'Bug' is officially used to refer to a subset of beetles I think, otherwise in common use it's a catch-all for any annoying small arthropod.

"Bug" refers to insects that have piercing mouthparts such as assassin bugs or bed bugs.

Huh, that makes sense. Also makes it an amusingly arbitrary distinction that cuts across classifications.

Sort of - someone who knew the bar owners from that episode popped up in the TVIV thread and filled people in on all the lovely stuff the production did behind the scenes, like installing a tap system that was illegal in their state. The host re-styled the bar as "Corporate," targeted at the white collar happy hour crowd, but apparently there weren't any office workers in that area and the whole thing was a disaster.

the pirate bar that they turned back to a pirate bar after it left and then it went bankrupt anyway and closed

iirc it wasn't so much taps, but they had some sort of self-service drink mixers and you couldn't do that in maryland

That and the the whole thing started with lowtax leaving planetquake or whatever to write mostly pc game-based humor. Well, games and ambien-based humor.

And it's still difficult to keep game chat from invading other serious internet business here on these forums so much so that they had to create imp zone as a compromise.

I followed Lowtax here from PlanetQuake, which is pretty crazy because it was more than half of my life ago now.

this doesn't seem like any worse of an idea than a pirate themed bar in Maryland. gotta do that poo poo somewhere that there is actual pirate culture or tourists to sucker in.

I always figured he restyled the bar as Corporate as basically a gently caress you on the way out the door because of how massively unprofessional and dickheaded the pirate bar owners were

The bar even turned itself back into a pirate bar (complete with posting their burning of the Corporate sign on Facebook as a big "gently caress you" to the show)....and promptly failed 3 years later. They were still blaming Taffer for it as they closed.

The bar only existed for 8 years total, and a lot of its Yelp reviews after the switch back to Piratz were negative. I think they were limping along in the red before finally giving up and not renewing the lease.

A pirate bar sounds like some dire poo poo but anyone who tries to bill a bar as "Corporate" should be taken out back and shot
