shelter in place

The government telling people to stay home, stock up on rice and pasta and toilet paper. Shut the blinds and hide inside, and binge watch Netflix and video games for a while till the threat is gone. Its not very strict since you can technically still go out for “essentials” like toilet paper and pop tarts. Certain places stay open, but a lot of places close.

Bay Area government: “We are ordering people to shelter in place beginning Tuesday March 17, for the next 3 weeks in response to the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the world”

Hysteric Public: “wtf?!? I need to go to Safeway and get all the toilet paper! Then wait in line at Costco for 4 hours to get all the Purell to fill a bathtub to disinfect myself and bleach to disinfect my stomach! (Jk, don’t do that please. Bleach kills, DO NOT DRINK BLEACH!)”
Concerned public: “So it’s like a quarantine? Are we allowed to leave our homes? What about our jobs? And the (insert something here) convention this weekend?”
Bay Area government: “Not a quarantine, you can leave your home for essentials. Businesses deemed essential like grocery stores and petCo (dogs have to eat too) will remain open. Restaurants will have to close and do takeout/deliver only. Healthcare workers will continue. All public gatherings of like 10 or more people will have to be canceled, sorry. Also if you have to go out, keep a distance of 6’ between yourself and other people. So try not to freak out”

shelter patina

the dirty look that homeless people acquire over time, generally a mix of urine, spilled beer, shelter soup, general filth, and who knows what else.

Have you been working on your tan or did you pick up a shelter patina during Lollapalooza?! It takes time and a genuine devotion to develop a true shelter patina. You can't fake the shelter patina.

The Specter

The act of having a girl sit on her hand for 20 minutes till her hand goes numb. She then proceeds to jerk you off. (i.e. a stranger from a stranger)

That bitch Shelly gave me The Specter last night, and it made my penis go "huh."

Bus Shelter Kids

Guy 1: Look at that fat chick
Guy 2: Yeah fucking bus shelter kids

Shelterbelt

The shittiest program ever written. Shelterbelt is a filtering proxy written by Twotrees that blocks every fucking thing on the Internet of any value whatsoever (even Bing and Google Mobile, and Bing is the default search provider on the entire network). It blocks most proxy sites (and if it doesn't, once you actually use the proxy, you're instantly suspended from the Internet and your activity and username are recorded and sent to the admin), but Ultrasurf and TOR work just fine when their proxy settings are configured correctly.

Student A: Hey, why don't you look that up on Bing?
Student B: *types keywords into IE search bar* DAMNIT! SHELTERBELT BLOCKED IT!
Student A: But how? It's the default search engine on our entire network?
Student B: Ask our network admin after preschool and his daily nap.
