gas, grass and ass 

the Holy Trinity of what a rogue vagabond biker needs on his eternal nomadic travels.
1. Robbie filled his motorcycle tank with gas today, he bought some doobies so he can chill out tonight and Shelley (who he met at a roadside tavern-casino on Highway 93) - well, she's his ... you know...
Gas, grass and ass.

2. On the school playground Mark had on a faded denim jacket that showed a biker with a nude chick smoking weed on a Harley hog together. The caption said "All I need is gas, grass and ass".

Okra Windbag 

a sarcastic, playful twisting of the real name of TV talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.
1. Julius: Oprah says-

Brutus: Who cares what Okra Windbag says? Why do you depend on these media gurus to make your mind up for you? Think for yourself.

2. In the Del Webb's High Sierra casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada I saw an "adult" entertainment show called "Bottoms Up '87". Its jokes had 4th-grade sex humor, racist and anti-religious humor, a drag queen chopper chick karaoke of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire" (this was the best part) and a minstrel show skit called "So You Want To Be Black" featuring an "Okra Windbag" (and she was in blackface getup too!). Juvenile and dumb. I kept calling up a waitress and she kept serving me free drinks. All the dumb white trailor trash moms in the theater room ate it all up.

New Order 

1. the political agenda (Neue Ordnung) that the Nazis had set for Germany after seizing power. It included the conquest of the entire planet and the extermination of billions of people.

2. the totalitarian regime of Indonesia and its ideology established by Suharto in 1965. Pro-democracy activists toppled the New Order in 1998.

3. in the original paperback novel version of "Star Wars (A New Hope)" Emperor Palatine's Galactic regime is called the New Order.

4. a terrific UKalternative, dance and synth-rock band that rose from the ashes of the post-punk group Joy Division in 1980. They scored many MTV and club hits in the 80s and 90s. They greatly influenced the techno and electrodance scenes and disbanded in 2007.
1. The Nazi New Order slogan was "Heute Deutschland, morgen die Welt" ("today Germany, tomorrow the world").

2. AKA Orde Baru, the Suharto New Order was characterized by jingoistic nationalism, persecution of ethnic Chinese, wars of rebellion by other ethnic groups, a conquest of East Timor, corruption and nepotism.

3. For the "Star Wars" films George Lucas also derived the word "stormtroopers" from the German "Sturm Abtelung" - storm troops.

4. Among the many hits by New Order are "Everything's Gone Green" , "Temptation", "Blue Monday", "Confusion" , "True Faith", "Regret", "Crystal", "Touched by the Hand of God", "1963" and more. Check em out!
1. a stone

2. a piece of crack cocaine that is smoked

3. AKA "rock'n'roll". It's the ultimate form of musical expression. It's roots are in American, British and Irish folk, country and western (the classic stuff - NOT that poofy crap of today), jazz, blues, bluegrass and other sources. Pioneered by Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, King Elvis, Bill Haley + the Comets, the Beach Boys and many more. Expanded, further defined and influenced even more by British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Kinks and German bands like Kraftwerk. Now rock music is listened to any performed by people in every nation. It's an American cultural phenominae that has shaped the world.

4. to be cool. To rule, to be bad.

5. In the U.S. Navy this word is jargon for flunking an academic test.
1. Billy threw a rock at a glass house. Next came the sound of glass shattering.

2. When the cops came in the apartment to make their dope bust Mikey put his crack pipe (with a rock in it) in the toilet bowl bottom hole. The police found it anyway and arrested Mikey.

3. Just gimme some of that rock'n'roll music. Any old way ya choose it.

4. The Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, Ohio supposedly because the music got its name from a Cleveland slang term for sex.

5. Rise up! Gather round! Rock this place to the ground.

6. at a Rush concert someone behind me yelled, "GEDDY LEE, YEWWWW RAWHKK!". Because of the distance to the stage and the volume Geddy Lee and his Rush-mates Neil and Alex couldn't hear that, but they've been rocking for many years - they know.

7. Seaman Vincent: how did you do on the first Propulsion Engineering Basics test?

Seaman James: I aced it.

Seaman Vincent: Did you hear how Seaman Steve did? He ROCKED it!

8. that manufactured Britney/Xtina/NSYNC/teen pop garbage is NOT rock, it's a CROCK.

Plastiscines 

a young French all-woman rock'n'roll band that formed a few years ago. They consist of:

Katty Beanard - vocals + guitar

Marine Neuilly - guitar

Louise Basillein - bass

Anais Vandevywere - drums.

Their sound is based on post-punk and New Wave styles, pretty similar to another great all-woman band from the 80's, the Go-Gos. The singing is done in both English and their native French. Their first album was LP1, which featured the hits "Loser", "Pop In, Pop Out" and the Joan Jett -inspired "Shake". Late last year they released "about love" - it's one of the best albums put out last year. Check them out, they're one terrific export from France.
1. The Plastiscines got their name from "plastiscine", a word found in the lyrics of the psychedelic Beatles hit "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". That word itself refers to a glue or cement which is sold in the U.K. and Europe.

2. The Plastiscines are the vanguard of what may well be a revival of rock'n'roll music. For over a decade there has been chumpy boy bands, gangsta (c)rap, American Idol puke pop, phony country, phony punk, phony r & b, stupid airheads who have zero talent who shake their butts (with dancers behind them), lip-syncing to a disc while people gawk in an empty-headed way, and other bullshit. Now here is an all-female rock group that writes and sings their songs and actually plays their own instruments. Yes they are young, cute and French (ooh la la) but they make and perform SONGS. Music is their #1 priority. How about them apples?

3. There's other fresh new bands too - the Danish boy/girl (ala Eurythmics) duo the Ravionettes, Datarock from Norway, the French band Phoenix and the new guitar goddess from Down Under - Orianthi Panagaris - all who are worth hearing. After so many years of musical hell and the "Worst Decade Ever" (the 00's), rock'n'roll and its culture may finally be coming back to life again. I hope so.

Califuckinfornia

1. In the liner notes of Jimmy Buffett's new CD ("Buffet Hotel") Jimmy explains the stories behind each song on the disc. For the number "Surfing In A Hurricane" he describes his early career on the Alabama shore yet having a strong desire of playing in California - "the Mecca of songwriters and surf culture." He compares the Alabama surf waves to the bigger ones in "Califuckinfornia".

2. you can also use the term to express amazement and delight for the State of Cali.
1. My last year in the military was spent in various commands in Northern California. I've been in San Francisco, Sausalito, Mount Tamalpais, Napa Valley, Monterey, Sacromento, Alcatraz and other exciting places. Califuckinfornia is a state everyone should go visit. I love it.

2. Huey Lewis and the News, Green Day, the Tubes, Tommy Tutone, the Grateful Dead, the Doobie Brothers, the Eagles, Van Halen, NWA, Ratt,the Beach Boys, Hiroshima, Dead Kennedys and many more important music acts come from Califuckinfornia, dude! That's where's it's at.
