An advanced, consumerist form of tetherball played by the children in Aldous Huxley's novel, Brave New World. You can't play Electro-magnetic Golf according to the rules of Centrifugal Bumble-puppy.
The Director and his students stood for a short time watching a game of Centrifugal Bumble-puppy. Twenty children were grouped in a circle round a chrome steel tower. A ball thrown up so as to land on the platform at the top of the tower rolled down into the interior, fell on a rapidly revolving disk, was hurled through one or other of the numerous apertures pierced in the cylindrical casing, and had to be caught. |

| 86. | Heartattack | ||
|
A term coined by Tom Waits. It's quite obviously just heart attack without a space, but it is taken to mean a life and death of shit and revelry. The word was used in the title for his 1980 album, Heartattack and Vine, which had a song of the same name. An excerpt from Heartattack And Vine
From the album Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits, "See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top With the peddle pushers sucking on a soda pop Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time You're waitin' for the RTD on heartattack and vine" |

An amazing band with an interesting history. THE PIASS/妃阿甦 was formed around 1990 in Sapporo with the first member line up of vocalist Chihiro, guitarist Takayuki, bassist Yoshio and drummer Hiroshi. After a while, Chihiro left the band and was replaced by Takashi, who didn’t stay and did vocals only for their first release. Chihiro came back to fill the gap in the band, and this formation became noticed in the music scene. There is still not much known about the band’s first three years, except for an event they had participated in during 1990. more...
In February 1993, THE PIASS’ first omnibus album appearance Braintrash was released; it also contained a song of MALICE MIZER. Their next few songs ended up being released on many different omnibus albums through Anarchist Records, the label which they signed their first contract with. Two years after signing the contact, they came out with their first album, which almost reached the top ten of the Oricon indies charts. Everything was going well for the young band until the October 25, 1995, which marked the end of band activities for a brief time. The members Chihiro and Hiroshi died after falling from a twenty meter high bridge during a PV shoot that day. Their deaths became a mystery with many different versions. Some fans like to believe that it was a suicide pact, mostly because of the fact that the two were tied together when they fell. However, it was most likely just an accident because of a silly stunt they had wanted to... |

Team Fortress 2, often abbreviated as tf2 by players, is an online team-based FPS made by the Valve gaming company. The game is based off a Quake mod made by a third party dubbed "Team Fortress" that involves nine different specialists who operate as a team to complete an objective such as collecting the enemy's flag or destroying the opposing team's fortress. This game was so popular when it hit the scene that Valve added it to their roster of games as "Team Fortress Classic" in 1999 and planned a sequel to be made in 2001 that would use the new Source gaming engine. The result of this is Team Fortress 2, the most popular online FPS to date. Due to new content and game modes being released for its online players on a monthly basis, its very likely that this game will be in the top spot for years to come. If you have twenty dollars sitting around and a high performance PC there's no reason not to buy this game, especially if you have a steam account. Dude 1: So anyway, you want to play some team fortress 2?
Dude 2: Play the best FPS shooter in the world? Hell yea! |
