    It's a place for a light hearted chat, sexual innuendo, thinly veiled racism, and wild accusations. Just like your local.

    Cause its only open between 7pm and 8am

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It keeps most of the messers on boards distracted and in the one place.

    Its a bit like quarantine really
