Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I'm intellectual enough to post in a Pynchon-titled thread. I'm also afraid we're setting ourselves up for pain. Haven't we had prophetical thread titles before?

Now tagless for your comfort.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are you afraid the thread will be auctioned off? (That's what the "crying" is referring to.)

Thank you for saving me from asking msbelle what she meant by "pynchon".
I've seriously had a "Shock the Monkey" earworm (talk about a timeline of angst) since Monday, because it came on an internet radio station as the e-mails were flying fast and furious. So Natter 49 is always going to be a "Shock the Monkey" reference for me, even if we call it Natter 49: Shame Us.
If Gus is really dead, he's laughing at all that. If he's really alive, he's laughing at all that, and kicking himself for not being able to chime in.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That was more a summary than a prophecy.
