I wonder how many words there are in English for a brothel. (brodello, whorehouse, and?)
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

chicken ranch? That puts a whole nother spin on Frank Purdue's business, doesn't it?

I find crib somewhat disturbing.
And stew?

Yeah, I'm a little unclear on "stew" as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crib is old -- I know I just read it in a story about gold-rush era Alaska.

If I only had a brain...
Stew is old, too; I think it's in Shakespeare.

It makes me want to say "Pimp my crib" which would be oddly appropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think this board would make an interesting sociology study
Not much more then any other boards, I don't think. That above discussion happens on web sites, USENET, mailing lists -- it's the nature of the beast. We're so unspecial.

One of the things I really enjoy at this point is observing a community, where I used to be super active, but now I lurk except for a very small private thread.
In observing, I see that the same people have the same arguments on repeat. Some of the scandals change, otherwise it's all groundhog day.
Nature of the beast, I'd assume.
