I just wanted to post to keep the “Ain’t Rasa cool” vibe alive.

So, ain’t Rasa cool? Viscious, but cool. Territorial, but cool. 😃

BTW, “vicious” is one of those words I habitually mispell. That and “definitely,” which always comes out “definately.”

I’m in agreement with you Nym. She’s pretty fucking cool. Even took me on a tour of Woonystack, or wheverever the hell she lives.

Woonsocket! It’s Woonsocket! It means “the beautiful place” in Wampanoag ‘eun’ meaning ‘beautiful’, and ‘aucket’ being the locative case. Put 'em together and you get the Frenchized “Woonsocket”.

Does that make me a geek if I know the locative case of a Wampanoag word?

God I forgot about this thread, Nym dredged it back up!

But yeah, I’m pretty hardcore. 😉
