BusinessMan's definitions
One of the best website to read fanfiction. It used to be MUCH, MUCH better than it is today, but there was a number of unexplained or stupid decisions.
Decisions such as reinventing the search system when it was already good. Now you'll be lucky if any search you make with more than one word come up with accurate results. Other decisions include taking away NC-17 rating, banning stories about real life people, and banning stories that doesn't fit a certain format. What's the point of "unleashing your imagination" if your imagination is restricted?
Also, there are a number of website problems there. The usual and least believable explanation is something along the lines of "server upgrade".
Despite this, people don't have much choice because FF.Net still has the most stories and the best interface.

Guy browsing FF.Net: Hmm, what? No more NC-17 stories because kids are reading it? JESUS CHRIST! So R-rated stories are BETTER?!

Get the Fanfiction.net mug.A highly expensive institution ran by fascist liberals. Ridiculously easy to get into, except for the stuck up ivy league college that doesn't really have anything special aside from its name.
The Pros:
-After four years of of bullshit, you'll get a piece of paper which will help you get a job
-Alcohol flows like water
-A higher concentration of easy women than in a ghetto
-Drugs are just a skip and a hop away
The Cons:
-After four years of of bullshit, you'll get a piece of paper which will help you get a job
-The professors are stuck up assholes
-The elitists (feminists, pro-gay supporters, etc) are stuck up assholes
-The liberal arts students are stuck up assholes
-The classes you are forced to take are bullshit
-The extreme work is bullshit
Basically, the cons outweight the pros, but you have no choice, but to go there. Fortunately, alcohol and drugs might help you through. Unfortunately, alcohol and drugs might get you kick out.

Hmm, where to go to? Harvard, MIT, Yale, Princeton, some private college near me, or my local community college?
Eh, some private college near me. It's closer, cheaper, and they all teach the same thing anyway.

Get the College mug.The downloading or copying one a copyrighted item. Piracy is achieved through the use of P2P programs, such as Kazaa, Direct Connect, WinMX, BitTorrent, or etc. However, there are a few websites that legitimately offers pirated items.
Through piracy, everything short of nourishment and clothing can be achieved. You can pirate books, music, video games, movies, or software. However, there are a series of argument pertaining to piracy. Such arguments are:
1) Industries - Those bastards are stealing money from us. If we could stop piracy, prices would go down enormously and there would be more jobs due to more demand!
2) Pirates - If we couldn't pirate, we wouldn't buy your overpriced crap anyway! Who the hell is gonna pay $600+ for Photoshop or $200+ for new Windows OS? And "there will be more jobs", my ass! You'll most likely outsource jobs to India for more profit!
3) Litigious Jerk Offs - We'll have those pirating bastards on their knees in no time, but first, we have to find out the age of those we sue! Those goddamn idiotic American people gets all giddy eye every time we sue a little boy for downloading 50 Cent. If we don't, he's going to grow up to be a serial killer!
Basically, the argument boils down to the industries wanting more profit, pirates wanting to spend less, and litigious jerk offs wanting to make more money by suing everyone. So far, the industries are still making enormous profit because the vast majority of people don't know how to pirate. The pirates are still pirating because piracy is virtually impossible to stop. And the jerk offs had been blasted for suing several wrong people, but they managed to scare a lot of people off of Kazaa.

Get the Piracy mug.Obviously females originating from Japan. Looking at the other definitions, though, there seem to be an ulterior meaning.
There are a number of American men who prefer Asian ladies (especially Japanese) because they believe American women (or possibly western women in general) are undesirable due to a lack of lady-like qualities.
Many (notably feminists) have the misconception that Japanese females are naturally submissive, which seems to be proven incorrect by the definition above me. Aside from that, though, it is true that most women in Japan are not submissive, but it is also true that they do not tend to view relationships as a struggle for power like many American women.

Guy A: What kind of women do you like?
Guy B: I like Asian girls. Vietnamese and Chinese girls are fantastic! But Guy C told me Japanese girls were great!

Get the Japanese Girls mug.The Kraken is, specifically speaking, supposed to be a sea monster with no distinctive traits. However, it has become fixed with the image of a big, bad-ass squid that fucks up everything whenever it appears.
You may recognize the Kraken from such things as:
1) Video games - Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, etc.
2) Literature - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, The Kraken, etc.
3) Movies - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Clash of the Titans, etc.
And much more. All you need to know is that the Kraken is badass and it will own asses whenever it appears.

1) I was playing Golden Sun on my GameBoy Advance and I was making good progress when the Kraken appeared and repeatedly kicked my ass.
2) I read Michael Crichton's Sphere, which features the Kraken. Needless to say, the Kraken opened a huge can of whoop ass on the characters.

Get the Kraken mug.The BEST day of the week! Most people seem to like Friday. Now, think about it. People like Friday because it's the day before the weekend. However, what if it was Friday everyday? Doesn't seem like much, huh?
On the other hand, Saturday is the best because the whole day is free and you don't have to worry about anything the next day like Sunday, so you can stay up all night.

Get the Saturday mug.That wife of yours who uses the Bible when it fits her needs.
When you bring up the sex issue, she uses the Bible to justify herself. If you point out the flaws in her logic, BAM! You're the devil! If you don't point out the flaws, well, you don't get sex anyway.
