An office phenomenon in which a colleague, tired from boredom, sleep deprivation, or partying, is fighting the urge to fall asleep in a multi hour review meeting. The eyes shut for brief seconds and then half open as the victim is hanging on to the last thread of alertness.
After hour two of the weekly operations review meeting, Ed was observed going into screen saver mode. His colleagues enjoyed watching his battle with consciousness.

Get the Screen Saver mug.A song by the industrial metal group Nine Inch Nails, all credits to Trent Reznor.
TheThe video for Happiness In Slavery features performance artist Bob Flanagan ritualistically washing himself and removing all of his clothing before strapping himself into a machine that subsequently tortures, rapes and kills him. Meanwhile, Trent Reznor watches and screams the lyrics from behind a metal gate, which opens at the end of the video, leaving Trent to enter the room himself. The video was universally banned. All footage in the video was real, except for the final killing of Flanagan, as Flanagan often fought the pain of cystic fibrosis by inflicting malicious damage on his own body.
The song, released only on 12" promotional single and the EP "Fixed" (Otherwise known as Halo 5) was not however released on CD and does therefore not have its own Halo Number. Although promotional CD containing only the track as it appears on the Broken EP was released, this too had no Halo Number

Get the Happiness In Slavery mug.The Free State Project (or FSP) is a group of individuals who make the decision to move to different areas around New Hampshire for "liberty in their lifetime" They come from all over the United States. Though they all desire personal freedom, they all have different means of reaching it. Their are Libertarians, Anarchists, Voluntaryists, Ron Paul Republicans, and the list goes on. Some prefer to not even have a label. Many try to change laws through protests, some through the courts systems. Others more blatantly, such as last year's 4:20 rallies. No one person shares the exact same opinions and/or goals, but they all respect one another and work towards their personal freedom.

Get the Free Staters mug.by george bush ftw March 2, 2009
Get the slavery mug.A citizen of any state whose electoral votes went to a republican in tbe last election. So-called because of network news' electoral maps. Interestingly, the populations in red states have lower than average IQs, lower than average earnings, underfunded public schools, higher rates of poverty, homelessness, disease and crime; and every "red state" in the country recieves more federal funding than it pays (read:welfare).
Red staters are easy to spot. They drive 30 miles to Wal Mart to save .08 on a jar of mustard. That is, when they're not burning a cross on their neighbor's yard because he didn't go to church this week; or beating up n*ggers, gays or jews. They believe they're God's chosen even though they're lucky if they make more than $6.00/hour working the drive through at Hardee's.

Get the red stater mug.A run down shit hole town to the North East of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England. Also known as 'brown town' due to the high prevalence of heroin (brown).
The residents consist manly of chavs, single mums on benefits and smackheads. Most of the population live off state benefits in squalid, rat-infested council houses. Those which have a legitimate job are employed by the town's sole employer, Morrison's supermarket. Staveley's main exports are as follows: 1.heroin 2. counterfeit cigarettes 3. 13 year old prostitutes 4. stolen goods from Morrisons 5. stolen car stereos/mobile phones/plasma screen TV's etc. The main social hub of the town is the Miners working men's club on the main road, locally known as 'Hitler's bunker'.
Residents lead simple, pathetic lives with no hope nor ambition of acheiving anything better. A typical staveley female will aspire to having children at an early age (typically 15-16), eventually acquring several more, usually with multiple partners. She will therefore qualify for a free council house which will usually be a complete slum. The average male here will attend no more than 3 days schooling in his lifetime and will aspire to be the 'hardest man on the estate' as this is their version of respect. They will put most of their effort into cultivating this image as a complete hard-nut psycho, usually by attacking weedy, unarmed individuals in gangs of 20 with baseball bats and hammers. They also have a wierd liking for 13 year old girls. Respect may also be earned for having 'the hardest dog on the estate'. Young male chavs bolster their hard-man image by acquiring vicious beasty canines (usually banned breeds).
Local cuisine consists of beef and tomato flavor pot noodle, happy shopper baked beans/tinned spaghetti and chips all washed down with a litre of cheap cider such as White Star. Local smackheads are known to do a special deal known as "5 items for a fiver", meaning any 5 items of the customers' choice stolen from the local Morrisons for £5.
The home office advice to non-residents is to avoid entering the area unless in an armoured vehicle (with all valubles removed and everything securely bolted down). An armed guard is also a sensible precaution.
