What do you think is in the 6th Gear lounge?

It has been rumored (over in the "How Many Posts" thread) that a special lounge exists for those who reach 6th gear. I am wondering what other lower-geared NAMers think might be in the lounge . This is also a chance for those in 6th gear to taunt us with the fun times they've had in the exclusive lounge .

My interests are mainly selfish...If I reply enough times to my own thread, I'll get into 6th and then the lounge!

So here goes: I think there are big cushy chairs and couches, with bowls of unlimited buffalo wings and Chex Mix right next to every seat. I think they have live bands everyday, like U2, the Stones, and Aerosmith. I think Courtney Love is not allowed in the lounge but Dave Grohl is. I think Jimmy Hoffa is there. I think the drinks are free (but only in moderation ), and when you drive in, everyone knows your name!

Actually, in the 6th gear lounge, we prefer our bacon to be a little chewy.

The burnt crispy stuff is sent down to the 5th gear lounge. . .

I just have one request. Let's please please PLEASE never again have "Saved By The Bell Reunion Night". That was just a little too creepy for me.

There is a very nice Abusement Park out back. Let's not forget the dawn til dusk "Dance of Devotion" either...a favorite of the ladies.

Your intuition was pretty good until that statement. As the banner (CR/W) says. "Moderation in No Things".

LB, I think you would have appreciated the Saved By the Bell reunion if Paris hadn't crashed it. I know she was hitting on you pretty heavy. What an obnoxious tart.

Hey did the new budget ever get approved? I wanted to get some new chairs and order the new 75 inch HD TV and 7.1 Surround system.

I think the current 60 inch TV is looking a little small.

BTW, I just got the architect's drawings for the proposed addition. Right now we're looking at a 4,000 square foot addition that will include a new weight room, media center, and swimming pool...

Oh and don't forget the new parking struture. All 6th gear members will now have assigned parking, your space will be designated by a 4ft by 6ft brass plaque mounted on the wall in front of your space. Please contact me by this Sunday for your space assignment. No worries as all spaces are within 40 feet of an elevator.

I think Elvis has enjoyed enough smoothies in the lounge and should stay out for awhile.

6th Gear Lounge?...ppfffftt! It's not a lounge! They all sit around a campfire telling tales of what it was like to just barely get out of 1st Gear!!!!

"When I was in First Gear premium gasoline was $1.15 a gallon..."

I had heard such great things about the Lounge, I toiled day and night to reach 6th Gear. It only took me 66 days. And boy was it worth it. They have an exact replica of the Nurburgring. The selection of beer from all over the world. And the food will have you wanting to eat every meal there.

They don't ball him sndwave "Blitzkreig" colonelparker for nothing. He comes from nowhere leaving a path of gore and destruction in his wake. At least take solace that Elvis will not be allowed in again until he wears pants over what's way to apparent.

Should we consider that a Freudian Slip?! It does kind of look like the last stages of a breach-birth!

Dont forget the pool boys. There are lots of pool boys. The 6th gear ladies love to have their fruity drinks served poolside by the pool boys.

Oh yeah, it's also perpetually summer by the 6th gear lounge pool. In winter, there is great skiing at the mountain resort just west of the amusement park.

Now, hold on, not so fast...let's find out what benefits come with the position of pool boy! Maybe that's how I'll get into the lounge!
(great Austen Powers reference by the way...love the quote from Seinfeld in your signature, too)

Be sure to see the autographed photo portraits of each member initiated into the Lounge, which have been mounted for display in the Hall of Flame!! The Crystal Paddle always brings out the "best" in each new member!

Pass the smoked oysters!

Now I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but assistance in the 6th gear lounge is primarily provided by newbies and 1st gears who have been specifically chosen, because of the potential they've displayed, to be groomed for eventual 6th gear lounge leadership. If you haven't already been chosen, you'll have to earn your way in like the rest of us: pick fights with others in the mods forums, indulge your inner joker by becoming an OT All-Star, or tell us what you had for breakfast everyday in the How Many Posts thread.

Now this is some advice I can use!

Initiated? There's an initiation? Maybe I'd better rethink my goal...
