dcseain

I tried that one also

9:26 pm

dcseain

it does take the hairstyle, though

9:26 pm

mich_pdx

and what the heck is an up6? When you're playing a pub game and have really bad aim?

mich_pdx

I did get the chignon :)

9:27 pm

mich_pdx

I guess a beehive is one, too

9:27 pm

dcseain

it's something a bird might do, or I suppose a fish or other mobile sea creature.

9:29 pm

mich_pdx

only if they're British, according to Collins Dictionary online. Here in the states, they just jump or fly up quickly, I support
