Well, if I were the Lounge Czar, I would. What topics would be off-limits in the lounge, if you could devise the rules?

4. I think Israel/Palestine posts might dampen the mood a little.
I might reserve them for their own separate sub-Lounge folder labeled something like, oh, I dunno, I/P?

6. Does a poster named "Placebo" have any right to complain about Oasis?

Nooooooooooo cat pics. Ever.

My favorite cat quotes all come from my hero, John Bickerson (played by the late, great Don Ameche).

from "The Bickersons":

Blanche: Stop waving that oil can around; it's pouring all over the seat. Wipe it up, John.
John: Okay, hand me the cat.
============================

John: A fine place to sleep, on a cot in the kitchen!
Blanche: Well, what's wrong with it?
John: There isn't enough room in here to swing a cat!
Blanche: You leave the cat alone!
John: I never touched the cat!
=====================================================

Blanche: At night, you won't talk because you're too sleepy. In the morning, you swallow your coffee, kick the cat and go to work!
=====================================================================

Blanche: Come on out from under that car - I want to talk to you.
John: What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?
Blanche: Where's Nature Boy?
John: Who's Nature Boy?
Blanche: The cat! I haven't seen him all morning; I think he ran off.
John: He didn't run off; he's under the car with me.
Blanche: Where?
John: Right here.
Blanche: John, that black alley cat isn't ours; Nature Boy has a golden coat.
John: That's him - I've been petting him.
Blanche: You mean you've been wiping your hands on him.
John: Okay, so I've been wiping my hands on him; I couldn't find a rag.
Blanche: You oughta be ashamed of yourself! Look at that poor thing! It looks like he fell into a tar pit.
John: Well, he had no business to come sniffin' around while I was drainin' the oil. Put him in the washing machine.
Blanche: If you weren't a sane man, I'd really believe you want to do away with him!
John: How can you say a thing like that?
Blanche: You don't fool me, John Bickerson. I know what happened to the other cat we had.
John: What other cat?
Blanche: The big grey one, Joy Boy.
John: Joy Boy?
Blanche: You know, the one you said committed suicide after you caught him in the liquor closet.
John: He *did* commit suicide, Blanche. Cats have been known to commit suicide.
Blanche: They don't *hang* themselves!
John: He didn't hang himself. He got his neck tangled in a ball of string, and I was trying to unloosen it when you walked in. Don't start makin' me into a cat killer!
Blanche: You stop using Nature Boy for a grease rag.
======================================================================

11. No Capital L's ... EVER
... unless they are the first letter of the first word in a sentence, or unless they are the first letter of a proper name, or unless they are part of an acronym.
