If that's the Saloon Bar, then what is this? The bathroom or the back alley? Toast 17:29, 11 January 2009 (EST)

I have decided:it's the back alley. Toast 17:40, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Probably a repositry for piss and vomit. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 17:42, 11 January 2009 (EST)
And for fightin' ? Toast 17:51, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Eggsakly; Toast 17:50, 11 January 2009 (EST)
BTW, Genghis,I like it (the saloon bar). How come we've never had one before? Toast 17:50, 11 January 2009 (EST)
I don't know, but there has been an increasing number of "I don't know where to post this" entries clogging up WIGO:CP which resulted premature archiving of active threads. Also the Main-Page_talk doesn't seem appropriate for things that people just want to comment on but are not site-related. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 18:04, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Are minors allowed in this here saloon? Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 17:54, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Of course, but they can only have a sasparilla. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 18:04, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Sidebar

Should we add this to the nav sidebar? Phantom Hoover 16:51, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah, I think that's a good idea, it would give it a chance of actually being used. DogP 17:17, 11 January 2009 (EST)
It is done! Toast 17:35, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. Please! Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 17:37, 11 January 2009 (EST)

How do we decide which conversations take place in the saloon bar & which ones in the back alley? WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 18:27, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Conversations about the saloon bar take place in the back alley? Toast 18:30, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Ah, the old days. It reminds me of when CP was the saloon bar, and RW1 was the back alley. By the way, too bad the way the sidebar works is so fucking clumsy, I wanted to add "and the back alley" to the saloon link, but it failed as expected. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:47, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Saloon bar

I wouldn't be seen dead in a saloon bar. That's for golfers, tories and similar vermin. Can we call it the snug instead? Totnesmartin 04:42, 12 January 2009 (EST)

The snug's for the old ladies (Ena and Minnie). Also saloon is a reference to US wild west bars. We can't be too UK-centric about our terminology. As for saloon or lounge v. public bars, well most places I go to only have one bar nowadays. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 05:31, 12 January 2009 (EST)
See you here then Martin, in the back alley, next to the dumpster. Toast s.png(with cheese)talk to Toast 05:34, 12 January 2009 (EST)
Great! Mine's a pimm's. </irony> 08:50, 12 January 2009 (EST) Totnesmartin

As far as American Western references go calling it a saloon bar is redundant and seems disfluent. Saloons are more or less bars and vice-versa. Why not the Coven or something as a nod to the Satanists among us? or the Yert for that Goat herder liet-motif? Exasperate me!Sheesh!Not the most impressive contributor here 14:41, 12 January 2009 (EST)

I'm just striking a balance. The posher pubs in the UK have saloon or lounge bars in contrastto public bars or tap-rooms where there's sawdust on the floor and they play darts or dominoes. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 18:40, 12 January 2009 (EST)
Well, a "saloon" is also a type of car... so that dump on the other side of that door is the bar in the car... Speaking of that stinky dump, can someone sneak in on another nachos raid? We're running low out here. ħumanUser talk:Human 19:03, 12 January 2009 (EST)

We could make it a strip joint... but honestly, I don't think I can fit into my old lingerie anymore... AndyToad.gifNorsemanCyser Melomel 19:34, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Chalkboard

I like the chalkboard, very pub-like. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 07:56, 13 January 2009 (EST)

Cheers. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 08:12, 13 January 2009 (EST)
I've put in a pub sign style header as well now. + A bunch of smileys, which can be removed if people find them too irritating. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 12:51, 13 January 2009 (EST)
The only problem I've got with this now is adding new sections. Can any JS whizzes add a new section button? Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 13:27, 13 January 2009 (EST)
Copy the link at the "+" sign here, edit it, and paste it at the top. I'll do it. ħumanUser talk:Human 13:53, 13 January 2009 (EST)
Yeah, I love it too. But it can only fit so much on before it becomes unusable so perhaps having three or four that are randomly selected? And of course, an editor to trim off spam and old notices, there's nothing worse than a massively out-of-date noticeboard. ArmondikoVmoral 15:02, 13 January 2009 (EST)

(undent) I added __NEWSECTIONLINK__ to the page which adds the plus button like on talk pages. -- Nx talk 08:23, 14 January 2009 (EST)

this page's name

Do we have to call it that? I squirm every time I read it. fröhlich "gay" and "happy" 08:36, 14 January 2009 (EST)

No, change it back to your version. I only changed it for a joke & was expecting it to be reverted straight away. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 08:59, 14 January 2009 (EST)
Done. (& it wasn't my version.) fröhlich "gay" and "happy" 09:11, 14 January 2009 (EST)

When it eventually becomes necessary to archive the page I suggest calling them the Barchives. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 11:43, 14 January 2009 (EST)

Pub Games

I like the addition of background piano music. All it needs now is some kind of add on that will let us play poker in there. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 18:20, 15 January 2009 (EST)

What about chess, for us more 'civilized' types? :-) --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistoris overworked and overbearing 18:36, 15 January 2009 (EST)
I like it when my picture of a glass of Macallan turns up... ħumanUser talk:Human 19:03, 15 January 2009 (EST)
Pick your bar game and maybe I will see what I can do. 216.221.87.112 13:17, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Pool (8 ball) and darts. The classics. ħumanUser talk:Human 14:04, 16 January 2009 (EST)
I don't think it's wise to mix pointy things, sticks, and angry people...  : ) Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 14:56, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Dominoes, cribbage & shove-ha'penny. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 15:02, 16 January 2009 (EST)

Am I the only one who likes bridge? Perfect pub card game, really. The dummy, who sits out each hand, is free to get the next round without delaying play. DickTurpis 15:18, 16 January 2009 (EST)

We can always play Conservopoly (add <conservopoly /> to a page), or Mornington Crescent. Phantom Hoover 15:27, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Was an actual playable version of Conservopoly actually made? DickTurpis 16:39, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Pocket billiards, sofa rugby or hide the sausage?  Lily Ta, wack! 15:52, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Er, "sofa rugby"? Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 15:55, 16 January 2009 (EST)
