Channel Drifting

When a TV channel starts airing programs that are different from what the name of the channel suggests or programming the channel has shown in the past. Channels that exhibit channel drifting tend to shift away from past programming, often acting like it never even existed.

Examples include MTV, Cartoon Network, and TLC.

Channel drifting is often very unpopular with a network's longtime viewers. Of all the people who watched Cartoon Network 10-15 years ago, how many of those people do you think still watch it?

Clear Channel Memorandum

A document distributed by Clear Channel communications to their radio stations following the 9/11 attacks, giving a list of songs that should not be played due to "questionable lyrics". Songs included were "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, "The End" by The Doors, "Rooster" by Alice in Chains, and the entire catalouge of songs by Rage Against the Machine. The list was really more a way for Clear Channel to continue pirating the airwaves by using a horrible tragedy as an excuse to not play songs they don't like. Unsuprisingly Clear Channel denied such a memo existed.

Listener: Yea I'd like to request "Brain Stew" by Green Day.

Radio DJ: Sorry but due to the Clear Channel Memorandum which doesn't exist we can't play that one. How about some nice, clean disco?

Listener: Goodbye forever (hangs up and goes to record stores and the internet for new music from now on)

yahoo!

Email service/search engine/news site (sort of) that does fairly good with the e-mail and search engine parts but is either passing some stupid story about a worthless celebrity either wearing something they consider weird off as news. When they do talk about real news, the comments section is always filled with republican nutjobs who have no idea what they're talking about.

I have a Yahoo! account. Good with emails, bad with everything else.

Snaggletooth

Often called "war-pig", the intentionally ugly but extremely iconic mascot of heavy metal legends Motorhead.

Snaggletooth is as famous as the Misfits' crimson ghost or The Rolling Stones' lips logo.

AC/DC

Legendary Classic Rock band, a major staple of Hard Rock, with a small touch of Heavy Metal (you seriously expect me to believe "Thunderstruck" isn't Metal?). Lead by the powerful guitar work of Angus Young with the raw, powerful vocals of Brian Johnson (Bon Scott was the leader of the band until his death in 1980 from alcohol poisoning (or something like it)). Notable songs include "Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap", "Highway to Hell", "Back in Black", "Hells Bells", "Thunderstruck", and most recently "Rock N Roll Train".

Long live AC/DC!!! \m/

Biker Bar

A bar specifically made for bikers. Usually found along the side of a highway in small towns or in the middle of nowhere. Common activities include drinking (obviously), playing of billiards and/or darts, music (either recorded or live), sitting around and talking, and looking at each other's motorcycles.

Biker bars have a reputation for being rough places. Do not enter one if you are an outsider; if need to enter one arises however, make sure you are dressed tough, not looking dorky, and always watch what you say.

My dad once dreamed of opening a biker bar in southern Illinois.

Holiday Withdrawl

Much like Con Withdrawl. A feeling of emptiness following any major holiday, mainly Halloween, Christmas, and in some cases Birthdays.

It's the second week of November but I'm still going through Holiday Withdrawl from Halloween. I know Xmas is coming up but that'll only end in holiday withdrawl as well.
