The Harp-Oil Government

Share definition
A collection of mostly ex oil industry employees, paid to continually harp and shill about the pristine virtues of ethical oil so clean you could drink it, ad-nauseam, and to ensure that the misguided global warming problems of "other" countries don't slow down the escalating air pollution dreams of The Harp-oil Government's owners, ad-nauseam.
Little Oil: *&^K*!!! we've had another &^%king pipeline rupture again.... It's bad, really ^%$#king bad. What should we do?

Big Oil: No problemmo! I'll just call my boy in charge at the The Harp-Oil Government. He'll get the muzzels on his people and make sure nobody knows a thing about it. If they do, his team will harp on and on about how it was just a good old ethical oil spill, besides, he knows if we don't get we want we won't be bankrolling his next election campaign and he won't be buying those shiny new regime change jets we ordered. Remember, they're working for us."

Little Oil: "I love how you always make everything right!"

Big Oil: "It's not who you know son, it's who you own."

A person you had a lot of feelings for and still do. The person you wanted to be worth it and you wonder why it never worked out and if you should have done more, tried harder . In the end you think your over them but no one compares really.
“Shit I looked back at the pictures of us from the party the other day and our conversations about that wanderlust song and realised that I fucked up. I wish I had tried more with him. He’s definatly the one that got away

That guy you you could have had it all with but something, whether it was distance or just bad timing, drove you apart and now your left wondering, "what if?"
Tonight's one of those nights I think of Charlie and listen to Boston by Augustana on repeat...alas he was the one that got away.

In Monty Python's the Meaning of Life, the machine that goes "ping" is a device that doctors use to determine that the baby they're delivering is alive.

It is also the most expensive machine in the whole hospital.
"Aah! I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favourite. You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account."
