Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And really? 3 YEARS?!?!?! That was THREE YEARS AGO?!?!

This was my reaction too. When I saw the "2006," thought, no way it was that long ago. Wait, actually, my reaction was that 2006 seemed to be after he "died" here, so I went back to check, and sure enough. New Year's Eve. Still, that seems like such a long time ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember all the bugs in the TT threads. Remember when we lost a day or two worth of posts? Happened several times. And there was other weird wonkiness in post dates.

Hats off to all the awesome Buffista coders - b.org has (mostly) been more stable than TT.

Thrive to spite them

Also when there was first talk of Table Talk going pay and talk of us moving I was really worried because I had a been apart of another group where something similar happened and that group of people just kept talking about doing something and never did.

I was worried the same thing would happen to the Buffistas.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

where did the Gus talk start?

Trust my rage

Thanks, Tom. Searching for "Gus" got me, of course, nothing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Scola, I meant to say this yesterday. Thank you for linking to that article.

Who wants some msbelle hilarity from Bureau 1?

ok ok - I will support Natter V. Natter, but Cheese better NOT become another Monkeypants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I snapped. I sent an email to Annalee about the Buffista paragraph. Apparently I can't let things go at all.

Don't expire from surprise.

b.org has (mostly) been more stable than TT.

I like to err on the side of duplicate posts, when I can.

Did we have a Bureau at TT? Okay, *that's* annoying.

I was totally anti-Natter too. That historical stance I'll back off of. All the rest I was completely right about.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Didn't we start Bureau as Building a Better Board?

I don't think so. At WX, definitely.

Complications from the monkey bite, IIRC.

Yeah, I though "complications from monkey bite" was the cause of death stated. And I may be misremembering, but I don't recall Gus ever saying he had MS. Between Deb G and Jen K, I'm taking that one a little personally. Although, while it is a personal thing for me (and most of us, really), I just can't get all het up about the Gus incident (the article is a mildly different matter). I've got too much real life stuff to worry about.
