radio

There are many different types of radio receiving circuits:
-Crystal (see above)
-Regenerative
-Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF)
-Superheterodyne

Modern radios are superheterodyne. The superheterodyne circuit replaced the TRF and regenerative circuits by the 1930's, and crystal sets were nearly dead until solid state radio emerged.

day of defeat

A game that is not 1, not2, but infinite steps up from Counter-Strike, which is a favorite of close-minded individuals and infantile morons.

Among the countless advantages of Day of Defeat, you do not get as many immature little kids complaining about hackers, and the damage level and recoil is such that the game requires skill and is a learning process.

diarhea

Misspelling of "diarrhea," a favorite subject of elementary school songs learned on the playground.

(singing) When you're sittin' on the toilet and the toilet paper's gone, be a man: Use your hands! Diarrhea!

(singing) When you're ridin' on your Harley and you feel somethin' gnarly: Diarrhea! When you're climbin' on a ladder and you feel somethin' splatter: Diarrhea! Diarrhea!
