The infamous and hotly-debated controversy over shallow-water navigational methods which pitted the skiff/dinghy dealers against the hip-boot manufacturers. On the one hand, it is indeed simpler and easier to paddle ("row") a punt around the shoreline as opposed to slogging heavily ("wading") through the mud, but the boat tends to scrape bottom whenever there's anyone sitting in it. This dilemma was further exacerbated back in the mid-20th century with the advent of the notoriously-unreliable Sears&Rowback outboard motor, which often necessitated both paddling AND squish-squooshing over pebbly jagged-seashell-flecked muck to return to the dock from whence you came.
The U.S. Supreme Court was obliged to delay judgement on the "row versus wade" debate pending further developments; they promised to rule on the case once humans gained control over tidal movements.

Get the Verse mug.Similar to a Grizzle because it tends to jerk off at least 3 times a day, right before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It runs as if it just got raped in the anal passage and has been shot with tranquilizer darts. And for some odd reason this white kid with sum gay gear thinks he can rap. But he is in need of a reality check because he sucks, and occationally he does have othre guys jerk him off.

Get the -verse mug.A performing arts conservatory in Palos Verdes, California. An escape from the goths and tranny's of school theater programs; this program has more kids from different cities. If you want your 11 year old kid to become a twerking, snobby, self righteous asshole, put em in performing groups! Seriously, who the fuck wants to see their daughter dance like they want to fuck the entire audience. You can get some good experience out of it, and the shows they put on are pretty decent. But be ready for a culture that is run by upper middle/high class high school girls that will reject you and outcast you if you don't fit in with their culture of drugs, getting blackout drunk, vaping, fucking other stoners, and getting high during rehearsal. The level of people talking behind other people's backs is unparalleled. The toxic environment fueled by these TikTok dancing, ass shaking, pricks goes totally over the head of the directors, God bless their souls. This toxic environment goes down to the top, the director of the entire Norris Theatre, a rich white theatre mom who inherited the place. Runs it like a fucking dictatorship, will fire you if you don't kiss her ass and make a conga line celebrating her at meetings. If you dare leave the Conservatory, even for one season, good luck trying to come back! They won't let you, if you're a girl, that is. If you're a guy you can throw a temper tantrum about what part you got and they will cave and give the bigger one to you anyways.
"you, should I do a show at the Palos Verdes Performing Arts conservatory?"
"If you're a hot, white fuck boy or girl who doesn't give a shit about anyone and loves a toxic environment of repression and assholery"
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll only spend 19 hours a week there not 20."
