Awesome 2005 documentary directed by metalhead Sam Dunn, an anthropoligist from British Columbia. The film studies many topics relating to Heavy Metal, including:
-Who the very first Heavy Metal band is (widely believed to be Black Sabbath, as suggested in the film) as well as the roots of metal
-The backgrounds of Heavy Metal musicians and their fans
-Gender and sexuality roles in Metal
-Why a lot of bands have faced problems with censorship due to their lyrical content, album art, and live shows
-Satanic and/or anti-christian beliefs followed by a handful of Norweigian Black Metal bands, as well as other views on religion, satanism, and other controversial topics when associated with metal.
People interviewed include (but are NOT limited to) Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Lemmy of Motorhead, James "Munky" Shaffer" of Korn, Ronnie James Dio, Corey Taylor and Joey Jordinson of Slipknot, Kerry King and Tom Araya of Slayer, Gaahl of Gorgoroth, Alex Webster and George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse, and many other metal musicians and producers, as well as multiple fans, socioligists, and even one minister.
The film is a largely independent film with limited theatrical release, so very few are totally familiar with it. A sequal entitled "Global Metal" was released in 2008, which is probably just as good but even less known.

Brad thinks Nickelback is Metal, so I'm going to show him "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" to teach him what real metal is about.

Get the Metal: A Headbanger's Journey mug.Charlie Sheen's character on Two and a half men. A hedonistic ladies man who works as a commercial jingle writer (and at least once a children's song writer). Harper was almost a mirror image of Sheen (the major difference being drug use, Sheen being a major user of most drugs whereas Harper only occasionally does weed, though still drinks a lot). Charlie does not enjoy the company of his mother Evelyn or brother Alan, but does occasionally enjoy hanging out with his nephew Jake (though does not hold back from making fun of his slow intelligence and frequent "toilet usage").
Sheen was fired from the show on March 7, 2011. For the upcoming ninth season, Harper will have been killed off in Paris after being hit by a train (reported as an accident but may have been done by wife/former stalker Rose due to her catching him with another woman). His house will be purchased by Walden Schmidt (played by Ashton Kutcher).

Charlie Harper was the heart of Two and a half men. Even if Kutcher's character is twice as funny, it still won't be able to replace him.

Get the Charlie Harper mug.A family that opens their Christmas presents on Christmas Eve night as opposed to Christmas morning. Usually done in families with no young kids that believe in Santa Claus and/or cannot wait for the next morning.
I spent christmas break with my girlfriend's family and saw that they're Christmas eve openers since they have no kids under 11.

Get the Christmas Eve Openers mug.There are two potential definitions for crimson ghost:
A. A classic Horror film from 1946.
B. The title character of the above mentioned film.
C. The mascot for the horror punk group The Misfits, who adapted it from the above mentioned movie. It is featured on most of their merchandise and on most of their CDs/Singles. Due to it's dark look a lot of people wear it without knowing much, if anything, about the band.

Kid A: Hey did you ever see the movie The Crimson Ghost.
Kid B: I heard about it, but right now all I know is that it's the logo for The Misfits.

Get the The Crimson Ghost mug.Fox network's sunday night line-up. Went through different phases/names before settling on the current one. Played great shows in the past like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Futurama, and even non-animated shows like Malcolm in the Middle. Unfortunately the programming block has been ruined by many mistakes:
-The ongoing of The Simpsons to the point where it is unfunny
-The cancellations of Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle, and King of the Hill
-Seth Macfarlane's domination of the block: As of May 2011 there are four shows on the block and three of them are Macfarlane's (and he currently has a fourth one in production)

I haven't watched the Animation Domination sunday night block on FOX since they cancelled "King of the Hill".

Get the Animation Domination mug.A fucking chickenshit facist. Believes the government should interfere with every aspect of every citizen's personal lives in order to shape the Country to relfect his-and only his-personal views, which would basically mean making it mandatory for all U.S. citizens to become practicing Christians. Was also the first major name in the 2012 Presidential Campaign to propose a ban on Porn-which the Supreme Court would've obviously declared unconstitutional (unless he appointed only his fellow Conservative Bible thumpers).

Get the Rick Santorum mug.Stupid, pointless method for writing a paper and citing your sources. Dictates that every little detail must be done in a certain way and if you make the smallest mistake then you deserve to fail (and be expelled if your in college).
The paper took me only a half hour, but I ended up spending all night correcting it because of the stupid MLA format rules.
