Get the Gameboy Advance mug.A common term referring to a soldier who is part of a special ops group, from the US Army's Rangers to the US Navy SEAL's. Counterterrorist units are also special-forces.
"Look at all those soldiers out there in Iraq."
"Actually those are Rangers."
"Oh...special-forces?"
"Absolutely. Special-forces are the ones who fight wars these days."

Get the special forces mug.The president of China....apparently he's the world's 3rd worst dictator. He is known for enforcing online spies & executing roughly 4000 people a year.
Libby-Lib : "I'd rather have Hu chink for president instead of Bush."
Me : "And you liberals claim to be so smart."
Libby-Lib : "We are man! We know the truth behind this country!"
Me : "Have you ever bothered to think that the truth is something you find on your own, and not from others?"
Libby-Lib : "Have you ever bothered to think that what they are saying IS truth?"
Me : "Ugh....someone shut this crybaby up..."

Get the Playing Sonic mug.In the programming language Prolog, a cut (articulated by the exclamation point) removes all choicepoints created by the preceding statement. Use of the cut is deprecated, or at least discouraged.
A choicepoint is a fork-in-the-road to a Prolog program. Multiple branches of possibilities are saved at this point, with the intention of returning (or "backtracking") to a different path if the current one does not lead to success.
Too many choicepoints, and the program may run out of stack. (ie. Not have enough memory available to store all previous opportunities for different paths.) A cut can prevent this, if used properly, by erasing choicepoints that are no longer relevant or necessary.
For those of you still with me, it's about 2am and I'm tripping on psilocybin mushrooms. So you're going to have to bear with me. Right now, I could use some exclamation points. I'm in serious need of a cut, as the several preceding paragraphs are no doubt proof of.
This nice little analogy probably isn't too clear to anyone outside my head, but to me, the brain normally behaves like a Prolog program with an abundance of exclamation points. Stray thoughts are "cut" out of existence before they can either clog one's brain, or exit via the mouth and manifest themselves as an act of stupidity. In an absence of cuts, however, thoughts may grow out of control and essentially clog one's head. This absence of cuts may be achieved though the use of drugs conventionally classed as "hallucinogens", whether intentional or not.
This absence can be advantageous in moderation, as it can allow thoughts that would normally be subconsciously expelled as absurd or even primitive to blossom into new ideas. But as previously stated, a cut is useful every now and then just to "clear one's head" if the thoughts become overpowering or focusing on any one idea becomes difficult.
And I think this little essay is a good example of the absence of cuts, what they can lead to and why the cut is necessary in day-to-day life. So please, someone hand me an exclamation point.

Me: "I need some explanation points."
Trip buddy 1: "What?"
Me: "I need some explanation points."
Trip buddy 2: "Are you Einstein?"
Prolog code example:
factorial(N,M) :- N < 0, !, fail.
factorial(0,1).
factorial(N,M) :- X is N-1,
factorial(X,Y),
M is N * Y.
