Quote:

1590s, "slender riding whip," probably from a Flemish or Low German word akin to Middle Dutch swijch "bough, twig," or swutsche, variant of Low German zwukse "long thin stick, switch," from Germanic base *swih- (cognates: Old High German zwec "wooden peg," German Zweck "aim, design," originally "peg as a target," Zwick "wooden peg"), perhaps connected with PIE root *swei- (2) "to swing, bend, to turn."

or something, in current terminology it's more or less a Christian thing:

Quote:

2007, Jeffrey W. Hamilton, Raising Godly Children in a Wicked World:

"A proper switch is a slim, flexible branch off a tree or a bush. A switch applied to the buttocks stings fiercely. It may leave red marks or bruises, but it causes no lasting damage."

Going to be hard to top the ending of the bungles game, but hopefully it'll be a close one too

Also, enough with the "that's the culture" and "my dad beat me up." This isn't some tough but fair, generally good father. AP has like 9 kids from many, many women, it's not mathematically possible for him to be intimately involved in raising them. Almost certainly,
He shows up, demands gratitude for all those child support checks, and starts swinging when the toddlers are like who are you?

it's so cold the vikings giant horn broke into pieces. Factor that into your wagering. Personally I'm pretty glad I don't have to hear that ****ing thing.

Wait, there's an actual physical horn? Figured it was just played over the sound system.

Does Michael Bennett line up offsides on every play or just 2/3 of them?
