Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I like the Beatles one, and I haven't seen anyone saying they didn't like it. I'd say we go for it, unless someone comes up with a convincing arguement for why we shouldn't.

Nope. I meant Bitches. It's larger, faster (normally more posts there than Natter when I've been gone for a while), and less cozy than it used to be.

Oh, I see-- you mean, than it used to be. I'd thought you were saying, than the other thread.

I'll agree that Bitches is bigger, but I don't think it's less cozy. I mean, I think it's cozy. I mean, I don't remember less coziness.

All of the sudden Bitches wouldn't be safe for a whole bunch of people if you expressed your opinion enough.

Well, I think there's also arguing, and arguing well....

I am so inarticulate, I am sorry. I am going to go to bed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, everyone's had a chance to come up with a title or go against the prevailing Beatles one. Or at least, constructively they have. So, Natter 9...Natter 9...Natter 9?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We're gonna need a natter nine. I think the only suggestion so far has been the Beatles one; am I correct? I'd hate us to be the renamer what renames at midnight, but...

I like that "What is it with you people and penguins monkeys?", but then I'm hopelessly behind. What's the Beatles one?

I like monkeys too, just because the Denzel people want to win even when they're behind on misterpoll. But I do think natter 9...etc got more support.

Natter 9 ... Natter 9 ... Natter 9 ...

Or something like that.

I'm having a Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel moment in completely not getting that as a Beatles reference. Though I have no objection to it as a thread title, and certainly have no suggestions of my own.

Ah, ok.

Nah, I prefer the menagerie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So is Natter 9 the final answer?
