Snoopy is a beagle dog that cartoonist Charles Schwartz features in the most popular comic strip in the world, "Peanuts". Snoopy has also been featured in movies, songs, etc. and is now an American icon. His independent nature has also made him a symbol of the "free spirit" attitude as well as what is good about America and its culture.
1. I've seen "Peanuts" strips in several languages like German, French, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Greek and many more.
2. In college I saw a collection of items used in Roman Catholic parishes thruout the world. One item of note was a hymnal smuggled from communist China, where religious practices of any kind generally aren't allowed. Each page had Chinese musical notation and the lyrics to a song (of course, I couldn't read the words!). At the bottom of each hymn page was a sketched drawing of Snoopy. He was always looking sad, sitting on a swing and crying, or looking out a window, or in some other sad or melancholy state. No doubt this was a relection of the total lack of liberties and freedoms in China today. In this case Snoopy represents joy, cheer, happiness and freedom, and in a totalitarian state there are none of those things.

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.

1. a person who appears to be solemn and calm in public, yet really lets loose and gets wild during afterhours or while alone with one person, like a lover.
2. a glam metal band that scored big in the 80s. Their first international album "Metal Health" made it to the top of the album chart in the autumn of 1983. It is the first heavy metal album to top the chart. Also, "Cum On Feel the Noize" ( a Slade cover), "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)", "Slick Black Cadillac", "Run for Cover" and more from that album were hits. Other hits the band scored were "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "Party All Night", "Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet", "Condition Critical", the funk-inflected "The Wild and the Young" and a lot more. Singer Kevin DuBrow was found dead this week, as of yet no information has been released about his death. Heavy metal underwent a further step in it's evolution in the 80s when the vocals became more screamed, a tendency that was spearheaded by bands like AC/DC and Def Leppard, and Kevin was more than fit for the job - he could belt them out with the best of them. He was notorious for his wild antics on stage. At a 2000 concert in Columbus, Ohio he talked about glam metal's glory days in the fun 80s and how the music scene changed in the "fucking PC 90s" (his exact words). He made the band what it was. He was 52. RIP Kevin. Rest your head, weer really are all crazee now. VIVA ROCK'N'ROLL!

1. Mike acted like an introvert in class, but after school he dropped LSD into his soft drink and made out with and screwed his girlfriend underneath the bleachers. He was a complete quiet riot. Very few people knew of this.
2. When Quiet Riot played live in concert they were anything but quiet. You could do what their signature song says - bang your head. Quiet Riot ROCKs!

in the U.S. Navy a phrase used to express mock sympathy, basically meaning "too bad" or "poor baby" (in a sarcastic way). Also known as "wah-fucking-wah".
George: Can I borrow some money for lunch today? Over the weekend I got blitzed and bought sex with a skank. Now I got no cash to pay off my credit card bill.
Joey: Wah!
Joey: Wah!

the product that results when everything that issues from a person's mouth is a flood of wet runny shit.
I was looking in a magazine and there was an article of "things you can get for your loved ones this Christmas". There were the latest audio-books, movies, recorded speeches anthologies and then there was the recorded "works" of every Rush Limbaugh radio session to date. The writer referred to that as "verbal diarrhea". Honest!

quite simply this term is a contraction of "celebrity" and "lesbian". Of course that means that she's famous, even if only for the Warholian 15 minutes, or for much longer.
Ellen Degeneres is a notorious celesbian. She was the first to "come out" on TV. Thing about that is, the lovely Laura Dern should've been kissing me instead ; )
2. Other celesbians are Melissa Etheridge (she "came out" during Prez. Bill Clinton's inaugeration bashola), k d lang, Tracy Chapman, the Indigo Girls, Phranc, Amanda Bearce, Candace Gingrich, Dick Chaney's daughter (yes), Rosey O'Donnell and many more.

quite simply, any prison where inmates serve their sentences with "hard labor". It's a reference to "breaking rocks in the hot sun" as described in "I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash, depending on what generation you belong to.
David Do-No-Good got sentenced to 12 years at a pebble factory (along with other things) because he sexually molested his very young daughter. It's unbelievable why anyone would do such a horrible thing like that.
