Wal-Mart Bingo

A variation of bingo, but instead of calling out letters/numbers, the caller describes things that can be seen at Wal-Mart, and the players cover squares on their cards if described scene is on a square.

Examples:

a poopy diaper in the parking lot

a 250 lb. 13 year old boy with his 350 lb. father and 450 lb. mother

an old man outside the store with an oxygen tank and smoking a cigarette

an infant wearing a Dale Earnhart t-shirt

a 30 year old woman with her pregnant 14 year old daughter

an obese white woman with 3 bi-racial kids

in the parking lot, a beat up 1981 van, out of which spills empty White Castle boxes when the door is opened

etc

Wal-Mart Bingo is fun

The Dirty Side

A term used by over-the-road truckers referring to the east coast of the United States, with its large congested cities, pollution, crime, and grime, as contrasted to the western United States with its wide open spaces, natural beauty and clean air.

I was glad to get back to the West after spending two weeks on the Dirty Side.

the toilet dream

a dream where you are on the toilet taking a dump, and the toilet is somewhere in a public place, surrounded by a crowd of people, like in a shopping mall for example.

I have dreamed of sitting on a toilet that was:

on the side of a busy highway

on the side of a beachfront hotel in Florida (at least the

toilet was facing the beach, so I had an ocean view)

In a restroom, but the restroom was open at both ends

and throngs of people were walking through, and there

was no stall, just a toilet

etc etc

In my toilet dreams, I usually casually converse with

passers-by as I sit on the toilet

I had the toilet dream again last night, and I was waiting for people to go away so I could wipe my ass, but they wouldn't go away

waiter's nightmare

A bad dream experienced by persons who wait tables for a living. The details in the dream may vary, but the one constant of all waiters nightmares is a full station (assigned tables) of unhappy customers (or members if the establishment is a private club). A common WN is arriving late at work and finding your station already full to capacity. Another common one is not being able to get organized, and realizing you have forgotten to turn in an order to the kitchen for a table that has been waiting a long time. Coming out of the kitchen with a tray of entrees and dropping it on the floor is a favorite. One of the more disturbing waiters nightmares is having a large table of people, or maybe even more than one table in the party, and after waiting for what seems like hours for their food to come up, and it's like midnight and all other customers and wait staff are long gone, and you go into the kitchen to check on your food, and all the cooks have cleaned up the kitchen and left, and didn't make your table's food.

Anybody who has worked as a server is familiar with the waiter's nightmare

banal

adjective, describes something that is intended to be creative and/or thought-provoking, but is really just kind of unoriginal, pretentious, and stupid.

I like most of the Doors' music, but Jim Morrison's poetry is just plain banal.
