Yup. She'll be training the women in special techniques.

You remembered.

ProfessorDave, I just saw my "ball" slip and hoped I'd be able to correct it before anyone noticed. That was definitely a Freudian slip. In the 6th gear lounge even they are allowed though.

I thought it was hysterical (which, by the way, literally means "wandering uterus" which doesn't sound funny at all). A lounge where verbal faux pas are welcomed sounds like just one more reason why I need to get into 6th gear (well, that and the gourmet quisine, which I thought was already covered by the earlier posts about the endless supply of bacon).

Actually, the verbal faux pas are more for the PI thread ... well most of the time.

The lounge has its secret rooms which ... well you don't know what you dont know until you do know.

That, in fact, also connects with Freud and his contributions to our wonderful wacky world. In Victorian Vienna it was believed women were subject to a disease called hysteria. Treatment was to pack the uterus with ice. Ever the progressive thinker, Freud blazed new trails, theorizing that hysteria is caused by repressed memories of really really bad family relations.

We, the proud and few, who inhabit the 6th gear lounge make much better use of ice and have much better NAM family relationships. More ice for my scotch, Withers, snap to! You just can't get good help these days.

ATTENTION ALL LOUNGERS: There is a rumor circulating that some NAM'ers are creating bogus threads in hopes of enhancing their own post counts and thus gaining accellerated entrance to the lounge. Commander Hahnsie has been notified and will investigate. Volunteers are needed for a "Blue Ribbon Panel" to administer necessary punishment. Applications are available in the Penthouse gaming room.
