A Welcome thread for GD refugees in this, their time of need!

[BigMcLargehuge]

Welcome to the lounge! Tin foil hats are over by the taco bar, the jukebox has been programmed to only play hyperbolic music, those who wish to self flagellate are welcome to take one of the chains down from the wall of pain (on loan from our BDSM loungers), we have snacks over by the big TV that only plays Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, and Lost on DVD (sorry, Lounge news blackout is still in effect). Feel free to pull up an overstuffed chair, or a space on the red shag carpet (please use a coaster for your Zomby Coffee, or custom martini's courtesy of Matcom).

I realize that the lounge is a strange place with a strange vibe for you, but we will try and make things as comfy as possible. Please try and refrain from lashing out at those who speak to you, we care much less about your feelings on the war in Iraq as we do about your favorite recipe for egg drop soup. We care much more about your favorite TV show than we do about your favorite protest graphics.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here and I will try and help ease your transition back into the leisure society.

Again, welcome.

3. "big TV that only plays Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, and

Lost on DVD."

You forgot the perpetual Original Star Trek video jukebox.

;)

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. we had to replace that

with the Hyperbole Jukebox to try and normalize our new guests. However, I think we can have a drinking game based around well known Trek quotes... Call it something like Sorian Brandy Trivia Challenge.

Want to organize it?

[Hugin]

13. Close enough...

"Me?!?! Organize?!?! I'm a doctor not a cruise director, Jim!"

Good start?

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. we make do with what we have

pretend to be cruise director or find me someone who can do the job dammit!

[matcom]

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. They do know that I'm not giving up my chair to any of them, right?

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. you're supposed to be dressed as an old-time movie theater usher

to help welcome out new friends from across the barbed wire and shell holes... We had to put your chair in the storage room for the time being (it's an expensive item and we don't want to replace it, or have flung excrement steam cleaned from it).

[JimmyJazz]

we also have an Authentic Toltec Crystalline Butt Plug, that I've heard helps relieve tension (though I haven't used it myself as it's always checked out). Here is a picture of Ruprekt the Saint of the DU Lounge to help you adjust -
