Def Leppard

One of only a few bands to have two albums sell at least 10 million copies each in the U.S. Hysteria and Pyromania are two of the greatest rock records ever, featuring such hits as "Photograph", "Rock of Ages", "Foolin'", "Too Late For Love", "Rock, Rock (Til You Drop)", "Women", "Animal", "Love Bites", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Armageddon It", "Rocket", and "Hysteria". Famous for ripped jeans, lead singer Joe Elliot's mullet, pioneers in the multi-neon-color fashion, innovators in in-the-round concert setups, British rock band stereotypes, their one armed drummer Rick Allen, electronic drum sets, the guitarists known as the "terror twins" Steve Clark and Phil Collen, and their eccentric bassist/keyboardist Rick Savage. The band was hit with more tragedy when Clark died of alcoholsim in 1991. They are still going strong and their fanbase now spans multiple generations.

Def Leppard is one of the few rock bands from the 1980s that people still care about.

Have a Nice Day

A sarcastic spin on the common phrase. It is what you tell someone when they get in your way or are making you unhappy. It was originated by Bon Jovi in 2005, and coincides with the red, box-shaped, smirk...a spin on the popular yellow smiley face.

"When the world gets in my face, I say...Have a Nice Day!!"

exurb

A sparsely populated area, that is currently making the transition from rural to suburban, located usually on the fringes of a metropolitan area. Often times, it may be populated by wealthy estates, hobby farms, as well as existing rural towns, and usually with larger, more-mainstream suburban development on the brink of happening.

That exurb is growing so fast that the town can barely keep up the services to allow it to function.

george w. bush

A president who actually has the balls to make an effort to change the world, get rid of terrorism, rebuild the Gulf Coast, improve the economy, cut taxes, lower unemployment, promote faith-based initiatives, hold educators accountable, cut down on abortions, and sustain the right of the American people to use firearms. Non-voters, communists, liberals, sheep, and people with IQs lower than 100 get satisfaction out of saying things like he looks like a monkey, is stupid, and blame him for high gas prices and acts of nature. Yet the voting public will continue to vote in Republicans because Republicans are ethical, optimistic, belive in freedom, and actually make progress while in office, instead of the Democrats who are famous for being corrupt, initiating military drafts, raising taxes and pouring it into stupid healthcare and welfare programs that don't do shit, getting blow jobs from interns, and launching random cruise missiles.

George W. Bush deserves a 3rd term, so we can continue to spread freedom, a free market economy, and Christianity around the world.
