Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

We'll need a new Natter soon. 1961 was a momentous year, so there's lots of possibilities....

Natter 61: I believe that this board should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing Natter on the moon and returning it safely to Earth.

OK, that's a bit long.

Natter 61: Landing Natter on the moon!

Then there's Eisenhower's famous speech:

Natter 61: We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial-Natter complex.

And there were lots of advances on the automotive front:

Natter for '61 - now with suicide doors!

Now tagless for your comfort.

There is also the Mickey Mantle/Roger Maris battle to break Babe Ruth's single season home run record by hitting 61 home runs in 1961.

We could go with Natter 61: HOME RUN!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yes, Tommy is definitely back.

Natter 61: We've got the blues

Natter 61: Revisited

Natter 61: Deal with the Devil

Highway 61 is the blues highway to New Orleans. Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul at the crossroads of Hwys. 61 and 49. Highway 61 Revisited is one of Dylan's best albums. Okay, maybe a bit too obscure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Natter 61 Revisited.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Definitely this, please!

Without the colon, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Definitely need Natter 61 Revisited.

We'll need a new Natter soon. 1961 was a momentous year

It was very momentous for me. That's the year I was born.

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

I kind of like the Natter-Industrial Complex.

All is well that ends in pizza.

We'll need a new Natter soon. 1961 was a momentous year

It was very momentous for me. That's the year I was born.

Me too.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight was #1 on the charts when I was born. I have a lifelong embedded earworm.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'd rather reference baseball than Bob Dylan. So I'll suggest:
