     Statistical anomaly: 47% surge in conversations over Neighborhood Fences, weakening increase in will-hear share, thus misleading scope of attention; samples follow:
     Neighborhood=Espalhafatos: Not that I've seen anything myself, but my sister's husband's weld-tek wrangler said he saw a fight, well, more like a wrestling match, between a Gastarbeiter and a neighbor from his house-hill.
     Neighborhood=Prijedor: So Ah says t' da sumbitch, "Fucka you an' a-fucka da caballo you rode in on." And he's gotta cajones to socka ma' eye? Where's he get that from?
     Neighborhood=Nikumaroro: I hear the talk. I see the numbers. Then I look outside. I walk to the market. I take a godawful slow qi-che to work. It's all so normal, so quiet. I can't believe so many fights are going on.
     Neighborhood=Mawddach: Staring at my Madge like a dingo in rut. Just the one cobber's staring, but he's backed up by three mates. I hail a constable, and he herds us into a pub. A pub! Now, I'm having them to my home. They're bringing some kind of meat — "jerked," they call it — to put on my barby. Who'da thought?
     Neighborhood=Catalina: My house, Edgar, tonight. Bring a squirt gun. Huh? Go buy one then. We'll fill up with this nasty juice I've put together. Aim for their eyes. We'll run these foreign cocksuckers off one way or another. Yeah, I'm recruiting everybody I know. Uh, bring water; mine's on the blink.
     Neighborhood=Awaji: I've got to learn more swear words. From-Italia is good, I hear. There I was, flat on my butt, dumped there by a pack of Gastarbeiter. I used every from-USA curse I knew and they just laughed. Then they took turns blasting me in different languages. I didn't know what they were saying, but it hurt! By God, I'll get even with every limp-pricked, flop-chested, brain-cramped, heart-shriveled, camel-boinking Gastarbeiter I ever see again.
     Neighborhood=Vestmannaeyjar: I hit Milton with "But I want to know now! What if there's a wave of them ... them Guest-Workers pillaging their way toward me?" And he hits back, "The anshin post every Incident on their Em-Deh board." So, my hit? A sniff — y'know, scornful — and "Anshin don't tell us a thing till they finish their Response Pattern and that can be the next day. I want to know now!" That's why Milton's setting up a stone's-throw klatsch. You see a fight, two taps, and you can let the whole town know. Pass that on, y'hear.

      Notable excerpts: Moderated Klatsch "Patterns for Meshing Society and Economy"
      By: Der Xanleako Rentovik [Neighborhood Xref=Merritt]
     .full-video/visual interpretation=off: Welcome to my lecture series. Sorry I'm late. We lost power in the whole office building this morning. Quite an extraordinary experience, I must say. We had no contingency plans and had to wait outside till it resumed. Not a long interruption, but enough to put my whole team well behind schedule. Again, I apologize. Let's get started.
     Yesterday, I discussed the concepts of kinetic economic energy, combines, and contracts. Today, I will continue with the related topic of potential economic energy, in particular, how our Collectives support zhee-tely not actively working under contract, commonly known as "living off the Collective."
     But first, let me check our numbers. Yesterday, attendance soared for some reason, and today — My Lord! Even higher today! Two-hundred sixty-two thousand, four-hundred and twenty-one hits. Thank you all for attending. I hope you find what I have to say of interest.
     We all know that our Standard-of-Living Patterns guarantee us food, clothing, shelter, and health. Our Collectives always provide health through anshinkan contracts, but they do not always provide food, clothing, and shelter. They provide these necessities only when we are unfortunate enough to slip off contract.
     Did you hear how I phrased that? "Unfortunate enough to slip off contract." Did any of you notice anything wrong with my casting aspersions on people who lose their jobs?
     No, probably not, and that is unfortunate indeed. Unfortunate, because the fundamental patterns of our society strive mightily to overcome this stigma. They endeavor to construct a safety net for people because they assume that people out-of-work are not lazy, stupid, and any other form of reprobate. They assume that such people constitute potential economic energy, that they will not sit around "on the dole"; they will not be content to "live off the Collective." No, instead they will use this downtime to rest, to learn, to think, to experiment, to formulate new proposals, address new markets, create new solutions to old problems. They will soon return to on-contract status and contributing kinetic energy to our economy.
     However, these patterns also recognize that people cannot rejuvenate themselves if they are cold, hungry, and wearing rags. They will not strive to regain economic liquidity if they are condemned, scorned, and rejected.
     So, these patterns, which have been included in nearly all Continental Pattern Languages, except Gagarin's, discuss being out-of-work from a very positive perspective, comparing it to a field let lie fallow, an athlete resting after an endurance contest, and so on. We should all realize that almost everyone in our society will be out-of-work at one time or another, particularly considering the project-contract-combine approach on which our economy is founded. While we should all focus on resuming work as soon as possible, we should also sympathize with those living gong-she and give them the benefit of the doubt.
      I will elaborate more of this underlying philosophy as I discuss the individual patterns.
     Let us first examine the Spread-the-Load Pattern, which burdens combines on-contract to pay for zhee-tely off-contract —
