Get the WarHammer mug.Kind of like a tabletop RPG, while a good game, it is very expensive, i stopped playing years ago but still enjoy the painting there are 3 main types-Warhammer which is fantasy(lord of the rings/willow etc, Warhammer 40000 which is sci fi(reminds me of Starship troopers) and Lord of the Rings(need i say more), all have sub games(Warhammer has Mordheim(Instead of playing with an army you play with a small warband which grows the more you play)) all have different races but all have orcs good/neutral humans and evil humans.Contrary to popular belief, warhammer is not nerdy(or at least in my school it isnt)

Get the warhammer mug.Related Words
A very interesting and compelling tabletop game of fantasy battles - And although it's made fun of by many people, and those playing it are put into a stereotype, this is hugely innacurate - Yes, warhammer is expensive for what it is - imaginary battles with plastic models - but so what? It's fun, it's a hobby - and that has to be worth spending money on. Opposers have their hobbies too - just how much did THEY spend on doing something they enjoy? If it's fun, it's probably worth spending your hard earner cash on just because of the fact it brings you happiness.

Get the Warhammer mug.Something engineers, mainly Machinist Mates, do in the U.S. Navy to each other in the boiler/engineering room. A container of water is dumped from an upper level area to someone on the lower level, or from any high area to any lower area. It is always meant to be a surprise. It is also done to people who are sleeping on watch as a way to wake them up, and they do so in shock, to teach them to not sleep on watch or else it will happen again. It is also done to people who are already awake as a practical joke. Something like that would usually never be done to any higher-ups, especially those that don't participate in the game, since it will get you in trouble.
Example 1:
Petty Officer Clark: You see Price sleeping in the escape exit? Let's water hammer him!
Example 2:
Petty Officer Price: I just got water hammered. Do you know who did it?
Fireman Stovell: Yes, it was Clark.
Petty Officer Price: I'm gonna water hammer him next chance I get! It's on now!
Petty Officer Clark: You see Price sleeping in the escape exit? Let's water hammer him!

Get the water hammer mug.When an industrial facility that consumes a copious volume of water suddenly stops drawing water from a water treatment plant via a pneumatic switch or quick-close valve. The instantaneous closing of the valve causes a backup of water pressure that breaks water treatment plant pumps and pipes.
The water treatment plant's pumps were destroyed when a chicken plant slammed their valve closed after a washdown of the facility causing a water hammer
