  • I'm having a hard time believing that sionnach didn't know what this was, so I checked to see the WeirdNet definition, and it's not even HERE!!

    anyway... here is your road rash, sionnach (well, not HERE, but click on "image search" if you dare, and Wikipedia's very informative). And may you never suffer even the slightest bit of it.

  • Well, thanks for bringing up the question. It seems anathema not to have it somewhere on Wordie.
