Afghanistan is an extremely poor Central Asian nation that is being ruled by an American-funded puppet government. After years of corruption under the Islamic Fundamentalist Taliban, the nation is now ruled by a weak, ineffective government that is fueled by propganda supplied by US conservatives. However, this central government has no power outside of Kabul and warlords rule this nation's countryside in a fedual style system.

Get the Afghanistan mug.a sport that americans ignore, except for one month every 4 years, when they act like they give a rat's ass about the sport. once the US team is eliminated from the world cup, they ignore soccer once again.

Get the soccer mug.kia is the name of an awful little korean car manufacturer. unlike their korean rival hyundai, which has made significant improvements to their vehicles over the past 2 decades (although kia is in better shape than korean car maker daewoo, which could only handle the us market for 3 years), kia's quality remains relitively low. the cars have gotten better since being first introduced to the states in the early '90s, and they are well know for their great warrenties. but build quality and reliability where they should be. also, kia interiors have a strange smell, which is acredited to the packaging in which they are imported.

Get the Kia mug.the alabama of the northeast is the nickname given to central PA. members of the media from outside of the state percieve pennsylvania as a 'swing state'- one that could go either left or right politically. this is far from true. PA is actually a state that his 2 distinct regions. on the two ends of the state you have the urbanized areas, which are traditionally moderatally liberal. this includes philly, allentown, scranton-wilkes barre in the east and pittsburgh and erie in the west. these (good) parts of PA are generally a mix of center-right 'union democrats' and true northeastern liberals. however, central PA is by far the most conservative area in the Northeastern US. this area is called an 'alabama' because it's known for having a lot of rednecks (due to the fact that this is part of appalachia).

Get the Alabama Of The Northeast mug.one of the shittiest schools in america. a land grant university that was originally designed to be Farmer U (yeah, and aggie school). however, it now likes to hide that image and call itself an elite college. despite being a state school, it has high tuition and (for some reason) difficult standards for admission. this second fact is a total joke, because it's easy to get in if your not smart but no somebody. most attendees are excellent drinkers and parties. the school is located in the middle of nowhere in central PA (nicknamed 'the alabama of the northest')
in sports, penn state is ridiculous. in football, the pride themselves on the old glory of a pompous, grouchy coach. they used to be hugh rivals with the highly superious Pitt, but the school got scared and dropped Pitt from the schedule in '01. in basketball, they are a total joke.

'penn state sucks' are the unofficial last words to the Pitt fight song.
at penn state, they sacrifice virgins in exchange for football success.

Get the penn state mug.the semi-scientific term snowball effect is used to discribe any object that gradually gains volume, such as when a snowball rolls down a hill. it is a term commonly used to describe people who have large weight gains.
the snowball effect can discribe young people who gain weight, mostly due to the natural cycle of growth. for example, while in middle school and just starting puberty, a preteen may be skinny and lanky. but as the reach their teen years, their body mass will gradually increase.
the snowball effect can also (although more harshly) apply to an adult who bulks up due to excessive eating or disease.

my girlfriend really succumbed to the snowball effect. when we were young kids in middle school and were just friends, she was really skinny and weighted under 90 lbs. while we were together in our high school years, she had a little meat on the bones, and was gradually getting bigger. by the time she was a sophomore in college, the snowball effect had caused her to weigh 145.

Get the snowball effect mug.the most pathetic excuse for a hotel in vegas. calls itself a family resort- hey guess what, it's still a casino. the carpet is dirty, the rooms are aging, the elevators are deathtraps, and the parking garage is ridiculous. the famous circus acts are a joke.
