Totally on topic, because it really does grind my gears, try the last corner at Laguna Seca

You only typed the word "rap" once-- fail!
Though I guess Fred Durst could be considered a rapper...
Oh, and "swag" as a term has been around for a couple centuries, and was popular in the criminal underground in the 1920s and '30s, as I recall.

You're not a liver lover are you?

 

[no one]

You recall the 20's and 30's? Just how many of those nine lives have you spent?

Jealous! I would love to drive that track for real. Another one I'd love to do is Spa. Although I'd probably kill myself going through 'Eau Rouge'!

My secret shame is reading The Shadow pulps...

A Swag is a curtain that drapes in a downward arc between two points. Been around for years for decorators.

I thought it was a Stupid Wild Ass Guess.

 

[Dngrsone]

Actually, Scientific Wild Ass Guess.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Old carols.

 

[Dngrsone]

Yeah! My neighbor Carol is like, 100 years old! Annoying as all get-out.

I was thinking Renaissance. Imagine doing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in Latin.

Man oh man, I was about to post something before I realized how truly inappropriate it was, funny but NSFW. Too bad you don't receive PM's. I understand you can't though, because there's no one to receive them.

I'm surprised that the company hasn't tried to expunge the word.

Ever been robbed at gunpoint? Boy, that'll wake you up. Better than coffee I think.

It's not called British Aerospace anymore?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I was robbed at knife point by girls. I was 12 at the time and there where two of them.

 

[no one]

Did you tell yourself not to panic?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I didn't jump off the platform. So yeah, I didn't panic.

 

[Bg260]

I was actually quite calm. Surprisingly. Instinctively attempting to talk my way out of the situation.


Edit: Gunpoint was an embellishment, let's just say a firearm was brandished.

Wed. was the pits. Nothing went right. Had a USB stick with pics from this year's trip to Moab fry when I went to do calendar. Other things went wacky, too.

The one good thing was the MotoXPE. I had used it to take pics in Utah and got it to download said pics on Linux Mint. From there to pffline XP desktop. Saved this year's calendar.
