You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

What is even happening?

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.

Haven't we had prophetical thread titles before?

That was more a summary than a prophecy.

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

Here are three things that happened in 49 AD:

  • Emperor Claudius marries his niece Agrippina the younger (approximate date).
  • Engagement of Nero and Octavia, daughter of Claudius.
  • Agrippina charges Octavia's first fiancĂ©, Julius Silanus, of incest. He is brought before the Senate and sentenced to death.

WTF?

Also, for P-C, 49 is the atomic number of indium.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess Natter 48 Contiguous States of Denial was prophetic, though.

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

Nice!

I wonder if Gus would like the really, really awful thread title that came into my head. It's so bad I will whitefont it: Natter 49: Gus Who's Not Coming to Dinner.

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

Got to say, one of the highlights of all this was some poking around in archive threads and recalling some of our late great titles (Natter 25: Half the Ways to Leave Your Lover).

Also, Cindy, from one of those old threads - this summer there was a "squirbit" sighted in my dad's back yard by my sis and the upstairs neighbors that caused much speculation about what was actually in the river that his yard backs on. I laughed my ass off when I came across a several years' old post where you'd encounted the same thing (unidentifiable mammal looking like a cross between a squirrel and a rabbit) and come up with exactly the same name for it.

I've been meaning to read Crying of... for a long time now. Maybe the thread title would actually push me there. I have no other brilliant ideas.
