The sure-fire way to end an argument with someone. Whether winning or losing, the simple mention of "shawshank" will wrap things up. He may try to respond with "I don't even care about that anymore" but worry not: people know the power of shawshank.

A school desk a teacher pieces together using a chair and a small table for the comfort of fat students. This references Andy Dufrene's use of scrap resources to accomplish goals in "The Shawshank Redemption".
Larry's belly was so big the edge of his old desk cut into it. So the teacher moved him to the shawshank desk, and now his belly has lots of room and he can focus on his schoolwork.
