Nothing is really 'a thing' here - or at least nothing is required. Choose to imbibe the cookies and other delicacies as you choose - though I'd ask that if you do partake in consuming the words others have spoken here that you in turn write down your own. Its a bit of a potluck, and if no one shows up with food, we all go hungry!
But yeah, welcome welcome. I always find it interesting to see how people ended up finding this place.
