And a free "Get out of jail" card if you can also mention wet ping pong balls while simultaneously chugging a beer!

Have you seen Winona Ryder's ping pong ball trick?

LOL! Yes, and it's very impressive! I think the muscle control comes from years of hiding shoplifted merchandise.

I've been watching Friday the 13th the series. And I realize that the show and characters Ryan and Micki paved the way for Mulder and Scully and X-Files.

From demon curses to alien abductions.

. . . no, nothing to do with these forums . . . nothing at all . . .

But the way I heard this story, there were 20 or 30 people who came into the bar every once in a while, harassing other patrons who enjoyed these conversations despite the bartender's restrictions. Some of the "20 or so" developed a plan to force some of the patrons they didn't like out of the bar by lying to the liquor commission about what was going on in the bar, and what the people, who these plotters disliked, did outside the bar.

Ironically, some of the patrons who were the target of this plot had been asked by the bartender to keep an eye on this group of 20+ people. These watchers found out about the plot and helped the bartender stop it, so that the bar could continue to provide its unique service. Rather than be happy with this, the bartender tightened his rules and ignored the very people who helped uncover the plot! And now, as you have pointed out, "the humanity and spontaneity" is gone and the conversations are fewer, guarded, and mostly uninteresting.

That's the same story. I posted the short version because people these days have short attention spans.

I will have coffee while Milla sits on her wooden box.

I'm starting to see why this thread grows so slowly. It's an illusion created by heavy handed Houdini masters.

....with elbows. What color do you think Milla's box should be painted?
