I am a word that can mean hard, rigid, fixed, unmoving, and determined.

An 80's punk band wanted to exterminate me with their "spray" name.
Who am I and what is the word?

jennysugars Jun 26, 2005	Interesting teaser for us 80's folks. I don't really get the part about ants swimming though...do ants swim?
brainfog Jun 26, 2005	No, but they build dams, pooling areas for fishies to swim. Those fishies eat floating ants, don't they *** Very good teaser! If I hadn't had Henry Rollins on the brain, I would've done much better. Rats!
Dustar90 Jun 26, 2005	That was GREAT VERY SHARP
vikingboy Jun 28, 2005	Since when do ants build dams?
Riddlerman Jun 29, 2005	Never heard of Adam Ant
cloudchamber Jul 01, 2005	Nice play on the beaver theme, live ants use dead ants to make a raft so they cna float, but this only happens in extreme situations like a flash flood. Mentioning Black Flag and Adam Ant in the same sentence is almost blasphemy. Henry Rollins is a ROCK GOD....mr ant is that little itch you get behind your knee, the one that is gone 5 seconds after you scratch it.
sambean Jul 01, 2005	so confusing
okieman51 Jul 03, 2005	There was no rock & roll in the eighties for one thing. This teaser is getting a Boring Alert!! Boring Alert!!
Fester Jul 11, 2005	okieman you're an idiot. If you can't leave positive or constructive comments, STFU. Anyway, I really liked this teaser. You don't know who adam ant is? EEEP!
me-me Jul 24, 2005	i didnt no adam ant and i agree with okie i thought the whole thing was confusing but thats my opinion ?! if it wasnt so confusing it probably would have been a teaser i liked!
(user deleted) Aug 06, 2005	yeah, that was kinda confusing...since when do ants swim? The idea was clever tho.
smarty_blondy Sep 26, 2005	Chalenging but fun! Keep them coming!
