What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I must have missed something. I searched through Natter and Bitches but didn't see anything. What happened with ita?

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

She didn't announce anything. She's just taking a hiatus.

And like you I really miss her. And like you I recognize that she is going through a tough period right now and needs to do what is right for her. So I would love to have her back, but won't ask her come back. Because it is not just a matter of her being the boss of her. She knows better than I do what is best for her.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Because it is not just a matter of her being the boss of her. She knows better than I do what is best for her.

That's actually what I meant when I said she is the boss of her. I didn't think I needed to spell it out in so many words, nor was I being glib.

If there was ever a place where stuff WILL get spelled out in so many words...

Natter 73: Well...here we are...

But that's probably just my mood of late - not about the board but of life in general.

Call me Eyore?

Our wings are not tired.

Natter 73: is the Chuck Norris of numbers.

or maybe

Natter 73: is the Chuck Norris of natters.

This is likely because I have been watching a LOT of Big Bang as I try and clear my recorded tv...

So I had to look up the whole exchange because all I could remember was that Chuck Norris was involved with 73 and Sheldon's shirt. Gotta love Google.

Sheldon: "The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the 12th and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3... and in binary 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001."

Leonard: "73 is the Chuck Norris of numbers!"

Sheldon: "Chuck Norris wishes... all Chuck Norris backwards gets you is Sirron Kcuhc!"

And now I am thinking it would be better to toss that suggestion in without context, because that would be the right thing to do.

Chuck Norris of Natters is cracking me up!
