Get the Tantalus's Cupboard (TC) mug.TC Stachington is the bravest soldier 'stache to ever have existed. He carries around a 200 lb man backpack while finding the enemy and eliminating them. TC leaves no one behind. TC will punch you in the face, then down a Shiner Bock with you and explain why you deserved it. TC loves kittens and pussy and they love him back. To steal a phrase from Action Figure therapy, TC is like a "mustache with titties.". Fuckin' Bad Ass.

The Enemy: "Where is that American Soldier TC Stachington? Find him!"
TC: "I'm right behind you."

Get the T.C.S mug.Named for the original case TC Syndrome is a condition where a lacrosse player, usually a middie, finds himself unable to score in a season despite receiving quality opportunities. It is often associated with bad luck and the player adjusting to a mostly defensive role. TC Syndrome is "cured" when the player finally scores. The initial goal is always followed by another in the same game, which will go on to be a victory. The goals are often of some significance, being scored in a close game or the final game of the season
After suffering from TC Syndrome all season, Sean Castle finally scored his two goals in the last game of the year.
