Lajat
Al-Lajat (Arabic: اللجاة) is a region located in southern Syria east of the Jordan River, on an island of rock which was approximately 20 miles (32 km) by 30 miles (48 km), and rose 20 or 30 feet (9.1 m) above the table-land of Bashan. The region is known by several names. In the Hebrew Bible it was known as Argob (Hebrew: ארגוב Argov / Arabic: أرجوب), and in the New Testament it is called Trachonitis. In addition, its modern-day title has multiple spellings in English, including Lajat, Lejat and Lajah and El-Leja.
History
An extremely rugged region, sixty walled cities were on the island, which was ruled over by Og at the time of the Israelite conquest (Deuteronomy 3:4; 1 Kings 4:13). Later, Lajat, in Bashan, was one of Solomon's commissariat districts.
In Luke's Gospel, the region was called Trachonitis ("the rugged region") (Luke 3:1). This region formed part of Herod Philip's tetrarchy - it is only referred to once, in the phrase tes Itouraias kai Trachbnitidos choras, literally, "of the Iturean and Trachonian region".

You're A Cop
by: Anal Cuntpowdered sugar on your fingers, coffee on your shirt
bribes in your pocket, you never do any work
you fat fucking slob you just sit in a car
until you get off work then it's back to the bar
[chorus:]
you fucking pig-pig
you're a fucking cop-cop [x4]
you never catch any crooks but harass everyone else
your fat fingers don't fit the trigger you're too slow to catch a nigger
you're a suburban cop because you're scared of the city
you broke a stool at dunkin donuts because you're so fucking fat
[chorus]
[repeat first verse]
