muckety-mucks

an American used to denote pompous, rich, stuffy, vainglorious, snobby aristocracy types who think they rule the world. Even if that is so, there are millions of planets orbiting millions of stars in this galaxy and in millions of galaxies, so the muckety-mucks can put that in their pipes and smoke it.

when I was eating at an Olive Garden in downtown Toronto, I asked this righteous babe of a waitress where the reputed Eaton mall was and what kind of people shop there. I had to define "muckety-mucks" to her since that term isn't used in Canada. I explained "fatcat", and had to define that word for her, too. She explained to me where I needed to go and remarked about my American vocabulary. We talked some more, then I payed the bill and laid down the tip and I was on my way.

STARFUCKS

The reason that Starbucks coffee's new logo doesn't have the ring around the woman icon. The ring had the name 'STARBUCKS COFFEE' on it. Not anymore.

During the past few decades, starting with the 1999 'Battle of Seattle' and thru the 'Occupy' movement and anti-G8 demonstrations and riots, it's the Starbucks cafes that often get trashed and vandalized. Violent anarchists often have defaced Starbucks logo signs by painting an 'F' over the 'B' in the company's name. So 'STARBUCKS' signs got vandalized to read as 'STARFUCKS'.

If these people want to rebel against predator companies they should go after Walmarts instead. Walmart destroys nearby competion by driving them away, they're anti-union and chump change, and they have that stupid-fuck loyalty slave cheer. Fuck Walmart.

Starbucks at least has a union and they are a coffee shop, even if their cups of joe are steeper and yups love them. Walmart fucks everybody over. Then again, when things get strained, violent anarchists are gonna do what they gonna. Their motto is 'FUCK SHIT UP'.

Either way, Starbucks removed that 'name circle' from their logo because anarchist rioters kept fucking up their name into 'STARFUCKS'. Ha ha.

family values

a catchphrase used by politicians to promote their images.
First used by Dan Quayle in the 1992 election.

Tom: that candidate promotes family values!

Jerry: that means that he beats and cheats on his wife, molests his kids, operates a meth lab on the side, and is a dogfucker.

Tom: Oh.

Phil the Shill

"Phil the Shill" is the title of an episode of Miami Vice that starred Phil Collins as a scam artist who immigrated to America from his native U.K. to escape taxes and prosecution. He was a TV game show host, later on he took a suitcase with over a million bucks in it and vanished. He reappeared on cable TV as televangelist "Father Phil", perfoming fake exorcisms and saying "give me your money, and I will give you a miracle". Phil Collins in real life is noted for his charm and amiability, and his portraying of an iritable greedy bastard shows that he makes a good actor as well as musician. He acted in theater as a kid and made his movie debut as a crowd extra in "A Hard Day's Night". Also check out the flick "Buster" from 1988.

Luke: Whatcha watchin' on the boob tube, dude?

George: Just a stupid infomercial hosted by Phil the Shill.

Super Trouper

1. a real cool cop who'd go out of the way for you and yet still be working on his job of maintaining security and keeping the peace.
Also super trooper.

2. the title dance track of an early 80s ABBA album.

1. I was at a free show at an outdoor mall opening one weekend and the featured band was Cheap Trick. I've seen them before and they really ROCK like there's no tomorrow. They ALWAYS give their best. The guitarist was flicking picks into the crowd and then he reached into a bucket and chucked a handful into the air. Several of them landed in the grass nearby. I politely asked this cop if he could retrieve one for me. He said he needed to keep his eye on the crowd. I merely suggested he'd do that while looking at me and I could dictate to him where to place his hand. He did just that while keeping watch on me. Soon he got a pick, I said "you can come up now", he handed me the guitar pick. I thanked him kindly, shook his hand and told him that he is a real super trooper. He didn't have to go all out for this but he did and I was very grateful for it. He asked if this was my first Trick show. I said no but this gig was thrilling nonetheless. He said he volunteers for duty at events like this a lot. He told me that he and his wife have seen Cheap Trick play over 30 times and that they play anywhere! What a guy.

2. Me and Greg were playing a game of Monopoly and John brought in two albums: "Super Trouper" by ABBA and "Love at First Sting" by the Scorpions. We had fun that afternoon.

Don't bore us, get to the chorus!

Basically, it simply means "quit pussyfooting around, get to the point", or KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) or "say what you gotta say". The phrase is also the title of a greatest hits release from the Swedish band Roxette that I got in an HMV store in downtown Toronto, Canada. That album was probably released in Canada only.

Professor: Communism evolved as a warped corruption of scientific socialism, which was expounded by the German scientist Karl Marx, who was born in...etc, etc, etc....

Student (thinking): Don't bore us, get to the chorus!
