You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All is well that ends in pizza.
We are going to need a new tech thread, soon, Early proposals:
Buffistechnology3: clocking a pretty scary amount of computer time.
Buffistechnology3: I'm jacked in, I'm jacked in, I'm jacked in...
Buffistechnology3: Technopagan is the term.
Buffistechnology3: It's the computer age; nerds are in.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Buffistechnology3: "Well, why don't we experiment? Press some buttons, see what happens." "I'd like to veto that."
eta: Too long. Maybe just the first sentence?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I think "Press some buttons, see what happens" better than the first sentence.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, I think "Press some buttons, see what happens" better than the first sentence.This!
It's canon *and* it's pretty much what I'd do without the thread too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Love Press Some Buttons. Too hung over to touch genre.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ponder ponder ponder. I'm thinking about Gus passing and thought I'd float an idea. We've never lost one of our own, and I like Trudy's idea of an online wake. I was wondering if we'd want to make a special thread for it. Might be superfluous, and we could certainly do it in Natter and that would be perfectly appropriate.
But it would also be nice to have a place to gather Gus together to remember him and celebrate his stay with us. We could Nilly up links to his first posts, or conversations we remember. His delurking. His re-delurking after the monkey bite. Coming home to find his house occupied. His kites. His COMMs. And share our memories there. A wake thread, I guess that would just be open when we'd need it. Of course, I'd like to think we'd never need one, but this community has gone on for a while, and I know that when I go I'd like a place for my friends online to gather and raise a glass. A place you could go back to and visit when you were missing him and have it all pulled together.
Thoughts?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Would having a special thread (started for the occasion) be...not Kosher? Because I think I like that idea better.

I'm not sure which idea you prefer, Debet.
As for the Kosherness - well, we've never lost anybody before, and I'm proposing something new. Thinking of how we handle that as a community. What our rituals will be.
