Όλοι πάσχετε από A.D.D.; Вы начинаете в остервенении и кладете над 100 столбами к этой резьбе в меньш чем 24 часе. Dan negeer het volledig voor volgende 24. Se eu não começasse minha lingüeta batida na porta eu estaria gritando em você todo. And I mean it.

Glad you're back Gokul. Those guys were looking like they were getting pretty rowdy talking all those funny languages over there. :biggrin:

So, I've been wondering, with a name like Suggestion Box, is this one of those trendy singles bars, or a strip club? It just struck me that's an excellent name for a strip club. Maybe I'm overdressed. :smile:

Yup, got the one bottle I stole off of you, as you were passing out.

How do you drink it ?

Straight, as fast as I can. Oddly, unlike most hard alcohols, it gets harder to drink the most you have. Usually the more drunk you are, the easier it gets, but with grey goose it gets harder. weird. But still good.

This is no place of ill repute. This is strictly a place for intellectual giants to discuss the most important developments in science and technology...

...here's your tequila shot : bottoms up ! :-p

You're obviously not from the US. Whorehouses are places of high society by comparison.

There's an ancient saying in India, that advises of the benefits of walking past the doorway of a whorehouse.

The reason this spot is considered "beneficial" is because people shed their good values before entering a whorehouse. (metaphorical)

i was just referring to the fact that mainstream us culture (especially hollywood actors, and all politicians) abhor anything intellectual more than they fear the flesh-eating disease.

Oh, that place can get pretty hairy. At times, it's like a densely packed minefield. :eek:

Haven't I told you all, no tequila! Pass the Grey Goose! *glug glug*

Who turned up the heat in here?

(BTW - I like that saying Gokul, about walking near the door because that's where people shed their morals, LOL! If you know of any place where people leave extra sanity lying around, I'm running low on that lately too.)

Sure ! Just wave your cursor over the link to Politics (but don't even accidentally click it). People seem to shed their sanity before entering there. :wink:

Oh, I'm sorry about the tequila. :redface: <throwing it away...and positioning open mouth along its trajectory>

Here's your vodka. :smile:
