As I've heard it used, "schwag" can mean low quality marijuana, or free stuff given out by vendors to encourage you to use their goods (hats printed with logos, etc). I think "swag" meant the more general loot, but I haven't heard that in a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There is a Dead!Dick today, but it was Dick Radatz, once a relief pitcher for the Red Sox whose nickname was "The Monster."
I think you have Kristin's new user name, DX.
Swag is loot. Schwag is weed...I think.
And schwing brings us back to dick. It's all connected.

Besides, I think the closest [BK] is...um...up where I live.
sara, for future reference, it would be a little bit of a hike for you but there's a BK at 29th and Keswick.

I knew this! She was in Dazed and Confused. (also other things probably)
