Get the Hiatus mug.An intresting piece of art in Berwyn, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). Completed in 1989, it featured 8 cars on a giant metal stake with a purple Volkswagon Beetle on the top. The sculpture gained national attention when it was featured in the 1992 film Wayne's World.
In 2007 the stripmall/plaza where the Spindle was located decided to tear it down to build a new Walgreen's pharmacy (replacing the already existing one due to the fact it lacked a drive-thru), even though there were other multiple locations to put it (they could've just simply made one out of the store's abandoned liqour section). Protests kept the demolition of it at bay for months until May 2, 2008 when the sculpture came down. The Walgreen's was completed in 2009, upsetting many residents because the Walgreen's final location did not enroach where the Spindle once stood.

I was able to get a picture of the spindle before it was destroyed because this nation is just too obese and can't walk a few yards to pick up there medicine.

Get the The Spindle mug.The day after Thanksgiving and official start of the Christmas shopping season. When stores open anytime in between midnight and 5 AM and set everything on sale. To promote the sale, a mass amount of advertising is used, causing everyone to forget their is a month until Christmas so they go to hell and back to get all their holiday shopping out of the way one day not even in the month of the holiday.
I haven't slept in almost 50 hours because my mom shoved us all in the car immediately after Thanksgiving dinner and made us go to Black Friday sales all damn day.

Get the Black Friday mug.A freaking hilarious 1996 movie based on the MTV animated series Beavis and Butthead. The plot of the film finds the duo looking for their stolen TV and, in doing so, becoming involved in the plot of two crooks and end up becoming "the most dangerous men in America".
Mike Judge, who also is the creator of the series, naturally voices the duo (among other series regulars) in the film, while guest voices for the film include Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman, Greg Kinnear, and David Letterman (though he was credited under a different name). The film's soundtrack includes music from White Zombie, Isaac Hayes, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and AC/DC.

I was gonna go to a party tonight, but I didn't feel well so I ended up watching Beavis and Butthead Do America.

Get the Beavis and Butthead Do America mug.A theatrical movie, usually a major blockbuster, that runs past it's designated release season (i.e. summer releases playing into fall, holiday movies in January or later, etc.) to the point where only a few theaters are showing them anymore, and there are usually less than ten people in the audience, and chances are most of them already saw it during it's initial release period.
Jane: Hey you wanna catch that new superhero flick this weekend?
Bob: I don't know, the theaters will be awfully crowded since it'll be just coming out. Let's wait a month or so until it becomes a lame duck film.

Get the Lame Duck Film mug.Chicago's American League and south side MLB team (as opposed to the Cubs, who play on the North Side). Often regarded as the "second team of the second city" in spite of:
*More world series titles (three to the Cubs' two) as well as the advantage of actually having won a title in the last 100 (or rather 105) years.
*A statistically better record over the last 25 years (i.e. more winning seasons than losing)
*A newer, nicer stadium that helps provide a happy, fun, comfortable ballgame experience (Wrigley may have more history and outer beauty, but it's a different story inside the ballpark)
*Fans who, though not above taunting and harassing, will actually respect players and fans of the opposing team (unlike Cubs fans, who enjoy turning aggressive on innocent fans and players when things don't go their way)

When the White Sox lose, they admit it was the result of bad playing by their team or much better playing by the other, and look to build a better team from that point regardless.
When the Cubs lose, they blame some ridiculous "curse" or even one of their own fans and let yet another defeat become more and more part of the team's history and daily life

Get the White Sox mug.A stretch of time in popular music where modern Rock bands reduce guitar use in their music in favor of keyboards and electronics. Usually lasts about 3-5 years. This does not mean guitar oriented music doesn't receive radio airplay or that the bands in question remove the instrument from their music altogether.
The time this definition was written could be considered a dead guitar era, with the rise in prominence of bands like Imagine Dragons.
