Seamus took the pipe... apparently he was sick of the rain.

roach coach

A catering truck, especially one which frequents blue collar places of work; generally a modded pickup truck with insulated diamond-pattern doors covering a refrigerator case and a warmer unit with attached griddle.

"Naw, we wait till the roach coach comes around at 12:15 to take our lunch breaks around here."

nightlight

A stub signal left behind in an old format for users who have yet to convert to the new format. The term comes from the SAFER Act, a US law allowing analog TV stations to keep broadcasting information on digital conversion (and, in some cases, local news and emergency information) after the station has otherwise gone all-digital.

I tried running some old Mac software on an old Mac, but forgot the software I was using was PowerPC-only. Good thing the nightlight box popped up; now I have to go find my PowerBook G3.

completist

A person, usually a fanboy type, who desires to collect all the work of a specific author or artist. Most common with jazz and rock musicians, where studio outtakes and live performances are collected and traded. Generally mildly derogatory.

You'd think he'd give it up after the fourth Dick's Picks CD, but truth be told he's just an over-the-top Dead completist.
