The series of cords needed to run your life from a desk or armchair, by connecting all your computer equipment, entertainment devices, and lamps. Cable spaghetti can be recognized by its nexus at a surge protector. Most appliances have at least one cord or cable; many have several. Wireless devices are represented in the spaghetti by their various rechargers, none of which are compatible, so you must have a different one for every device.
"I use velcro wraps to contain my cable spaghetti." "I had to deal with the cable spaghetti behind my desk to add speakers to my computer at work."

Get the cable spaghetti mug.The rancorous, full contact , and often brazenly partisan haranguing displayed on cable news networks (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS). The phrase was popularized by President Obama during an NBC interview.
Olbermann: Lets cut the Cable Chatter and get serious. America needs real solutions.
Hannity: cut taxes...cut taxes....
Olbermann: But America needs to fund road repairs and medicaid.
Hannity: Cut Taxes... Ronald Reagan...Cut taxes...
Olbermann: But public schools and Veteran Hospitals?
Hannity: CUT TAXES!!! Democrats are SOCIALISTS!!!! Reaaaaagaaaaaan!!!!

Get the Cable Chatter mug.An awesome puzzle made from a number of small cubes ("cubies") slotted together around a pivot mechanism, which can allow rotation of the cubies. The classic 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube is three cubies in width, length and depth, although there are many other variants of the cube (e.g. 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x cubes as well as the "-minx" puzzles).
The cubies have coloured stickers on them: once they have been rotated to random points around the cube (via 'scrambling'), the object of the puzzle is to make each of the cube's faces all one colour, with all of the cubies correctly oriented.
There are a number of different formulae which can be used to solve the Rubik's Cube, using different combinations of rotations called algorithms. The beginners' one is the 'Layer Method,' which consists of solving 1 layer at a time. It is a simple but relatively slow method. Advanced methods, used by "Speedcubers," have more complex algorithms, but they can be used to solve the cube faster. Some of these methods include the 'Fridrich Method,' the 'Petrus Method,' and the 'Roux Method.'

The current record for the fastest solve of the Rubik's Cube is 7.08 seconds, held by Erik Akkersdijk.

Get the Rubik's Cube mug.A small retirement town, that also includes a SUNY college. Major emphasis is placed on cows, and cow dung, or feces, and its current applications. This rural town is often referred to as the "Black Hole of NY" or "Dark Gapping Anus of NY." Upon entering the outskirts, and making the "Decent of Despair" down the Central Bridge hill, you will fall under the valley's spell of infinite sadness, and dark depressing ways.
I came down the decent of despair, the clouds rolled in, and I knew I was miserable. Welcome to Cobleskill.

Get the Cobleskill mug.To have chocked, to have had made it close but never having made it all the way, to have continually come up short, to have lost in an often comical way. In reference to the Chicago Cubs of the MLB. Past tense of cub.

Get the ice cube mug.Refers to the art of arranging the cables inside one's computer case in a very tightly-integrated, neat, airflow-friendly manner. (This is especially important for those with windows in their rigs.) Derived from the Japanese "origami", the art of paper folding. Cablegami not only involves folding and twisting of cables, but, like origami, it is maddeningly difficult to do well.
"Man, did you see the cablegami that guy with the acrylic case pulled off?"
"Yeah, for a second I thought he had a wireless hard drive."
