The bongo drums would have kicked ass. The bad, angst-filled poetry? Not as much.

11. That's so weird to see the forum like that.
I think The Lounge suits this forum.

14. Would The Cafe have coffee?
I would go out of my way to avoid The Commons - every university on the planet has apparently decided that calling it the "Commons" is a way to remake a room full of random furniture into a cutting edge social/study 'space' and it's making me :puke:

16. No but Will's suggestion of "Romper Room" may have been more appropriate.
Ha. I'd forgotten about that thread. Crazy.
