There was a great 24 hour pool hall just down the street from the Messenger-Inquirer building (where I was working nights). It started serving beer at 6 a.m. - about the time I got off most of the time. I did a few 36 hour shifts there. Computer geeks don't need no stinkin' sleep, mon. Then I'd go drink beer and shoot pool.
