a crick is something you get in your neck when you sleep on it wrong.
a creek is a small body of running water, similar to a stream or brook.
that said, you must have missed Stick's photos. they're still around. i do believe he did a great in-depth article about the perils of trying to get a Kimber to rust (as so many people were complaining about). made me shoot milk out my nose i laughed so hard.
and i wasn't even drinking milk.
