A maker of mischief; me(for I am popularly known both on and off -line as GrEmLiN - note that I used the name before alt. caps became a n00bish thing)
An evil little creature which tends to radiate bad luck. (Me again) Small green creature usually blamed for faults in electronic equipment, mainly airplanes. Mischievous creatures appearing in the popular 80s films 'Gremlins' and 'Gremlins 2' - Two of my personal favorites. NOTE: Gremlins were the creatures spawned from the Mogwai(Gizmo) - GIZMO WAS NOT A GREMLIN. Gizmo was a Mogwai, and Gremlins are formed(the process begins instantaniously) when a Mogwai comes in contact with water, or is fed after midnight. A Gremlin was also a nice 2 door sedan but some refer to it as a hatchback, although the VIN coding system refers to it as a non-hatchback, made by American Motors Corp. (AMC) in the 70s. I have two myself. http://www.gremlinx.com/ is a good reference site. AMC also owned Jeep until 1988, when Chrysler bought them out for the Jeep name. AMC was formed in 1957 when Nash and Hudson merged. http://gremlin.lindsaycurran.com/cars/grem1.jpg
http://gremlin.lindsaycurran.com/1GremSig13.jpg http://www.gremlinx.com "Gremlins are make-believe!" -Homer J. Simpson Gremlins(the car) are usually hated upon for a "dorky" look, when reality they are very nice works of art. Both the car and the creature Gremlins are pretty popular too. Used in many cartoons, movies, television commercials etc. |

Decent pop punk band. A lot funnier than most other crappy pop punk bands.
1985 was written by SR71. It's not a nonsense song about the 80s it's about a woman whose grown up and found she's outdated. Her kids think she's old and uncool, but when she was young she actually had a life. Only called a nonsense song by dumbfucks who don't actually listen to the lyrics. What it really is is a lovesong to the 80s and to the people who were young then and ended up having to grow up, live dreary lives, and get dissed and ignored by their oh-so-hip kids. Especially funny because those same retarded kids, who don't believe their parents were actually people love this song. But none of that matters, because as said, the song was written by SR71. Bowling for Soup is OK. Mostly they suck, but occasionally they make a song that cracks you up unexpectedly. Like the Bitch song, which starts off tradional crappy emo and then catches you off by going into a stupid funny chorus. They also pick good songs to cover. Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all

One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA Her dreams went out the door When she turned twenty-four Only been with one man What happened to her plan She was gonna be an actress She was gonna be a star She was gonna shake her ass On the hood of White Snake's car Her yellow SUV is now the enemy Looks at her average life And nothing has been alright Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she's uncool Cause she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 Woohoohoo (1985) Woohoohoo She's seen all the classics, she knows every line 'Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink' Even 'St. Elmo's Fire' She rocked out to Wham!

Somebody who still refuses to accept that video games have become a major and defining element of our culture. The belief that only lonely, agoraphobic and pencil-necked geeks play computer games is an archaic stereotype, and Anti-gamers primarily believe only geeks and nerds spend their time playing video games. In reality, this is pretty much the same as saying "only sluts ever have sex". Today, everybody plays video and computer games; anti-gamers tend to show soccer-mum qualities and *really* need to wake up and get with the times. Anti-gamer: "You play video games...? Man, you really need to get a fucking life."
Gamer: "So kickin-ass in Half-life 2, Splinter Cell, and a dozen other ass-kicking FPS with a massive ring of friends over Xbox-live or LAN parties makes me a geek? I think you need to follow your own advice about getting a life, pal. This isn't the 80s, anymore." Anti-gamer: "Yeah, whatevs. I'm sure all your "friends" are geekish losers who can't get any sex so they spend all their time jerking off over Lara Croft's fake tits." Gamer: "Uh-huh. I'm sure all your 'friends' are narrow-minded jocks and brainless preps who haven't realized that a large ring of friends playing over Xbox live, or something, is just another way for friends to hang out and enjoy each other's company." |

1. Continent which is:
a.Earth`s biggest continent b.Place with the most ranged economy. For example the Phillipines is 3rd world, but Japan is one of the best economies in the world. c.Continent whose citizens would completely die out without rice. It is not just a stereotype, all Asian countries(except maybe some in the Middle East) depend on rice and even food that is not rice is often made of rice somehow. d.Continent whose citizens can come to the US and do better than white, black, or latino people in any bussiness (other than entertainment). e.Very poorly defined on Urban Dictionary by inom. Asia is not a counrty, it is a continent. And it has far less poverty and starvation than some other parts of the world. 2. Crappy 80s band. MTV and VH1 like to call them "hair metal". I call them "pop". Kind of like Bon Jovi, but not even worth playing at a dance. 3. Rare Italian girl`s name. 1a.J.B:Asia is huge. It is a big ass continent. Asia so big, it`s got its own sun. People everywhere else sayin` "You got your own sun! Why we gotta share the same one with everyone else?". THAT`S how big Asia is.

Lacey:Yeah, and its a pretty big continent, too. 1b.Maybe Thailand wouldn`t look so crappy if it weren`t right under Japan. 1c.News in 2008: It`s been 14 months since Worlwide rice famine started, and things are looking very bad in Asia and the Middle East. Europe, Africa, and the Americas have been able to survive on their non-rice foods. All wealthier Asians have very rapidly migrated to Europe and the United States, abandoning the strong trade-based economies of China and Japan. Most Asian citizens have completed died out, and most governments have collapsed. The only nations which have survived this ordeal so far are Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the state of Palestine. Palestine and Israel have been locked in a power struggle for control of the continent, both sides claiming that Asia is their promised land. However, neither side has advanced as they have only been fighting eachother, the Palestians with an unknown financial and militaristic supporter. Iraq has been under check by the United States for five years now, as ex-president George W. Bush warns that Iraqi rebels might to use WMD to overtake Asia. The Saudis have not enacted any so far, but have peacefully claimed most of continental Asia. The Saudi Government could not be reached for co... |

| 7. | blue sky mining | ||
|
The practice of completely stripping a region bare of all natural resources without regard to sustainability, such as clearfelling a rainforest, intensive cultivation without fertilizing, or open-cast strip-mining a mountain range. This phrase was also used by 80s rock band Midnight Oil as the name of a popular song. If we continue blue sky mining the Amazon rainforests, pretty soon we won't have any oxygen to breathe!
