We're powerless to resist.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I vote for ita's links. I also just clicked the "nifty lighting" one, so there's my answer to that question.

I think there was only one that I resisted, and it took a lot out of me. But probably less than if I'd clicked.
I vote ita's links.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita's links

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The thing about ita's links is that it's like the mouse with the lever that randomly dispensed treats. Even when there were no more treats dispensed, and the mice who had always gotten treats or gotten treats every other time had stopped, the random-treat mice kept on pushing the lever.
Sometimes we get really good links. And, as long as that continues to be the case (we're slightly smarter than mice), that's still enough of a draw to get me to click on (most of) ita's links.
Umm...I guess that's a vote for ita's links.
Maybe penguins for Good Riddance?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
People would still click on my links, though, right?
We haven't learned yet, so I'ma guess we're in no danger of doing so now.
Maybe penguins for Good Riddance?
Ooh, good idea.

Totally voting for ita's links unless she objects.
Did we ever use "Natter #: bottles of beer on the wall..." as a name?

I'll also vote for penguins on Good Riddance.

What is even happening?

This mouse moves her mouse 'til the cursor is on the link, and waits to see what URL shows up on the bottom bar of her web browser, before she clicks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe penguins for Good Riddance?
Good call. I'll set that up on Friday.
Natter 41 is set up and ready to go.
