Robb: I caught Cliffy playing technician roulette today.

Mel: What did you tell him?

Robb: I told him the same thing everyone else told him: reboot.

Mel: And he said he was too busy to reboot?

Robb: Yep.

Mel: Too bad. Better luck next tech, Cliffy!

Animal Crack 

Addict's term for the video game "Animal Crossing" or its sequel, "Animal Crossing: Wild World".

Derived from the compulsion to dedicate inordinate amounts of time to one or more of the game's voluntary missions: making friends, writing them letters and sending them ugly clothes, expanding your house, paying off your mortgage and expanding your house again, collecting all the furniture in a set, fishing, donating fossils to the museum, building a second town, planting fruit trees, getting iglooed, hitting unwanted neighbors with a butterfly net...
Mel: Gotta play Animal Crack. Haven't seen the exotic bed yet.

Robb: Or, you could go to work.
