I just can't think of anything or clever, intriguing, disruptive,
thought provoking or annoying to post here in the Lounge tonight.

Or anything related to cats, music, photos, weather, sex, sports or personal drama.

I can't think of a riddle or joke, or a cute story or even a link to a damn youtube video.

And I don't know shit about politics.

I feel as though I'm slacking at my duties as a Lounge member.

Can I be penalized for this under the Lounge rules?

Can they take my Lounge card away?

Will this appear on my credit report?

19. Where do you live, and are you looking for roommates?
The best my town has to offer is the Homeless Overpass by Tough Luck Buster Creek.

It's a tough town, let me tell ya.....

25. Well, we have the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins.
Ok, the Bruins haven't won anything in a long time, but our college hockey teams kick ass. Does that count? :)

37. That's not much of an entry.
My friends made up a better one than that on their last LSD tripout. Just don't try to verify the info.... ;)

20. Depends on where you live as to what priorities pedestrians get.
In Houston (and Texas, for that matter) pedestrians serve as targets to help the motorists aim for where they are going :P

The handful of pedestrian bridges here are more for people that don't have cars, than to facilitate things like, oh, walking to lunch and back, instead of driving two-tenths of a mile to get to all the eateries on the other side of the freeway from the office buildings. You know, intelligent design like that...

23. I'll never forget the story from the 80's....
A motorcyclist decided to cut traffic by driving between rows of traffic, so someone shot at him. My kind of place..... :eyes:

:D

28. That's worse than I've heard for here.
Of course, it's mostly stupid because he could have just as easily been majorly hurt or killed by a "door prize". (The accounts at the link are rather gruesome...)

32. Well, I suppose that would be the right term for what the motorcyclist did
but not for bicyclists getting killed by inattentive drivers...

17. Good idea for a Google game
Search on the word "bridge" and the name of your town. Post the first picture of a bridge that appears on the Images page.

Here's mine

4. How about "Hairy Pregnant Woman On Acid Fucks A Horse On Glenn Beck's Show"?
No, of COURSE I don't have a link. And it might not be all that clever, but possibly intriguing and definitely disruptive.

On second thought, I probably wouldn't be shocked if that came out as an actual headline.

6. You're not drunk/high enough.
Come back in a couple of hours after you've had a few and you'll think of plenty of off-the-wall topics :P
