Gus and erika and Corwood talking about the Wire. True believers.
Gus calling Aurelia "golden one."
Gus and Consuela talking about Scotch.
Gus and ita talking about his son.
Giving him shit. Talking some shit. Awww, fuck. It sucks donkey dick.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Kristin gave me a 25 year old Bowmore for Christmas. I've not opened and tasted it yet. When we get back home later this evening I'll be opening it and I'm going to pour a glass for Gus.
Gus's glowing pride talking about his son, and about his son's girlfriend (later wife, I think?), and about the things they were doing with their lives.
Oh, Seamus. I hope you're handling things okay. Keep fighting the good fight. Your dad would want it that way.
Gus was just so much fun to shoot the shit with. I remember him talking about his Serenity kite (which for some aerodynamic reason would only fly upside down) and I threatened to build a Reaver kite to do battle with his Serenity - I forget his exact response but it was along the lines of, "Bring it, man!"
He will be missed greatly.
I think this was his first post in Natter 9:

Blood is thicker than water. Adjust your recipes accordingly.
I've been threadsucking Natter on alternate days. It's like getting a really thick free book three times a week. My Amazon account misses me.

So he was here a little bit before his drunken post from the bar with his laptop.
The first person to welcome him? Jesse. No wonder he always loved that cowgirl.
He posted here for three years without kerfuffling or bitterness. In fandom, that is not a career. That is a miracle. (Paraphrased from Jay Landsman, who was eulogizing somebody else.)
Ooh - erikaj posts exactly at midnight. (Central time, anyway....)
Taking a moment... and we're done(Although it's still eleven here)
Oh, god. Thanks for telling us, kimi, I'm sure it's difficult but we appreciate you letting us know. I'm crying at half-six in the morning on a new year, fantastic way to go off to France, but I'll be thinking of Gus on the journey. To you, Gus, wherever you are.
Happy new year, everyone.
