Buck (crater)
Buck is a crater in the Navka region of Venus. It has the terraced walls, flat radar-dark floor, and central peak that are characteristic of craters classified as 'complex'. The central peak on its floor is unusually large. Flow-like deposits extend beyond the limits of the coarser rim deposits on its west and southwest. Like about half of the craters mapped by Magellan to date, it is surrounded by a local, radar-dark halo.

Sellout
by: Big WigHit the block around twenty to nine,
Checking my girl
But then I see this girl lookin' fine, so I
Asked her if she wouldn't mind,
Could you tell me your name and what you're doing tonight ?
Body like nothin' I seen,
She's telling me she's on the cover of GQ magazine.
Tellin' me she had to go...
So I dropped her at the spot in my four by four
- Bridge
So I told her ...
I can't be late,
The girl's taking up my time,
Had to hit her with a line,
So I told her ...
I can't wait to freak,
See you at the same time next week.
She said ...
- Chorus
Baby give me what you got,
Cos I'm everything that's she's not.
Love is all I bring,
In my khaki suit and thing.
So honey leave your girl at home,
With your car keys, mobile phone.
Love is all I got,
All the things that make you hot
Got my woman crazy on the phone,
She's talking bout why the f*** my ass ain't at home.
Had to tell her I was stuck,
In some brand new business, I was all tied up.
Told the girl I was late,
I had to rhyme.
I got to be backstage at a quarter past nine.
Telling me to change my mind ...
She's like Britney Spears Baby hit me one more time ...
- Bridge
