SNF

SNF is short for Sunday Night Football currently aired on NBC. It's another money guzzler thing the major American football broadcasting companies are pulling.
I watched SNF as my final gasp before the work week started again but it was one hell of a Sunday finale; Cowboys-Eagles at 1, Giants-49ers at 4, Colts-Pats on SNF at 7 and Packers-Bears on MNF.

Addicting Games

Addicting Games is a game website where many free games (and a la carte extras for those games) are released. A successful release on AG (as it's abbreviated) could launch a game into eternal fame but a bug in the game could doom the game and its creator forever.

Addicting Games ia frequented mainly by kids under 13 years of age and if there's a chain comment thing going you'll know there's one (games can be commented on but sadly they're used more for chain comments and giving out way to much personal information like ASL).

Double Bogey

Since a bogey is a single cigarette a double bogey usually means chain smoking or smoking 2 cigarettes in a short amount of time but it can also be used to describe a 100's version of a cigarette, a blunt/joint or a cigar. Double bogey is almost never used to reference pipe-based smoking things like bongs or hookah.
That last customer really seemed like she had PMS. I could really use a double bogey right now.

Rocky VII

"Rocky V" is the nickname for the popular Super Bowl XLII commcercial for Budweiser. Seeing how there has not yet been a seventh installment of the series the ad has inherited the spot (not to say that a future Rocky film won't be named the same).

The summary of the commercial is that a Clydesdale (the specific type of horses that Budweiser uses in ads recently who represents Rocky since Rocky is nicknamed the Italian Stallion) isn't selected to pull the iconic Budweiser wagon. Naturally, the horse is dissapointed yet is uplifted by the influence of a dalmation who represents Apollo Creed. The dalmation trains the horse (a la Rocky IV where the horse runs through the snow like Rocky in Siberia) and the horse makes the crew at the next tryouts for a spot on the wagon's team. The commercial ends with a sarcastic pound of the horse's hoof to the dalmation's paw.
Person 1: What was your favorite commercial this year?
Person 2: I liked Audi with "The Godfather Part IV".
Person 1: I'd go with Budweiser and Rocky VII.

Tlachtli

Tlachtli is an ancient form of a ballgame played by various cultures although it is generally associated with the Aztecs. The exact pronounciation is as it's spelled but because of the basic translation of native languages to Spanish during the Inquisition it's not how it originally was pronounced.

Anyways, tlachtli was overall a brutal sport, rugby and American football have little on this sport. The game was played with a hard rubber ball (came right off of rubber tress) which became as hard as rock when temperatures dropped. Weighing anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds 2-5 players per team had to hit the ball with their elbows, hips or legs through a stone ring that was placed above the court typically several feet high.

The walls of the court it was played in were slanted So that the ball could make a feable attempt at bouncing off and helped the odds of getting the ball into the stone ring. The court was set up like modern volleyball, one team on one side and the other team on the other side. In some cases the game would go on for days with no break until one team got the ball through the ring to score a point.

The cultural importance of the game was huge to the Ancient Central American people because they would use the game for both weather predictions and as a form of human sacrifice. Priests and fortune tellers would study the path of the ball and they would create primitive forms of almanacs out of their predictions. Also at the end of the game either the winning team (the team that got the ball through the hoops the most) or the losing team would be offered to the ancient gods as sacrifice (the team to be sacrificed likely depended on the tribe such as Aztecs, Incas, ect).

Some modern artifacts remain from the ball courts. In fact a near completely-intact court remains today at Chichen Itza.
We played our own form of tlachtli on Saturday and it was brutal! Our ankles killed like crazy and we'd only scored a few points.

Shoot the rainbow

This is a term derived from the Skittles catchline "Taste the rainbow". To shoot the rainbow you must have Skittles-infused vodka and you must take consecutive shots of each of the 5 flavors (normally Skittles vodka requires separation of the different colors, otherwise you just get disgustingly sweet vodka). Some people use various color orders when shooting the rainbow but the most common order goes red (strawberry), orange (WTF do you think the flavor is if the thing's color is "orange"?), yellow (lemon), green (lime) and lastly purple (grape). Sometimes red and yellow are switched so that the order goes by color depth or some people just by their own taste.
The bartender last night said that they had made a lot of Skittles-infused vodka and recommended that we shoot the rainbow. He might as well have been selling crack since we all got 2 rounds of 5 shots and wanted more!
