heck of a job

Total screw-up. Usually used ironically, to indicate when someone's self-delusion is in direct contradiction to well-known and easily-observed facts.

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

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.

Crazy Horse

An Oglala holy man. His memory has been tarnished by malt liquor, prostitutes, sex clubs, and a lot of other vices which would be along the lines of "Pope John Paul II Abortion Clinic".

"Anything a white man says about Crazy Horse is a lie."
