Gerald Ford

A former football star at the University of Michigan. Gerald Ford's claim to fame comes from America' most recognizable rehabilitation center, the Betty Ford Clinic, which was set up by Ford's wife, Betty.

Gerald Ford's presidency was marked by two assassination attempts on his life. He's still alive now, so I'm assuming that they both failed.

It Hit Me

At that moment, I finally understood.

After my fish died, it hit me: I had taken his ever-presence for granted.

Moneyball

A book written by Billy Beane, er, Michael Lewis about the 2002 Oakland A's and their quest to reach the playoffs. It discounts some baseball fallacies (i.e. a player can be judged by physical talent alone) and explores the methods of rating players. Thus, teams with little money (such as the A's) can find out who the best available players are and acquire them.

Moneyball describes the importance of statistics such as On-Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage.

Old

1) Aged. Can be referring to something alive or nonliving.

2) Outdated.

3) No longer funny.

1) My fifth-grade elementary teacher was old when I was in her class, and presumably hasn't gotten any younger since I left.

2) The Nintendo 64 is old, but I still use it more than my GameCube.

3) Jokes about Jim Mora (Sr.) whining about his miserable Colts team aren't old yet, despite the fact that he conducted the infamous press conference more than three years ago.

Grammar Fascist

One who corrects the grammar of all people, not just Jews and Gypsies.

The Grammar Fascist corrected me when I told him that I wanted to 'get an good grade' on the Spanish test.

Monday

The beginning of the schoolweek (and, for most people with decent occupations, the workweek). Its beginning puts almost everybody in a bad mood, but its end does little to enliven the spirit.

Monday is the first of the five major obstacles that our hero must pass before reaching the hallowed 'week's end'.
