspective: was it the equivalent of say, finding out that a Vortex or a NoiseDesign or a Sarameg wasn't real? I mean, in terms of how involved he was on the board? I can see how that would be jolting and bewildering.
