Oubliette - (noun, french) a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad.
This is my personal place to rant and rave like the lunatic I am, my oubliette. It's dark, quiet, and I come here to forget about things. Or maybe to remember them. After all, where does insanity end, and insight begin?

How about the name that some of his fans have given him ... Panzer Pope, Natzinger .... oh! the list goes on!
One of my favorites is B16.0.
One of my friend's co-workers was saying "He was in that cult... ya know, the one where they have lots of wives..."
"Mormons?"
"No, no, I'll know it when you say it..."
Later, after consultation with a different co-worker, "Hitler Youth? That can't be what she's talking about." "I bet it is."
A few minutes later, to the first coworker, "Nazis?"
"Yeah, that's the one, where they have lots of wives..."
I swear, some people are a waste of good oxygen.
