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.

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

Tommy, can you send me that address to my email addy?

Argh. Thought I had it in gmail, but I don't. But I do have the address stored in a text file, and I'm 99% sure that's correct. I'll send you that in a minute.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks. It's a just-in-case. Not planning on going up there tomorrow or anything.
