Spiritual (or pseudospiritual?) guru who attends to the inexpressible needs of the multitude, in return for lots and lots of cash. A pun on "car mechanic", from an early Genesis song, "The Battle of Epping Forest", from the album Selling England by the Pound (1973). Think Rajneesh, Jim Jones, L. Ron Hubbard, or any of a host of others.

Get the karmamechanic mug.1) When Elian Gonzalez's family ran out of things to throw at the cops.

Get the Cuban Missile Crisis mug.Examples of tautology:
It was a wet rainy day with lots of precipitation.
She is a female woman of the opposite sex, John.
We could see some dilapidated ruins.

Get the tautology mug.Morbid and (possibly) irrational fear that if you do the same thing every day the CIA may decide to keep a close eye on you.

Get the homeoveniroscopophobia mug.Cyberporn. Pun on (hot-flavoured) chili con carne (chili with meat) and the silicon in the chips in your computer.
I surfed the web for the sites my friends from school had set up two or three years before and found myself looking at more and more silicon carne instead.

Get the silicon carne mug.Practice used in televised sessions in the UK's House of Commons (and other places) of surrounding the speaker at any one time with a coterie of camp followers who would yell "hear hear" and other such things. This would hopefully work to distract the cameraman's attention from the facts that firstly, most of the seats in the chamber would be empty, and secondly most of the remainder would be occupied by MPs who were filling in crosswords, sleeping, or otherwise unengaged in parliamentary business.

Get the doughnutting mug.A confused artist but a genius. Distinctly gay (and I mean that in the most admiring way), but claimed to admire Franco, who was a fat little upstart. Painted perhaps the most famous artworks to join the Surrealist canon. Never got on with self-styled Surrealist Pope Andre Breton, who cynically pointed out that Dali's name was an anagram for "Avida Dollars". Then again, have you ever heard of a line of perfume called "Andre Breton"? No, I didn't think so. Gave his paintings long-winded titles that made their puzzling complexity all the more puzzling, and in whatever afterlife awaits Surrealist genius, his eyes are surely sparkling mischievously at the nonsense that academics are spouting about his sexuality. Well known for his antenna-moustache, his penchant for walking his pet lobster up the Rue de Rivoli, and his motifs of flyblown donkeys, ants, melting watches, crutches, conical anamorphoses of the Spectres of Voltaire, and all the rest. Without him, Ozzy Ozbourne would never have bitten a bat. Referenced in all the best rock songs from U2 to Queen. Worked with Luis Bunuel on L'Age d'Or and Un Chien Andalou (The Golden Age and An Andalucian Dog), two waaay cool movies. His antennae were the vibrissa of the world, and Cadaques was its nose. He promised to eat his wife Gala after she died, which contributed to her longevity. He said the only difference between himself and a madman was that he was not mad, and paranoiac-critically speaking, he was right.
