Get the Lemmy mug.Cliffs of Dover is a song by instrumental Rock artist Eric Johnson (Johnson does sing in some of his other songs but Cliffs of Dover is instrumental.
Cliffs of Dover was first released on Johnson's "Ah Via Musicom" in 1990 and won a Grammy for Johnson for Best Instrumental Rock Performance in 1991.
Several versions of the song exist however since Johnson almost never plays the song the same way twice, commonly the intro or outro will have distinct variations in it which distinguish the version from others.
The song is also noted as one of the last songs played on the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock video game. The version on the game is a cover though and was not performed by Johnson himself. "Cliffs of Dover" has done for Eric Johnson what "Through the Fire and Flames" has done for DragonForce.

We went to the Steve Miller show and I didn't know the opening act but Dan went wild when this song he says is called Cliffs of Dover came on.

Get the Windows mug.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.

Get the Tlachtli mug."He's gonna find out
who's naughty or nice...
"He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake...
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
To town."
"I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus...
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night."
"Who 'comes' around on a special night?
Santa 'comes' around on a special night...
Who very soon will 'come' our way?
Santa very soon will 'come' our way..."
"Here 'comes' Santa Claus!
Here 'comes' Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!...
Hang your stockings...
'Cause Santa Claus 'comes' tonight...
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus 'comes' tonight."

Get the Santa mug.Crazy Taxi is a classic Dreamcast game that was converted to fit other platforms like the PS2 and others. The goal of the game is to get people to their destination as quick as possible. The quicker you get them there and the fewer cars you hit on the way the more money you'll get.
There are several moves that you can do with your car to help you like the crazy dash, crazy drift, crazy stop and others which must be mastered for best use. These however are either highly dangerous or impossible for a real car considering both the damage to your transmition and the physics behind them.

12yo kid: Wow, I just got $8,000 on Arcade mode in Crazy Taxi!
Me: Kid, you've got a long ways to go ((I seriously got $43,000 before in real life))
