Yes, it's that activity that cannot be described using words, so it won't. Show up, order a drink, admire the naughty artwork overhead, and take comfort in the likelihood that you won't suffer dementia like anyone who doesn't take that all-important step towards moderate alcohol consumption.

(http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/healthscience/134395519_booze25 0.html) We will NOT be doing anything related to The Fonz, or those yellow happy-face stickers that the originator still doesn't get royalties for, or any other of a host of Happy Days type games where you're supposed to be outwardly happy, but instead are deep down inside terribly miserable because you still don't understand why happiness only seems to come to those who play shallow bar games. So don't worry, be sanguine, and remember that you'll be releasing your daily requirement of acetylcholine.

Bring your own distractions.
