Mal ,'Ariel'
[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.
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.
Happy New Year, SA. Have fun storming the Gauls.
Mang (to quote Jesse), we had some interesting discussions in Natter 9 (when Gus delurked). We were all disaffected by the tone in the show threads (remember show threads?) and cultural shifts and....Well, we talked a lot about it.
eta: Heh. Also...we argued about the serial comma. No, really.
also eta: ::pout:: Also, Betsy and ita weren't having multiple migraines every week.
whoa eta: ...and when Schmoker showed up. Wow. That was a world ago.
David, I am down in San Jose now, after having spent a couple of days with family in SF. I only just learned about Gus tonight, but I find myself wishing I had at least one more day up in the City so I could have a mini wake with you and JZ, and maybe a few other beloved 'Ffistas.
I think it would be comforting to see you and meet beautiful Matilda.

She's supercute!
Also, we have whiskey.
Hey, we're here all year. Maybe longer. Swing on by.
