Tangentialist

Someone who agrees to do something specific but becomes distracted and goes off in all directions, like Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz

He agreed to take out the trash but then he, being a tangentialist, went through the trash instead, focusing intently on each item, having decided that YOU don't know what constitutes trash, and that he needs to decide.

He micromanages by being a tangentialist, spiraling Brainiac style into the project - trouble is, he misses the target. By a country mile.

Tangerine Terror

As a tasty alternative to the famous "Brass Monkey", the Tangerine Terror is
achieved by drinking a 40oz beer (preferably a Hurricane) down to the top of it's
label, then filling it back up to the top with orange soda.

This differs slightly from a Brass Monkey, which uses orange juice instead of soda.

Also known as "Tangerone Tone"

Person 1: "What you mixin' up in that 40oz?"

Person 2: "You didnt hear!? its the Tangerine Terror!!!"

Person 3: "Tangerone Tone!"
