The bickering, complaining, and general chaos that occurs between the members, or staff, of many churches. Often behind the scenes and without the knowledge of others who refuse to be drug into the fray.
Bill: Judy and Bob are upset over the new Sunday School schedule and have decided to quit going to church altogether.
Mandy: Don't bother me with that church drama, they'll be mad about something else next week.

Get the Church Drama mug.The DHARMA Initiative (Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications) is the fictional research organisation featured in the American show "LOST".
Founded in the early 1970's as an attempt to "save the world as we know it", the Initiative was founded by Gerald and Karen DeGroot, two doctoral graduates from the University of Michigan, and funded by Alvar Hanso. Their goal was to solve the fundamental principals of the "Valenzetti Equation", an equation that could apparently predict the end of the world, through various apocalyptic events (nuclear warfare, overpopulation, etc). The core values of this equation are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, and the DI (Dharma Initiative) scientists were working on changing these values so that, apparently, "the one true way" could be found.
The Dharma Initiative worked on a mysterious island located somewhere in the Pacific, though it is now known to be able to move through time/space. The DI found the island by means of their "Lamp-Post" station located in Los Angeles.
Notable heads of the Initiative include Horace Goodspeed, a hippy-like character, and Pierre Chang who features in the several orientation films. Dr Chang assumes several aliases, such as Mark Wickmund and Marvin Candle, when filming these instructional videos, but it is unclear why.
Using several bunkers and research compounds, the DI performed many experiments in electromagnetism, zoology, medicine, etc (even Time itself, deep beneath the island in the Orchid Station). It is unknown at the moment if any of the mysterious phenomena seen on the island (whispers, smoke monster, hallucinations, etc) are a product of the DI's experiments, or have always been a part of the island, though it is known that the polar bears were being experimented on in the Hydra Station.
The Initiative maintained contact with the real world via the Flame Station, and could leave at will by submarine.
The DI had an uneasy truce with the indigenous people of the island, "The Hostiles" as they were known, though occasional skirmishes broke out. However, the DI were eventually wiped out by the "Hostiles" following the "purge", and they subsequently took over operation of most of the stations and living quarters.
The Dharma Initiative are still pretty much a mystery, but Season 5 of Lost has filled in much of their back story.

Get the dramadaddy mug.Dramacydal was the first name of the group now known as 'Outlawz' formed by 2pac 'the greatest of all time'. When they started most of the members were very young, some still teenagers.
The group consists of Kastro, Fatal, Napoleon, Kadafi(RIP), Komani, EDI Mean, Mussolini. Storm(female) and Young Noble joined just a few months before 2pac's death when the group was then known as 'Outlawz' or 'Outlaw Immortalz'. Most of the members are from Montclair, New Jersey but repped the west side with 2pac.
They appeared on the album 'Me Against The World' under the name Dramacydal. The album hit number 1 while 2pac was in prison and i believe its the only album to top the charts while incarcerated.
As 'Outlawz' the group are known for the songs 'Hit Em Up', 'Made Niggaz','Lost Souls'. They also have an album with 2pac called 'Still I Rise' released in 1999, which Fatal was cut out of due to issues with the label.
The original names were
Young Hollywood - Kadafi
Mu - Napoleon
Big Malcolm - EDI Mean
K-Dog - Kastro
Mopreme - Komani
Big Syke - Mussolini
One of their best tracks would be 'When We Ride' as all 7 members feature in the track. 'Outlawz' is a backronym for Operating Under Thug Laws As Warriorz.
