What is 'Batinage'?

Thumbing through the dictionary, I came upon "badinage" which means "playful banter." For some reason, it just seemed better with a "t." The "Salon" part results from me taking too many years of French literature. Salons were places where people went to chat about the meaning of fine and literary art and to philosophize..... Coffehouses today wish they could be salons.

a GOC section
some exercises to help your lifestyle be gothi-er
a playlist of songs I'd like to hear covered
a page about working while wearing all black
a list of some books I love (of think I will)
