Freedom Tower 

A spindly half-arsed replacement for the imposing mass of the former WTC. To cut an analogy, the WTC kicked arse and played poker to win. The Freedom Tower will most likely trip over its own feet and break even at pontoon.

Magic: The Gathering 

The greatest trading card game ever. It must have been doing something right if it's lasted 11 years and is still in a growth phase.

Oh, and contrary to populare belief, you don't have to spend oodles of money just to win... That's why it's a TRADING card game, and why it's especially amusing to bolt together decks like U/G Madness or KCI and wipe the floor with all those moneycard-toting individuals.
The only major failing with MTG is that it's not potent enough an aphrodisiac. Yet.

Pop Idol 

Cheap TV show in which the entire country is canvassed by a panel of pop producers in order to find people with potential. These people with potential are then told to come back for a second audition so that Cowell and co. can discern which one is the most easily manipulated. There then follows the premise of a public vote, but we all know it's rigged anyhow.

I feel sorry for the people who win Pop Idol. They get paid craploads to flood the music industry with half-arsed shite and to take it up the arse from Pete Waterman.
The life cycle of a Pop Idol Winner:

August - Wins programme, lots of jubilation, gets fat record deal.
September - Releases first single. It gets to Number 1 and then bombs the next week.
October - The Sun newspaper publishes a revelation about this winner being gay/having an affair with a model/engaging in sordid group sex practices/whatever. Public don't really give a shit.
November - Having had their interest sparked by the previous month's press frenzy, their second single rockets.
December - They get to Xmas number 1.
January - Their next single bombs and we (thankfully) don't hear of them again.
May - Pop Idol starts up again.

Jerwoogle 

An amusing word. Just shout it at someone at random and they will fall into hysteria.
And like a coiled viper... he strikes...

JERWOOGLE!

Amusing Latin-style party dance:

1. Imagine you have a pencil up your arse.
2. Try to draw a figure 8 on the wall.
"Of course, when it came to dancing the Lambada, Johnny was without equal."

Roasting 

A gang bang. Where a string of men engage in one-after-the-other sex with a single woman. I personally not only pity her, but also whoever is number 11 on the team... Talk about Sloppy Seconds!!!
Apparently a buch of Premiership footballers were caught "roasting" some hooker in a pub in Croydon.

Elric of Melniboné, albino prince of ruins, spectacular, tormented. Wielder of the Black Sword, Stormbringer. Eternal Champion. Last ruler of the Bright Empire of Melniboné. Twice betrayed - first by his cousin Yyrkoon, and second by his sentient sword, which killed his only love, the princess Cymoril, in the final fall of Imrryr the Beautiful, the Dreaming City.

Some consider Elric of Melniboné to be the greatest anti-hero in all of science fiction and fantasy.
Although his saga is over, author Michael Moorcock occasionally writes interludes in the tale of Elric from time to time.
