RACK (Change R to K, scramble 'em up putting the last K in front for:
KACK ~mountain biking slang term
quote:

kack n. an injury to the shin received while doing trials, a kack can be the result of any injury receive during technical riding.


Sypher kicked me so hard for stretching the boundaries of his game, he left a wound a lot like a kack.

Just wondering what happened to everyone else that plays !!
Anyway...I have given JW & BL the points for the same entry as it was posted exactly the same time....1 minute out either side would have resulted in one entry being invalid.

So the scores look a little something like this .....

JabberWock........108
Bridelady..........90
Sypher.............72
Mamaja.............24
eyeball............20

Well, I was going to jump in here, but after 20 minutes, I call KAZBEK "Impossible to Play Off". Could that be the first I.P.O?

I pass...
