Welcome to the Black Hole Saloon! Here in the main room visitors drink
and exchange views on romance. Everybody can be an authority because
nobody really knows. If you're not too far gone, you can stay and join
the discussion. But be civilized please. No whiners and no screamers,
please. If this sounds good to you, then sit down! have a drink! If
you're shy, then have two drinks. It will make things easier.
If you're too sad to talk, go to the Crying Room. There you can listen
to Hank Williams or Patsy Cline on the juke box ("There's a tear in my
beer..."). Suzy the inflatable doll waits in the corner to console the
inconsolable.
Or if you're too pissed off, go to the Screamers Room. Here you can
hear shouts of "chauvinist pig!" and "feminazi!". The radio alternates
between the Rush Limbaugh Show and assorted camille Paglia interviews.
Camille herself will show up from time to time to punch out angry
white males.
But back to the main room! Our thought for the day comes from Lynda
Barry, creator of Ernie Pook's Comeek:
"CUPID IS A MONSTER FROM HELL!"
Have another drink!
