Some bags seem to last forever. This mountain first aid kit has been with me since 1998.

The contents have been updated and replaced many times but the original zipper still keeps it shut.

Byłem wczoraj na panelu trochę pochodzić w pionie, poziomie i po skosie. Zrobić parę obwodów, pyknąć kilak baldów.

I know a guy who is "off" in some way. He bothers the fuck out of me. Like Dexter/Doakes bothers me. I'm sure he's got ASPD of some flavor
