Hell Itself: the unassigned-media filing room in the bowels of Pepsi Center. No food, no beer, stale air, dull nobodies typing in the afternoon. There's an even-worse "Blogger Lounge" behind this room: It's a dank stinking sweat cave, two rows of tables jammed together, and an angry temp worker who refuses to let you even peep in the airless death chamber unless your cardboard "Blogger Lounge" card is displayed prominently -- which identifies you to the rest of the media as a Total Loser.

They were just doin' lines off Ted Kennedy's stomach and humpin' on Madeleine Albright.
