Xyzzy's definitions

tax

1. Money paid to the government for the privilege to live in that state or administrative distribution. Typically, taxes are a portion of one's income which approaches 100% as one's income increases; however, the rich often find ways to cheat on their taxes. There are different types of taxes, as well, depending on how one makes and spends money. Many neoliberals claim taxes are immoral, even though the Bible itself requires a tithe of a flat 10% and a poll tax of one half-sheqel; I'd like to see these people live starting out with a debt ten times what they currently make and not be allowed to earn income.
2. To test.

1. "Most people don't like paying taxes."
2. "This is really taxing my patience."

ramen

Japanese instant noodles which come in cup or block form, popular with college students (who can't afford anything else) and otaku (who just like anything Japanese). As a connoisseur of cheap DIY meals, I've developed means of assigning ramen a rating on a scale of zero to four stars: One half-star for every flavor packet beyond the first, one star if it comes in its own cup, an extra half star if that comes with its own meat or vegetables, and a star and a half if the dry noodles don't remind me of Play-Doh.

Ramen's not as good as lo mein, but I got it at 1/40 the price the Jade Dragon was charging.

Ward Churchill

Wannabe Indian ethnic studies professor whose credentials no one bothered to check until he questioned Bush. Unlike David Yeagley, a wannabe Indian who couldn't decide his field and follows Bush lock-step and therefore is unquestioned even though his credentials are as suspect as Churchill's.

Now if only we could get all the wannabes to go the way of Ward Churchill.

Oedipus

A guy who accidentally killed his father and married his mother, not knowing who they were. Similarly, a man who hates his father and is too attached to his mother.

That mofo is one sick Oedipus.

Ahmed Chalabi

An international criminal who will bring law and order to Iraq. At least according to Bush.

Yanno, there are times when I think Baghdad Bob was right; most Americans think Iraqis are retarded, but we are retarded.

Axis of Evil

A speech which proves Bush's mental condition is approximately the same as John_-_Winston, John Grubor, Steve Hayes, Robert Ghostwolf, Archimedes Plutonium, Alexander Abian, Ed Conrad, and a dozen other net.personalities made famous by their ability to post bullshit to more than SIXTY newsgroups at once.

Iran, Iraq, and North Korea? Couldn't he have picked someone like Burkina Faso who no one's ever heard of?
