The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground. Rodney Mullen

In the business world, I did fairly well, but wasn't happy. A bout of sciatica put me flat on my back. All I could do was read, listen to my mother's stories about the Sandovals, and daydream: a return to self. My writing career had begun. Sandra Cisneros
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!William Shakespeare
Scott Brown may be the last Republican to win a statewide fight in Massachusetts for a very long time.
