Wherever there is a big candidates' debate there is Spin Alley. After the debate, journalists have to write stories, produce TV packages. For this they need quotes and authorized knowers who can talk on camera.
There to provide such are the spinners: hired guns, stand-ins, soulmates who agree to meet the press after the debate to explain why their candidate "won." Of course this is a verdict known in advance; however that fact too is known in advance, so no one really minds. Spin Alley will live again in whatever large, air-conditioned room is next designated for the ritual. Unless it's stopped.

After the debate, I took the press shuttle back to the media center -- and to the small section therein blatantly designated "Spin Alley," ringed on three sides by bare-bones makeshift broadcast platforms and stuffed to capacity with reporters, camera crews and politicos. Everywhere you looked there were clusters of media people surrounding spinners and surrogates, whose names were printed on laminated red signs held high above the crowd by aides. I felt like I was standing in the middle of one of my own damn cartoons come to life.

Similar to the upper decker but with a European twist. Many european toilets have the tank mounted to a wall up high with a pull cord which is used for flushing. Since the tank is high it is nearly impossible to perform the upper decker so in order to perfect the alley poop one must defecate on a transport medium (bag works fine) and then transplant this specimen into the upper tank manually. The next several victims to use the toilet are left literally with a shitty situation. The alley poop must be used with great caution and requires substantial skills to pull off correctly.

A bad state of being. Often has to do with ones living situation. Often, an upstanding or wealthy individual who has gone from riches to rags, lost purpose, a job, family, or become an addict.
After my bosses wife and kids left him, he began to drink and now lives in one bedroom apartment on "Shitters Alley".

The areas on a man's skull above the temples where balding begins. Usually significantly paler than the rest of one's face.

1. I met this hunk down on Glory Alley last night.
2. He decided to take a ride down Glory Alley without warning me first.
