Cranksgiving

The grumpy alternative to the traditional 'merican Thanksgiving. In which individuals of various family groups gather together in one general area to over eat, drink, and socialize. The result of this gathering is oftentimes bickering, yelling, and general crassness. Overall emotional scarring is the goal.

Bill and Barb decided to visit their good-for-nothing children for Thanksgiving. Once they arrived, their spoiled, over-stimulated and under-exercised grandchildren, Matt and Jennifer greeted them at the door. The kids smirked half-assed smiles over their BlackBerrys while texting their incredibly co-dependent friends. Meanwhile in the kitchen, the consistency of the gravy was being battled over by Patsy, Bill and Barb's daughter, and their pea-brained son-in-law Steve. Making themselves at home Bill and Barb sat on the couch and tried to make conversation with the technologically dependent children. With no success except for some minor stares and nods, they decided to attempt to try and help with preparation for the afternoon feast. Finding refuge in the small confines of the sweltering kitchen, Barb felt a renewed sense of family, or was it the grumbling in her abdomen that made her feel the need to assist with the baking? Once the table to was set, food placed in it's distinct locations, cell phones turned off, teenagers appropriately managed, and everyone gathered, it was time to chow down. Yet again another happy Cranksgiving was had by all.

Crankshaft Bowl

A bowling tournament held by all the school districts in Ohio annually. It is most notably played between Centerville school district and Blue Valley school district. The winner gets the Edward R. Crankshaft memorial trophy. The trophy travels from year to year depending on who won it last. Centerville has won it the most times.

Ed: (jumping up and down in excitement) We won again! The Crankshaft Bowl is ours!! Take that Blue Valley schools!!

Roger: (running back and forth down the bowling lanes screaming) Centerville rocks! Centerville rocks!!

Elmer: (gets a real stern look on his face) Roger, shut up! So we won, big deal! I don't want to hear another word about it you hear me?

Roger: (is hurt by the sterness of Elmer's voice, begins to cry) I'm sorry, I just got excited.

Max: (really mad, blue steam coming out of his ears) You won't be so lucky next time, Crankshaft! Next time, Blue Valley is taking that trophy back to Ashtabula.

Ed: Easy, you'll win it someday, trust me. Just don't get so excited over it.

Steve: Yeah, take it easy. This is the Crankshaft Bowl. You're supposed to have fun with it.

Ed: (holding the trophy like a dumbell, crunching his bicep) Sweet victory! Burgandy and gold rule and navy and powder blue drool! (sets the trophy down and pumps his fist in the air three times)

crankshaft

The answer that one gives when asked a question that one either does not know or simply does not want to give an answer to. This response hails from the 'Churchill' car insurance advert in which their mascot dog (Named Churchill) is being asked questions. He gives the answer "CRANKSHAFT" before the lady asking the question has finished speaking.

Example 1:
A: "Do any of you know where my keys are?"
B: "CRANKSHAFT"

Example 2:
A: "What should I do in the event of a fire?"
B: "CRANKSHAFT"

Cranston West

The high school on the better side of Cranston. Full of kids who actually have the grades and the money to go to college, although we don’t even have to go to college because our daddies are still there to buy us what we want. Our money may not buy us happiness but it does buy us therapists and cocaine. Our parties are more lit because we can actually afford the good booze. The only deaths around here are suicides but I mean who isn’t suicidal these days? Our ACs may not work but we have AirPods to keep us cool. We don’t need heaters because hoes never get cold and we have Juuls to warm our lungs. Also haha we are hotter

Did you say Cranston West? How’s your dad doing?
