a) the trunk
b) the sidewalk
c) the windshield

Tbh all three of yours do make more sense Especially trunk... as in like the trunks on the back of a horse and carriage.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're just like us!

But just checking... footpath or p.....?

I personally call it a footpath.

Others call it the pavement.

When I'm driving I call it the "potential pedestrian target zone".

I'm guessing you're looking for pathway?

Nope.

Precisely.

Sidewalk: walking on the side of the road.
Windshield: shield from the wind, it's not a window screen one finds in a house.

But it does screen you from the wind... so that one's a bit could-go-either-way, but the other two I think definitely make more sense your way.

It was the worst of Christianity combined with hair metal. Fuck that shit.

'Course, I was into Rush, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest. 'Nuff said.

When I was a Christian, I preferred Michael W Smith's music.

Is it my imagination or is/was Evanescence a Christian band? I know that at least some of their members were Christians and at least one of their songs could be talking about Christianity... though not particularly overtly... can't remember which one it is though... I'll have to look that up.

Me thinks this is a troll posting as a "Catholic" for that site.  

I don't know..... I've known a lot of catholicks and plenty of them are pretty dumb.

Nah, I never got into any of those at all. I grew up with Bon Jovi... soft rock rather than hard rock. Except Sepultura... I grew up with that as well.
