J. D. Salinger

Probably the greatest writer in American history. 89 year old Salinger had many stories published in The New Yorker but has had only four books published; The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. His last work published was Hapworth 16, 1924 in The New Yorker in 1965. His last interview was in 1980 and since then he has become sort of a recluse and lives a quite life in New Hampshire. Salinger almost always writes about young, very intelligent and cynical people and his work appeals greatly to a younger audience because of his theme of loss of innocence and adolescent alienation.
I think for the past 40 years J. D. Salinger has been working on a huge masterpiece that will be published when he dies and blow us all away.

Springer

A German, Anglo-Saxon and Jewish surname, meaning "knight" in German or "lively person" in Anglo-Saxon. (Szprynger in Polish and Špringer in Slavic languages).

Amazingly to some people, there are other Springers in the world than Jerry (Unfortunatly there aren't that many interesting ones, so I added a few of my own):

Aaron Springer - Animator and occasional director of animated programming.

Chairman Springer - First leader of the Peoples Republic of Springer.

Julius Springer - German Founder of what became Springer Publishing.

Mark Springer - British composer and actor.

Mike Springer - American professional golfer.

Primordial Springer - Ancestor found amongst the primordial soup, having developed into a human before the rest of the soup reached land.

Robert Springer - Astronaut who went to Mars. Okay fine just normal space.

Springy Springer - The ideal Springer, not yet discovered.

T.A. Springer - Dutch mathematician responsible for something really interesting called Springer correspondence.

Yakov Springer - Polish-Israeli weightlifter killed at Munich '72 :(


As you can see, Springer does not mean some slag who wants to be on TV because she shagged eight men in a week. It's also a dog, killer whale and some places in America.
Person - "Wow, I never knew that there were actually people in the world called Springer who aren't Jerry!"

Me - "I know, our superior intelligence and ancestry will surely mean we soon take over the world from our fellow humans."

Person - "What?"

Me - "Nothing."

Jerry Springer therapy

The act of watching the Jerry Springer (or other funny, yet tragic) show to feel better about yourself.
Buddy: Why do you look so happy, you have a sausage gut and you just found out your girlfriend was cheating on you with all your friends.

Guy: At least I was smart enough to use a jimmy-hat and dumped her ass before she got preggo with a bastard child. And, things could be worse. I could be stuck in a love triangle with a gay midget and a tranny Hulk Hogan lookalike.

Buddy: Somebody's been getting his Jerry Springer therapy...

Guy: Works wonders...
