Well I just figured out what the Lounge is......
It's a giant cocktail party....

Flitting from one conversational area to another, going in, glib, non committal behavior, flirtation.....

But no drunken swimming pool scene.....

If we could work that out, it would be like a giant Jack Lemmon Movie from the fifties.....

41. I really think that the Lounge is a better place than than, my dear CG!
I hate like anything to be contrary, but all of you need to know that I do have a contrary, snarky side! I'm not ALWAYS angelic! :evilgrin:

The Lounge is my "virtual" home. There's love here, intellectual content, humor, anger and all the range of human emotions. There is, above all, a genuine sense of community, a sense that we are all here for each other in our need.

These two, the love and the community, have brought me here, and they will keep me here forever.

I speak from my heart....

78. The lounge can be dangerous
I don't venture too often since I'm deathly afraid of losing my pants.

:scared:

89. Arrivederci!
Cato has been crying all night, it's best you go now to comfort the lion before he wakes... the lights will be turned off after the third rising of the north star.

88. Actually it's mad, bad and dangerous to know.
Kind of like Byron, but without the poetry, incest and laudanum :)

Khash.

91. aw, now i'm homsick!!!
I spent a good part of 1991 working the beer cellar of a very good London pub. nothing like the sight of freshly-racked casks, with the soft spile in the top.

too bad you can't see it in these pics, but if you get a particularly lively, well-fermenting cask, you'll see a mini "beer fountain" coming out through the spile on the top. the soft spiles are typically made from bamboo, and the excess CO2 produced by the secondary fermentation is forced out through the pores in the spile, and bubbles and squirts out when you do the conditioning.

this is all beer-wonk talk though and probably doesn't make any sense. but thanks for the GREAT trip down memory lane! :D

93. Aw, you had to say that when I'm SBD Phase One-ing it.
No cocktails for me tonight. Guess I'll just sit back and watch all the drunks make fools out of themselves. Or the fools make drunks out of themselves. Whichever. ;)

97. It's the top!
It's the Coliseum.
It's the top!
It's the Louver Museum.
It's a melody from a symphony by Strauss
It's a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
It's Mickey Mouse.
It's the Nile,
It's the Tower of Pisa,
It's the smile on the Mona Lisa
CD's a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, CD's the bottom you're the top!
