building cable

Free, limited cable TV that one can access by connecting directly, without a box, to the cable outlet in an urban apartment building, typically New York City. Such access usually includes the major broadcast channels, public access, the "UN Channel" and the Food Network.

Hipsterette: "You going to watch The Sopranos tonight?"
Hipster: "No, I'm gonna watch some NOVA and a shitty movie on TBS. I only get building cable."

Empire Smurf Building

A nice big cock, noted for its tall highrise leading up to it's mushroom head.

Though Mark's personality and looks seemed to be lacking, widespread word of the Empire Smurf Building made his pants the center of a tourist economy.

Building a Mystery

Building A Mystery is one of the best songs ever. It was written/performed by Sarah McLachlan an extremely talented Canadian singer and songwriter. Building A Mystery is one of Sarah's greatest hits. The song is not a teeny bopper whiny punk song but a mystical darkly pop song.

You come out at night|That's when the energy comes|And the dark side's light|And the vampires roam.... (Lyrics from Building A Mystery

Nation Building

1.) An ongoing experiment that the United States has thus far failed at spectacularly. The process of forcing your own brand of "democracy" down the throats of the "liberated" whether they like it or not (see: Iraq).

2.) A 200 billion USD blunder (again, see: Iraq)

3.) The instigaton of nationwide anarchy (except of couse in Kabul) and the method by which a puppet government is put into "power" and left to deal with the mess brought on by its "liberators" for decades to come (see: Afghanistan).

4.) Something used by politicians to garner more votes from the fringe right (see: George W. Bush, GOP, NRA, Halliburton).

You're not God, Dubya. Stop pretending.

Building

Something that tells you not to be racist.

Stan: Don't be racist, I am a building
And I’ve got news for you
Hey there Steven
Blacks and whites are even
How would you feel if the joke was on you
Blacks, whites, Indians and Spanish
They all came from the sea
We all have to share the same world
Trixie won't you sing with me
Trixie: Hey Stan
Stan: Hey there Trixie
Trixie: What you singing about?
Stan: Oh not much, just skyscraper stuff, like racism
Trixie and Stan: Don't be racist, we both are buildings
Listen to what we mean
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Or we will haunt your dreams
Or we will haunt your dreams
Or we will haunt your dreams

*wink*
