Bang is funny when you look at the etymology of it's usage.
Here's a little thing I wrote last month:
Sunday Morning Coffee Topic: "Fringe" vs. "Bangs"

If you're new to my chair you might be a bit confused when I refer to your "bangs" as "a fringe". My training with a company that originated in England has me using hairdressing terminology that might be a little different than you're accustomed to hearing. Aside from that, I really think that when it comes to describing the hair that falls around your eyes, the focal point of the front of your hairstyle, "fringe" sounds quite a bit more elegant and glamorous than "bang" or "bangs".

Check out this little tidbit on the etymology of the use of "bang" in reference to hairdressing: ""Bang" continued to evolve, and by the 19th century was used to convey suddenness or finality, which brings us at last from Old Norse hammers to modern haircuts. "Bangs" are so-called because they are created by cutting the hair "bang- off," abruptly and straight across the forehead. And finally, at the risk of offending our bang-coiffed readers, I must tell you that "bangs" as a young lady's hairstyle almost certainly originated with the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across, a style known to this day as a "bang-tail."

I'm not trying to be a snob when I call your bang a fringe. I just want you to feel more glamorous than a horse's tail.

i have flourscent lights mounted on the walls instead of the ceilings as i have better illumination on my cars when i detail. this takes up a chunk of space on the wall where the bike rack could go...

i still cant figure out a good way to get everything organized. i need enough space to detail both my Z and G with the garage door closed... this is mandatory.

Blurgh! There's no way for them to be located outside....Anywhere?

Already hiding goodies in the shed? Oh that can't be good! Soon you'll be like Nick (where is he lately?). Nick is constantly receiving these mysterious "gifts" from his parents. These "gifts" are so mysterious in fact that he promptly installs them on his ride without further investigation!

Congratulations man!
