psiscott's definitions
A term - perhaps invented in Muskoka - used to describe the watersport of being pulled behind a fast moving ski-boat on a large sea biscuit or inner-tube. The inner-tube usually has a smooth bottom, furnished so as to not end up in a phenomenal cartwheel-like wipeout; although this is infact what the watchers of the tuber are looking for!
The best way to tube is to criss-cross the boat wake gaining a wider and wider arc so as to increase speed to upwards of 100 mph. Once this speed is neared, the tuber is likely to hit the wake, become airborn and perform a maniacal wipeout forgotten since the days of Evel Kneivel.

Max: "Look at those dudes tubing. The boat must be doing 50, the guys gotta be arcing at a-hundred!!!"
Scott: "Woaaa...there he goes!.....There's the tube....Where's the dude?!!"
Max: "THERE HE IS up in that pine tree."

Get the tubing mug.Beautiful cottage country in south-central Ontario, Canada. Made 'famous' by such Hollywood stars as Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and Tom Hanks and others.
Once a place of peace and quiet, respectfully tainted with the noise of summer-fun including boating, water skiing, tubing, and just about any other outdoor activity - other than HUNTING!
The original cottages were a place to escape to from the rat-race of the stinky city - mainly the city of Toronto.
Once this land was 'discovered' by certain high-profile people, rich pricks decided it was 'trendy' and 'necessary' to purchase land or a cottage there so as to look upwardly-mobile. This has degraded Muskoka by making it unrealistically expensive for the average layman to purchase; and unmanagable for those who first set their cottage roots there, due to higher taxes and anal newcomers.
Like the white-man raped the Native Americans' lands, so has the yuppie/rich prick raped Muskoka.

New Muskokan cottager:
Franchini: "Are we taking the Bentley and the Bichon to Muskoka this weekend Elsha?"
Elsha: "Well we may need the Bentley because Arthur is flying in from Eton. I think we should have Ramon watch the Bichon as you know Arthur just won't have anything to do with her shedding!"
Franchini: "Fine..fine..fine..Let Ramon watch the bitch and we shall enjoy Cognac with Arthur in Muskoka...I do hope the central air is on when we arrive and that the plumbers have installed the three 'bidets' in the main washrooms."
TRUE Muskokan cottager in the 70s:
Merv: "Did we get the coolers and sleeping bags all packed kids?"
Kids: "Yes daddy, and mommy made us some lunches 'cause we're hungry now and can't wait till we stop for our mid-trip snack. I hope the bunny's are there at the stop. Can we get our allowance now so we can buy some blackballs and bottlecaps daddy?"
Merv: "If you are good. Remember, its a long drive but at least we have this wagon now. Too bad we can't afford a plane to fly up and avoid the traffic." - laughing
Kids: "Yea, but at least we have a boat so we can ski and fish and stuff."
Merv: "That's true kids, good attitude."

Get the Muskoka mug.1) Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel (born October 17, 1938 in Butte, Montana) is an American stuntman, best known for his public displays of long distance, high-altitude motorcycle jumping which often resulted in serious injuries, particularly during the 1960s. The consummate salesman, he was able to turn his popularity into a marketing juggernaut with products ranging from radios to toy action figures. His achievements and failures got him into the Guinness Book of World Records several times including his record thirty-five broken bones.
2) A term used to describe a guy who just did a rad stunt, either by accident or on purpose.
This IS the correct spelling of his name.

1) "Evel Knievel tried to 'jump' over the Snake River Canyon. Motorcycles seemed to have become too boring, so he used a rocket for this disaster. Apparently he needed his flying licence before attempting this and hit the chute as soon as the rocket cleared the ramp. A dismal failure. Akin to Geraldo opening Capone's safe!"
2) Max: "Did you see that guy try to jump that bog on his 125cc dude?"
Scott: "Oh, yes. How could I miss it. Did he ever find his bike after swimming to shore?"
Max: "No! Looks like Evel Knievel will have to get daddy to buy him another one!"

Get the Evel Knievel mug.A Mexican. Possibly a combination of Spanish and icky. Dirty Harry Callahan made an interesting comment in one of the GREAT Dirty Harry movies. See example.
New cop of Mexican decent: "Why don't you like me Callahan."
A Detective: - overhearing question - "Harry hates everyone...chinks, niggers, wops...everyone."
New cop of Mexican decent: "What about Mexicans?"
Callahan: - In a dry matter-of-fact voice - "ESPECIALLY spiks."

Get the spik mug.A made up word used by total dwankers who think that they are ordering a stylish beverage but have infact totally fucked-up the pronunciation. See espresso.
Preppie dwanker: "I'll have an expresso and my partner will have an expresso frappe latte strawberry with light cream and a twist of lime...cane sugar on the side."
Server: "What the fuck is an 'expresso?' And would you and your boyfriend like to serve your own sugar and cream over there by the pile of wood...this is an 'extreme getaway vacation' fruitloop; not Starbucks!"

Get the Expresso mug.Misconceptions about acne:
There are many myths about what causes acne. Greasy foods and chocolate are often blamed, but foods have little effect on the development and course of acne in people. Another common misconception is that dirty skin causes acne; however, blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt. Stress does not directly cause acne either. It is true, though, that anger and stress affect hormone levels and thus bodily oil production, which can cause acne. People of all ages and races can get acne. It is most common in adolescents and some young adults. 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 24 develop acne. For most people, acne tends to go away around the time they reach their thirties; however, some people in their forties and fifties continue to have this skin problem.
To see the effects of HORMONES on the skin, just look at a very large weightlifter/bodybuilder. If they have a lot of pimples on their back or arms or shoulders or even some on their face and they are in their late 20s or 30s or older, the cause of this is NOT puberty; but excess Testosterone which is proof that acne is directly related to hormone balance or imbalance. Women will sometimes get acne around the time of their menstrual cycle...a time of hormonal changes. You will likely notice that young pubescent males get far worse acne than girls. This likely shows that Testosterone is the KEY cause of this malady. Women have testosterone in their systems as well.

Trainer: "A pimple...try another dozen dude....How much Testosterone Enanthate are you injecting a day?"
Bodybuilder: "1000mg a week guy....why?"
Trainer: "You are wasting your money; You only need 400mg and you are taking away from your impressive physique because you look like an acne cream 'before-shot' ad photo!?

Get the pimple mug.An unnecessary term for an actress. There has been some recent confusion in the biz due to some women who seem to think that they are not equal to men (women are in fact equal but distinctly and thankfully different.)
These egomaniacs insist that they are 'actors' which fucks up the rest of us who see that the obvious is in fact the case; that they are actresses. This term - 'actress' - was okay for Katherine Hepburn and other greats of her time...why is it necessary for these 'womyn'- as they likely wish to be addressed - to try to compete where no competition is needed or warranted. A man is a man; a woman is a woman. An actor is a man; an actress is a woman. It really is quite simple.

FEMALE ACTOR RAISES HELL:
Dan: "Would the actresses looking to audition for the role of Cleo please gather to my left."
Tiffy: "Oh my gawd...I don't SEEEEE any ACTRESSES here DAaaaaN....Show me...show me you BASTARD...show me an actress...show me; you chauvanist PIIIG! I am an ACTOR as are all of the W--I--M--Y--N----here...AND I refUSE to be asked to be on your left...there is no 'left.' There is only 'personal flow.'!!!"
Rachel: "Step aside wannabe.....go back to hustling tables."
Dan: "Miss...you can go to tent 4 if you want to audition for the actors' rolls. We are running takes for Terminator IV...you might fit in there."
