Do Meta posts about Meta belong in The Lounge?

Or do posts complaining about posts complaining about Meta complaining about the Lounge belong in Meta?

Or do posts complaining about posts complaining about the Lounge complaining about Meta posts belong in Religion?

I'm confused. Or bemused?

And can I alert on my own posts? Or do I have to ask someone else to do it? Or do I have to ask someone else to ask a third party to do it?

I was less confused in high school - I think.

And if this gets moved, can I join the Brotherhood of the Perpetually Offended? Which would mean spending money for laudanum, a fainting couch and some pearls to clutch.

And anyone who I haven't offended, I'm truly sorry.

Only the deft hand of those of us in the DU Lounge can handle that shit.

I'm serious.

Same as it ever was.

Or you'll start talking about Meta.

And what's the first rule of Meta-Club?

You don't talk about Meta-Club (or breast feeding).

It's a chain, but there might be a different chain, a better crappy chain, that serves Italian(ish)...

Hmmm.....

The Meta Lounge? Where there is perpetual outrage.

And this could be Lounge Classic? Where there is perpetual fun and breast feeding, smoking pit bulls eating kudzu salad and cornflake breaded fried chicken at the Olive Garden.
