Macan and Rolex-- yep it works!!??

glupson...I take you seriously.  Really....

I hope I'm taken seriously.....but, there is the range of Serious that gets applied to one in a given circumstance....

Serious as a heart attack.
Serious threat.
Seriously insane.
Seriously dense.
Etc.....(seriously....)
