          Oh no, what did Eminem do. Hehe. Despite the implications of his very creative rhyming style, disgusting is not as similar to “discuss me” as he can make it sound.

            The day shift, of course. If you refer to the chicken-egg problem, it was the Anomalocaris who begun everything.

    That’s if you had money, of you were broke you’d rent a penny layover and yes that’s where the phrase comes.

    You’d literally lay over a rope to sleep and they’d pull the knot loose at a set time in the morning, anyone still on it woke up when they hit the floor.
