Nicknamed "Sweet Lou", a popular major league baseball team manager. Formerly a player for several teams in the 60s-80s. Since then he has managed for five teams, currently the Chicago Cubs. He is famous for becoming very angry at umpires which usually results in him screaming in their face and then throwing his hat on the ground, which is very funny to watch.
From Wikipedia: "In a game on September 18, 2002 in a 3–2 (10) win against the Texas Rangers, Lou Piniella came out to argue a call in the bottom of the ninth in which the umpire called out Ben Davis after a close play at first and was immediately tossed by first base umpire C.B. Bucknor after throwing down his hat. Afterwards, he kicked his hat several times, aggressively approached Bucknor as he was screaming in his face, and kicked dirt on him as well. After being restrained by first base coach Johnny Moses, he then ripped first base from its mooring then threw it down the right field foul line twice after he imitated the umpire tossing him out."

Get the lou piniella mug.This isn't a very neutral or encyclopedic summation of the Pixies or their influence, but it's hard to write objectively about this band, perhaps one of the greatest alt. rock outfits ever to grace a stage, before the genre became just another mass-market joke.
Their music captivated not only what remains a fiercely loyal fan base, but a generation of musicians who sought to keep the flame alive when infighting drove the band to split in 1992. Perhaps the bar had been raised too high, because none of their successors, even those who achieved far more mainstream recognition, could quite match the quirky, catchy, enigmatic presence which still exists in those 15+ year-old recordings.
Thankfully, the Pixies are alive and well today after reuniting in 2004, though Frank Black was recently quoted as having disavowed any plans to ever record again with the group.

1. From the first time I heard "Monkey Gone to Heaven", the Pixies became my favorite band.
2. Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" might say that the Pixies' music is "gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh."

Pixelation happens when an image displayed on a monitor (TV, VGA, LCD, etc...) is stretched beyond its intended resolution, this causes the individual pixels themselves to be enlarged, making the image look blocky and generally bad.
I got this porn MPG on my computer, it was 320x240 so when I put it in full screen, it got so pixelated I couldn't see it well enough to get hard.

Get the Pixel Gun 3d mug.To nit-pick on a creative project that is not your own, usually focusing on minor details that eventually stack up and change the look and feel of the piece. Very unnerving to the creative in charge of the project, especially if the pixel fucker is standing right behind the creative during the production.
Account Exec: Hey...you finish editing that spot yesterday?
Editor: Hell no! I thought we were going to be done by lunch time, but the stupid client pixel fucked it until midnight. He'll be here in a hour for more.

Get the pixel fuck mug.Cell Phone Pixies are mischievious creatures who live in your phone. When you are not paying attention, they will magically call India, spam votes for someone on American Idol, and try to download a movie to your iPhone. When you get $45 usage fees on your next bill, all you have to do is call customer service and say you never ever used your phone to do that and they will believe you and reverse the charges.
Customer: "There's no way in hell I went over my daytime minutes! I never go over! It must have been the cell phone pixies."
Agent: "I fully trust you and will take your word for it. I'll reverse the fee right now! Just call us back any time those pixies fuck with your phone and we'll take care of it for you. Don't bother getting for a plan with more minutes so you're only paying $5 more per month rather than $200!"
