A gun is a gun....not a spoon.

I agree but you're going to make the boys in the tree-house club mad for not using the secret decoder ring word.

Also,
If I haven't mentioned it, there must be some kind of rule for Excellence Magazine writer. It seems like the word "bespoke" shows up constantly.

It's not hard to figure out the code..just stupid to use it.

LOL! I get it. When I first came here I though there was some prohibition against using the word "gun" so they created a secret substitute.

I can't pin point the time, but there was some discussion about the word "gun" popping up frequently and the web crawlers picking up on it as well as the NSA given the rise in alert sensitivity.

No joke, some girls I knew back in the 70's were at the local airport and one spoke of a 'bomb' in casual conversation. They were whisked away immediately. It turned out OK, but a major hassle.

The point being why use trigger words when something else will do? Any single person who engaged in a conversation here about a (spoon) is in a database somewhere.

That was probably when the rash of high jackings was in high gear. They didn't have screening back then so they took what you said rather seriously.

Black cars..... ugh, can't stand that color. You couldn't give me a black car. And, wanna know another thing, I LOVE Guards Red. I even proved my own theory a few years ago. I was given a black Nissan SUV for free *great car, btw*. I sold it and bought the same SUV in a different color.

Did I mention I HATE black!

I was cussing my 911 last time I cleaned it. Then promptly got it dirty again. Doesnt help that there is 50 feet of wet uphill grass between the driveway and garage. Interiors are just as bad. The carpets atleast dont go one drive without gathering every spec of debris they can get their hooks on. I didnt intentionally get a black car but beggers cant be choosers
