0 Prof. Templeton Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 For this one The big one’s in Missouri Two wheels plus an engine - motorcycle (PA and naoko) Mad mount I think the bond is Jet as in TallMiss JetHairSun or Thomas Jefferson, but it could be something similar like jump or such. With jet in mind, then The big one’s in Missouri - flood plain or plain. The big one’s in Missouri - stream (the mississippi and missouri come together here) This works for jet as in a jet plane or jet stream, motorcycle is kinda iffy, mad mount I have no idea. jump works for motorcycle but the other two I dont know about. just some thoughts to expound upon. Too bad I got to this so late. It's well put together CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I think I was too vague on the Missouri one, so I'll add thisThe big one's in Missouri, the other one's next door. and for "Mad mount"Mad Mount for Prof T:way to take all the phun out of it!
