mp3
an audio format in the mpeg compression family. by removing frequencies that are higher or lower than the human hearing thresholds file size is significantly smaller than that of a wav file, which includes all frequencies, audible or not.
mp3 has become synonymous with music piracy, though that isn't neccessarily so. even p2p file sharers like kazaa are completely legal...it's only some of the content that isn't

pogs
thin cardboard discs about the diameter of a half-dollar coin. the term "pog" comes from a bottled fruit punch in hawaii, with the primary flavors {p}assion fruit, {o}range and {g}uava; the cardboard discs would come out of the lid.
after a while, pogs caught on in mainstream US culture, so companies sold the discs minus the drink and bottle. the mass produced pogs were decorated with lil pictures.
pogs are utilized in a game in which they are stacked up in lil piles. the players throw heavy, thick discs of plastic or metal (about the diameter of the pogs) at them. when the pogs settle after being bashed, whichever ones land face up are kept by the thrower of the slammer. the one with the most pogs wins.
pogs are no longer popular. like furby they were simply a fad that died out.

furby
electronic toy by tomy(?). the furby is simply a small, poor quality motherboard covered in fur.
the furby can "interact" with humans. you can rub his tummy (press a button there), massage his back (press a button there), yell at it (sound sensors pick up loud noises and trigger a seizure for the furby), and blind it (cover the light sensor on its head and trigger another seizure).
when a furby first starts up or gets reset, it only talks (plays predefined words) in a limited, shoddy "language" called "furbish." as time continues, the furby "speaks" english - giving the illusion that by speaking to it, you teach it english (sort of like a little child). furbies cannot learn english from you; it has preset words. however, you can buy mod chips that make it swear.
the furby is known for being one of the most annoying pieces of shit ever. however, it went through a fad period where there was unbridled buying of them.

hot topic
a mighty fine shop. probably the only place besides ebay that i can purchase a wide variety of neat shirts (tees, fishnets, you name it). also a good place to pick up some non-traditional-colored hair dye and temporary hair color, and the only place i really get my jelly bracelets from.
penguin
a very unique flightless(?) bird that lives mainly in the poles, but also in the galapagos. they like to eat fish. penguins are renowned for being adorable.
penguins make bizaare sounds. imagine a kazoo - thats the closest thing to it.
tux, a goofy looking penguin, is the linux mascot. usually different distros of linux have their own modified picture of tux.

happy place

porkchop sandwiches
sandwiches whose meat is porkchops. being that whenever i have porkchops they are rather dry and tough, porkchop sandwiches sound none too appetizing.
