Our wings are not tired.

inside a Black Box, and Pynchon refuses to pop the lid and resolve our uncertainty.

Ok, now the question is, do I need to read this to participate in Natter 49?

Yes, I should edit to make it one post, but not going to.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The Crying of Natter 49 is funny, but only in that didn't-like-the-novel-anyway kind of way.

I like Natter 49er, or maybe Natter 49er: My Darling Clementine

Ok, now the question is, do I need to read this to participate in Natter 49?

I think the answer to that is "forty-two".

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like The Crying of Natter 49 but I like Natter 49er: My Darling Clementine better.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Also, I am personally calling out Aimee for Luther Vandrossing in my Bureaublahblah thread,

I did not Luther Vandross Bureaublahblah.

I Aaron Neville'd it.

Plbbt.

I like Natter 49er: My Darling Clementine best.

I gotta go with the Pynchon name, though the "49er" ones aren't bad.

I was just looking up on wikipedia the term "Maxwell's Demon" as it turns up in LOT 49, and "Maxwell Demon" was the name of the Bowie figure in VELVET GOLDMINE. Turns out it was also the name of Brian Eno's first band (Eno being one of the models for Jack Fairy in VG as well).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm surprised the San Francisco folks haven't made any 49ers jokes yet.

I'm surprised the San Francisco folks haven't made any 49ers jokes yet.

Last year I would have said that the team was doing more than enough on its own as a joke, but they had a decent season this year all things considered.

What is even happening?

Natter 49er: My Darling Clementine

This would definitely get my vote.

Mine, too.

Since we can't have Shock the Monkey. I'm sorry, but snark has healing properties. Stop judging me.
