Quite simply, it's the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The melody was taken from a British pub song and new lyrics were added. The song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing, and even though many famous people have sung it at sporting events, VERY few have ever got it right.
I was watching the 2004 Summer Olympics on TV. They were being broadcast (taped) from Greece. The U.S. womens soccer team had won the Gold medal in the game finals. When they received their medals in a ceremony most of them joined in a vocal rendition of the star spangled banner . It was the most wretched, lousy and downright godawful version of that anthem I ever heard in my life, and I've heard plenty of horrible renditions. This was the famous 15 minutes for the ladies, since the networks, the press (and the general public pretty much too) don't really give a rat's ass about womens sports, let alone soccer as much as they do about football, baseball and basketball - especially as played by men. A moment of national pride for the U.S.A., forgotten in a flash. And so it goes.

1. A famous movie monster from Japan that stars in a series of cult movies that were started in the 1950s. Godzilla rests in the Pacific Ocean and is aroused by a nuclear bomb test held underwater. He has a distinct yell as he wades to the Japanese shore and trashes Tokyo. He also breathes radioactive "fire". In an authentic Godzilla flick you can see the actors speak Japanese but the English dubbing makes it so that what you hear is not what they say. In 1998 an "American" version came out with a computer generated monster (as opposed to the classic man in a costume) that didn't resemble the original beast at all. This bastardized movie had Godzilla tearing up New York City (how the hell did he get over THERE?) and the story is absolutely horrible. Avoid this movie like the plague. Stay FAR away.
2. a hit for the American heavy metal band Blue Oyster Cult.
3. an adjective that describes anything domineering and that takes up space, leaving little room for anything else.

1. to corremorate the new millenium, Japanese film producers released "Godzilla 2000".
2. ... oh no! They say he's got to go, go go Godzilla! Woo hoo hooo...
... History shows again and again how nature wakes up the folly of man. GODZILLA!
3. Jim's Godzilla machine of a pickup truck took up so much space I had to park my Ford right next to the hedges.

a puddle of puke. A pile of bullshit. A bundle of lies.
"Stick it out
Don't swallow the poisssonnn.
Spit it out
Don't swallow the lies..."
RUSH

Dogs go back to a puke puddle and lick it all up. Trained Pavlov dogs who can't think for themselves keep falling for all the bullshit coming from snake oil salesmen, corrupt politicians, money-stealing gurus, rip-off artists and more. People need to start thinking on their own and quit lapping up puke puddles.

a kids TV program that aired in the 70s, maybe 80s too. Now it is a slang term for something that insults people's intelligence and is just a batch of hokey happy horseshit.

When I was in the Minneapolis - St. Paul airport I went to the souvenir shop and got a fridge magnet that had a picture of a red apple with icicles coming down from the top. A caption underneath said "Welcome to the Minneapple".

when some thing or some situation is REALLY awful to the max, then it sucks AIDS infected cougar cock.
When I was in the medical clinic's waiting room the TV was on the TVLand channel and it was showing an episode of Miami Vice. It became very clear to me about how most TV shows of today truly suck AIDS infected cougar cock.
