How odd, I have a collection of Hot Wheels though for my entire life I've preferred the feel of Matchbox, and I have an erg at which I suffer for hours a week.

How odd, I have a collection of Hot Wheels though for my entire life I've preferred the feel of Matchbox, and I have an erg at which I suffer for hours a week.
I don't intend to sell my erg but I'm currently in the process of selling my Hot Wheels collection...I wonder if the buyer will notice my erg and remark how much they too love torturing themselves and would I perhaps sell it to them.

- lproven 2y agoGood heavens. How were we meant to know that? I googled it. I got the unit, European Research Group, Employee Resource Groups, and the Eastern Research Group Inc... whoever they are. [Update] I kept digging. Second entry under here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/erg https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/erg Never knew that and never heard of them before.
- andreareina 2y agoI'm not surprised when someone doesn't know about them, but I'm also not surprised when they do. It's a staple of CrossFit and the like. There's also the bike erg and the ski erg.
