  - Ok, I love me some White Castle...but even I wouldn't want to smell that shit all day long. -- nm - ???? Mar 17, 10:27

  - Also, coffee places are traditionally places for conversation and having exchange of ideas, right? So I really dispute the idea that - con_carne Mar 17, 10:50 9
    - these days the only conversation you hear is the tap tap of smart phones as everyone stares down at their own -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Mar 17, 11:05
