Carting is holding on to a shopping from a moving car and then accelerating. Once an appropriate speed is reached the shopping cart is released and it shoots off like a missile. Carting was invented in Whiting, Indiana in the late 70s.

This definition dating from the jazz age is a house on the major street where all the action is. People living there would near fine restaurants, live music and nightclubs. Out your window you would see people wearing their sunday best as they walked down the boulevard.
Life was never better than when we lived at the boulevard house.
One thing I miss about the boulevard house is looking out the window and seeing all those people dressed to the nines.

Meaning a car that is big and fast. This term is a reference to the discontinued Oldsmobile Delta 88. The Delta was the last of the family-size musclecars like the Impala SS 409 and the Pontiac Catalina Super Duty 421 of the early sixties. The legendary Delta was known for its rocket engine. The most powerful was the Rocket 455 4 barrel.
I just put a blower on my Lincoln Town Car, its a Delta now.
That Bentley is a Delta.
I got a Delta, let's go carting.

A nick name used by most residents of Lake County, Indiana and the East-side of Chicago for 119th street in Whiting, IN. Once a major cruising destination, its now fallen on hard times. No longer do truckloads of teenagers sit in their vechiles all night long.

Log Off the Internet Day was started by a group of activists and thinkers in 1999 to make the public aware of the impacting is making on real life communities. Log Off the Internet Day is celebrated on the first Saturday after the start of summer in your hemisphere on which you are supposed to stay off the internet. No email, chat, IMs, gameplaying or surfing. A time to go to a movie, see some friends, ride a bike, be with your family.
I totally celebrated Log Off the Internet Day and went for a bike ride.
My second life wife got mad because I spent some time with my first life wife on Log Off the Internet Day.

The intersection of 119th Street and Indianapolis Blvd. Do to its proximity to Chicago, during the 1930s this was one of the busiest intersections in the country. There was once the architectural landmark of the Illiana Hotel but it was demolished during the early 90s. The only remenant of its long vibrant history is one of the orginal White Castles. Even though the term is used sarcastically by young people in their twenties, there are remenents of truth in it.
