When you're happily drinking with friends and rest your eyes for a second at the local pub, and suddenly wake up to find yourself sprawled across the steps of your house or in some alley in the middle of nowhere, then you my friend have just taken a ride in the beer taxi.

Get the beer taximug. Popular bastardization of Maxis' classic SimCity series that effectively lets one play God in a small community. Popular with mild-mannered middle aged women and perverts, but for different reasons. Though many applaud Maxis' incredible success with the series others see it (and the subsequent abandonment/assimilation of SimCity) as blasphemy.
Oh Belinda, let me tell you about this most wonderful little neighborhood I've built at our next Tupperware party.
Sup lads I made those three dudes do it in the bathroom.

Get the The Simsmug. See cult, scam and retarded. Basically the religion (har har) of Scientology says that some aliens did some shit a long time ago and that is why people are unhappy assholes. Founded by writer L. Ron Hubbard after he started taking his own books a little bit too seriously (or just got greedy, who knows).
If you pay them you get some devices and stuff that are supposed to purify you, and move you up the 'chain of command' until you get to join some sort of secret inner circle and plot how to take money away from other dumbasses. They didnt even add most of the alien shit until a bunch of people gave enough money to get promoted to the 'pure' stage and still werent happy.
Very popular with celebrities and other amoral rich people because the basic tenet is you can buy your way into heaven without any of the stipulations most other religions put on that, like not being a hedonistic, backstabbing little bitch.

Get the scientologymug. One of the founders of Microsoft and formerly the world's richest man (passed by the founder of Ikea). People like to blame him for everything, because he's rich and part of human nature is blaming rich people for all your problems.

Get the Bill Gatesmug. Software company that produces the Windows series of operating systems. Founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and generally considered responsible for modern computing.
People like to knock their near-monopolistic control of the OS market but in truth, while at times unpleasant, its almost a necessity for widespread computing due to the way OS's work, and how software has to communicate with the OS. Those of you who dabbled with computing in the early '90s when many different computers/OS's on the market instead of just one know what I'm talking about; trying to find a particular piece of software compatible with your particular setup could be hell, and trying to code the stuff was even worse. Having a good compiler helped of course, but it had to be kept up to date on all the latest OS builds and/or you had to do all sorts of manual tweakage with the compiled code, neither of which was a particularly pleasant experience.
Aside from Windows, MS has released a number of things like DirectX to make programmers' lives easier. All in all they help more than they hurt.

An operating system is like the lines on the road, if everyone's not using the same one bad shit starts happening.

Get the microsoftmug.
Get the bunnymug. Fairly decent OS from Microsoft. More stable than most Windows versions, but has a number of privacy and end-user-rights issues that are questionable at best. Like all Windows builds, is often blindly flamed by idiots with no clue what an OS is or how it works, thinking MS sucks but not having any ideas how they would do it better.
Its Fisher-Price looking graphics do however fit in well, considering MS's tech support usually treats you like a toddler.
