Get the consneed mug.The wunderkind founder of the band, Beirut. Zach Condon is both brilliant extremely hot. Condon started producing his own music at age 15 in the Albequerque bedroom of his parents house. Since then, he dropped out of school at 16 and traveled Europe with his older brother, which was where he was introduced to music of The Konaci Orkestar and also Balkan Folk music. His first (unofficial) album The Joys of Losing Weight (which he produced under the name "Realpeople") was never released and is only available through downloads online.
Since then, the 24 year old has went on to create two full length albums, including, Gulag Orkestar and The Flying Club Cup. He has also finished three EP's: Elephant Gun,Lon Gisland, and Pompeii and in addition one double EP, March of The Zapotec & Realpeople: Holland. Condon recorded part one of the EP, March of The Zapotec, with a Mexican funeral band in Oaxaca, Mexico. He later recorded the second part in his bedroom under the moniker, "Realpeople".
Condon believes it is very important to keep the two projects, Beirut and Realpeople, seperate from each other as they have two very different sounds. Realpeople has more of a techno feel as opposed to Beirut's full brass band sound.
Condon plays countless instruments, guitar not included. When he was fourteen he broke his wrist falling of a bridge into a dry riverbed and later had surgery on it when he was seventeen. Because of this, one of his wrists is 1 & 1/2 inches shorter and, also a considerable amount less flexible than the other which makes it nearly impossible for Condon to reach his wrist around the neck of a guitar. However, Condon doesn't see this as a set back. Instead he substitutes guitar with ukelele and other instruments.
Zach Condon's Marital Status:
Sorry ladies and gents but Condon is definitely taken by Kristianna Smith. Whether he is married to her, remains uncertain but in several interviews he is wearing a gold wedding band on his left ring finger.

Person1: Well, I don't know. I'm more of a Gulag Orkestar person, myself. I download The Joys of Losing Weight via Bittorrent and I'm absolutely IN LOVE with Realpeople!
Person2: Yeah! Realpeople: Holland was incredible! It's hard to believe he recorded it all in his own bedroom!

The french fries in the bottom of the fast food bag. Just when the disappointment sets in that you've finished your fries, you are pleasantly surprised to find a few more Consolation Fries at the bottom of the bag.
I was sad when I finished my fries before I got home, but at least there are Consolation Fries left.

Get the Consolation Fries mug.The SNES, maybe the most beloved console of all time. Despite it's rival produced by Sega (Which was also a legendary console), the SNES was boosted above legendary status by classic games such as FF3, Chrono Trigger, the Donkey Kong Trilogy, F-Zero, the Mario titles it carried, and of course, The Legend of Zelda-Link's Awakening.
While it was a hot item in it's time, it has now been spread around the internet for free in the form of emulators, and the games have been converted into roms. This adds to the legacy the SNES left behind of being the most playable and memory-laden projects undertaken by a gaming company.

Despite all the other legendary consoles (And those that are to come in the future), the SNES will always have it's own place in the world of gaming.

Get the The Last Great Console mug.Describes a videogame ported to PC from a console system, or co-developed for both console and PC, that is percieved to suffer from the alleged shortcomings of console gaming.
Symptoms of console-itis include save points, low texture/graphical detail, poor or no mouse support, lack of gameplay depth, and limited configuration options.
Presumably, with consoles becoming more and more like PCs, console-itis will become less and less of an issue in the days and years to come in the future of the age of tomorrow.

There are too many examples to list. Just think of almost any console game ported to PC that you've played, and there's your example.

Get the console-itis mug.The act of giving the consent while pretending not to consent (in BDSM). This term was coined by Biaman Basu in The Commerce of Peoples: Sadomasochism and African American Literature. This action involves two participants and their willing to test the waters. For example, one partner pretends not to like being tied up while the other pretends to force it. Another example, in literature, is reading a text that is fragmented and irritating, but still stimulating. Both parties agree ahead of time as to what lines cannot be crossed, but can still be taunted, and as always, a safe word is used to ensure protection.
Before the play scene:
Bob: I'm going to beg you to stop whipping me, but please don't.
Sally: Ok, I've got your consensual nonconsensuality.
During the play scene:
Bob: Oh Sally! Please stop! You are hurting me!
