Was my last hint too vague? Or is this thread just on the verge of dying a pitiful death? 😛 ---

The combination might be a let down with all this build up, it’s really nothing special. A bunch of dirty laundry that had been cooking in there for quite a while, pot fumes, and a ripped bag of doritos that was in my trunk for quite a while. Thanks for playing! ---
