ceremonial code

Computer programming code (typically APIs in a framework) where the use requires many specific things to be done before and/or after it in order for it to function but had it been in a more elegant way, could have been eliminated entirely. Many times the designers of these frameworks feel that what they're doing is so big, complex and important that requiring the consumers to perform the ceremony is completely justifiable. If they make it easy for you, they don't think you'll appreciate their genius. It can many times be assumed that the author would add that you kneel before him/her before you get the privilege of using their API if that were practice didn't completely expose their douchbaggery. They tend to get off on their (over-engineered) "cleverness" (codesturbation) and want others to regard them as code masters as well.
Microsoft's .NET framework requires a lot of ceremonial code to accomplish some truly mundane tasks... whereas Ruby On Rails thinks all that ceremony is simply a waste of developer time.

Carbondale Coyote

Used to describe any female who desires anal intercourse during, or immediately following the performance of a live folk band.
She just turned into a Carbondale Coyote while The String Cheese Band was playing... She wanted it hard.

Cremona

place. Slightly weathered settlement devoid of any big-hamlet pretensions situated in the bouldering belt of Alberta. Locally famous for its Parrot Parade each September and the Alberta Sheep Wranglers Hall of Fame, Cremona seeks to embrace a greater degree of ethnic diversity and has recently twinned with Biggar, Saskatchewan.

Initially settled by Blackfeet indians who were victims of what has been called the European Extinction, Cremona is currently a hotpot of cultural diversity with no tinges of rabid monotheism.

Stone-boat constructionists, root-excavaters, and gravel percolation technicians mingle freely with the artists, artisans and articled accountants of Cremona at the many tables in the cafe.

Ice-hockey amuses the population as does curling, which seems to involve bowling large pieces of granite down a long, frozen, gravel-studded blanket.

.............................
Care to visit Cremona this week to get your bogey on and watch a curling rodeo?

Do I! Let me get my binoculars and a can of diet-coke!

Oh I think they have diet-coke in Cremona now!

Carbondale

A town in southern Illinois and home to southern illinois university home of the saluki. Carbondale has a rich history of party tradition consisting of riots during holloween. Holloween has been since banned starting in 1976. Home to the number one party school until 1997 but has remained in the top 20 to this day. A common school moto shared by all students is "C's with degrees." If you ever visit hit up the spillway which is a nonstop lake party in the spring. Also, make sure to take a trip down the strip where fun can always be found.

Carbondale

A gift from God. Carbondale contains more than enough of the three key elements for survival: beer, girls and...beer. Home of the legendary strip and Southern Illinois University, it is city law that one must "Wear their party pants at all times. Even in a fire."
Carbondale is a gift from God and SIUC is a gift from baby Jesus, while Wisconsin is a curse from hell.
