Merger?

I thought that The Lounge™ is in the midst of a secret hostile takeover of The Penalty Box.

This needs to be cleared up fast.

Who is in charge of mergers and acquisitions here in The Lounge™?

WARNING WARNING

The aforementioned take over of the Penalty Box is completely false (despite the fact that increased gas here has lowered gas prices nationally).

Further, it is a confirmed sitting that a new group of lounge entrants will be coming to The Delta Lounge™, but further information will only be made to the moderators who will then update all those waiting to take off on various flights (of fancy and other silken threads).

Thank you for your attention.

Please calmly return to your drinks, remembering at all times, NO ONE is to wear unsightly green speedos publically in the lounge.

I heard the other boxers were posting here so I thought I would enter the lounge and relax for a while.

Boxing day isn't for three weeks, so you are required to keep posting here steadily until then to accumulate enought points and clicks for Elite Lounge Status.

Then, after Boxing Day passes, you'll find you have to keep posting here to maintain status. Welcome to the DL Lounge- it's like the Hotel California, now that you are here you can never leave.

Can I offer you a drink? Snacks? Coffee? Just don't look to closely into the lounge corners...they can be a bit scary.

Now baglady can see the real difference. Over there it is not possible to get a non-alcoholic beverage or even any food. Everybody is moving too quickly to stop and waste time on stuff such as that.
