Around 2004/2005, there was a thread that Grande Dame Romana & I populated consistently with the occasional other Babbler's poking their heads & thoughts in. I think she worked the bar & I ran the dj booth (usually the song would be in line with something that was currently being discussed), but there was also a few barflies. In the thread, you could be yourself or a persona of your mind's creation. Flirt, play pinball, darts or pool, drink, watch a cult classic on the TV in the corner, be merry and try not to ruin anybody else's day. So belly up, order a drink and pontificate about whatever is on your mind. (As this goes along, if it flies at all, we may need to refine things.)

Every time I see this guy, I think "Drunken Teenage Tarantino".

Next, you'll be telling me I could call it "Tsar Bar".

Circa 2004-2005, maybe. Only lasted a few weeks before Karen shut it down. Pretty innocuous. Essentially pretending a particular thread was a local dive bar.

While not entirely true (they already had the music), they did write the lyrics because of the line.

As I recall, that was dropped on [asmb] because it was an rpg. Not sure I really want to bother. NP: Mary Hopkin "Those Were The Days".

Not much, but it's something...

That was the point - "Willy's Jeep" is the grandaddy of them all.

WILLY - and no it's not a Simpsons reference.
