There's a secret twist behind the crossing that you can't see.
"I thought about calling Suzuki cuz i called other companies but eff it, I found someone who made shit up that I could launder into a conclusion. I'm done here."
3: I knew someone would say that within 10 comments.
Fair guess, because the internet is full of assholes.
(Obviously, it's not actually a Mobius Strip because it has *two* hidden twists.)
3 beat me to it although I hadn't though of 6. Now draw me a Klein bottle using ASCII.

My driver just got into an accident. Fortunately no one is hurt. And really fortunately for him the other guy doesn't have a license.

To answer affirmatively to my sisters' texts, I'm switching to "So it is written, so let it be done." I feel just a bit like Yul Brynner.
That's nothing. I just asked for directions in a text that began: "Your kindness adorns you like a golden crown, with each kind act you have performed for others like a shining jewel set therein. And though it will not add to your glory in a substantial way, so many are the glittering diamonds and rubies already, yet I hope that this boon, which will aid me greatly, may be granted."
9: There's the "Make it so" option, if you're in more of a Patrick Stuart mood.
Or even better, if you're in a Patrick Stewart mood.
11 would annoy them more because they don't like to be ordered around.

I have zero memory of anyone drawing that thing that looks like the Suzuki logo, ever. But since the article mentioned Saxon, let us remember their immortal words. "Denim, and leather, brought us all together. It was you who set the spirit free."
I remember it being super ubiquitous. Maybe you weren't very metal?
Nothing is more metal than a 45 yr old Saxon fan
I guess I should check and make sure that they're not white supremacists or anything
the University of Middlesex in London
Middlesex is in London? London is in Middlesex?
If only we knew a Saxon who could clarify.
Middlesex was just one of a number of extremely metal territories established by Saxon.
Is London metal? It was very gentrified when I was there. But I guess metalness will be restored in the howling post-Brexit wilderness.
Middlesex is an old name, there is no county called Middlesex anymore. Most of north London is in what used to be Middlesex.
I love that movie, The Intercrural Juror.
there is no county called Middlesex anymore.
Ahem.
there is no county called Middlesex anymore.
Ahem.
28/29:
The county government was abolished in 1997, but the county boundaries continue to describe a state district for court jurisdictions and for other administrative purposes, such as an indicator for elections.
Speaking of metal, Rammstein is coming to Abu Dhabi in December and I will be there.
NOT UNLESS THE ARABS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE IT WON'T!
I assume you're familar with the greatest Rammstein cover band.
It's long been my opinion that metal is superior to hip-hop because both are inherently ludicrous but metal is at least aware that it is ludicrous.
25. There was a curious interlude between the establishment of the GLC and the introduction of post codes in Britain, where there was no such county as Middlesex, but Middlesex continued to be part of the formal postal address of places that had been in it and were outside the old London postal district system.
e.g. 100, High Street, Uxbridge, Non-existent County.
re: 44
Indeed. I was born in said Middlesex. In a place that is technically now Surrey.

re: 24
I don't think you can describe one of the biggest cities in the world as 'gentrified' en masse. There's a pretty big difference between, say, Chelsea, and Tower Hamlets.
Iron Maiden are from London, although obviously, the roots of metal are in the West Midlands. The roots of the heavy blues rock that was the precursor of metal, is pretty London, though.
The old Marshall shop is about 5 minutes walk from my house.
And there are pretty huge differences within Tower Hamlets.
Marshall are in MK now. My BiL had to take a malfunctioning amp into them the other day. They offered to deliver it back to his home in Kent for free, which impressed him.

Which will generally be in order of age, assuming no massive divergences in lovability.
Ajay, you're aware that there's metal other than hair metal, right?
Not really sure what to make of the hip-hop comment either.
49 There's metal which is not ludicrous? (Aging punk here).
I'd say that pretty much all genres of metal except the stupidest fringe of black metal have some sense of humor and of enjoying the ludicrousness, it's one of the best things about the genre. Which isn't to say that fans and musicians don't take the music or the genre seriously but the darkness/sense of humor about the darkness combo has been a feature of metal since Sabbath. It's one of the genre's best features.
(And I wouldn't call Saxon hair metal. I wouldn't call them goood, either, but not really hair metal)
"Genre" used stupidly in two ways there, the second and third are just meant to say "metal people generally donhave a sense of humor about themselves and the music, which is one of the best things about metal."
...which is one of the best things about metal.
I have to agree. It's certainly not the music.
Not really sure what to make of the hip-hop comment either.
I mean that I find most of the hip-hop I encounter to be ludicrous, but very little of it seems to be made by people who share my opinion - they generally seem to take themselves terrifically seriously. Admittedly I don't have a tremendously wide knowledge of the field and there may well be lots of hip-hop out there that is made with a full awareness of its ludicrosity (as is the case with almost all metal, vide supra 52).
More recent American metal has been pretty influenced by hardcore, which is the most "we take our bullshit VERY seriously" genre of them all.
56 is woefully underinformed.
58 is, I suspect, a heterodox interpretation of the text in question.
re: 47
Yes, they have a reputation for continuing good customer service. I have a 60s one, that was presumably made round the corner. One of the ones they branded Park to get around a contract:

59: Have you watched the full video? I'm not sure. (NSFW.)
I'm not sure we have perfect standing to ponder the self-seriousness of metal, though I'll concede RT's point about the Norwegian black metal assholes (they really did murder one another and burn those beautiful old churches and, by modern standards, destruction is the greatest authenticity of all), but let's clap a stopper on the hiphop discussion before we all embarrass our aging honky selves.
This is where I confess that I was most aware of hip-hop in the late eighties (yes, aging honky), but I would have thought of it at that point as a genre that was particularly conscious of being intentionally goofy, at least at times.
60 - we know people whose last name is S/tack and I urged them to name their kid "Marshall." That would have been the best! But my advice was not taken.
Pancake would have been better.
His friends could have called him "Short".
You can never be too old or too honky to mock hip-hop. They bring it on themselves. Here's another.
67 seems like a good example of a comment that wouldn't have been made by someone who took Flippanter seriously (admittedly a challenge).
So I don't take Flippanter seriously? Well, no I don't. I comment as if the content of my comment were to become through my posting a universal excuse for a cock joke.
Everyone I know from high school has not listened to anything new in about 30 years, even by accident. I know this is typical, but I find it disturbing to happen to people I know. (One friend bought the single of Kanye West's "Power", because it sampled King Crimson.)
Sir Mix-a-Lot was obviously dead serious, but I'm not so sure about Kid 'n Play.
(One friend bought the single of Kanye West's "Power", because it sampled King Crimson.)
Greg Lake apparently starts concerts off with "Power" before seguing into "21st Century Schizoid Man".
To answer affirmatively to my sisters' texts, I'm switching to "So it is written, so let it be done."
As I mentioned at the other place, I now begin texts to my daughters with "Hwæt".
But I'm the bad guy when I demand wergild from people on the subway.
I don't recall if you're a lawyer, but you should know that's not the established procedure for obtaining wergild in your state. I recommend better counsel, and perhaps a larger sword.
