Tom Waits

An artist that writes great songs that are covered by artists like the Eagles and Rod Stewart, yet still remains in the background of mainstream music.

see Tommy the Cat

My favorite Tom Waits album is Bone Machine.

hurry up and wait

The concept of making every effort to arrive at a location ahead of the appointed time, with the expectation of having to wait upon arrival. The purpose behind the concept is that it builds a large amount of time into one's schedule, therefore accounting for unexpected occurrences.

When we went to the airport for our vacation, we followed the "hurry up and wait" philosophy, arriving several hours prior to our flight.

Waiting Mode

When you have something to do in a couple of hours and so your brain can't focus on anything else until that event happens.

I have work at 3pm today and so my brain is going to be on waiting mode until work starts.

waiting game

When two people are interested in one another, but unsure how to proceed with establishing a relationship.

"Hey, have you hooked up with Alex yet?"
"No, it's still a waiting game."

wait, what?

What you say when one (or more) of your friends is talking to you, and you are daydreaming about something completely unrelated. Usually said after saying something else, completely random.

Jim: blahblahblahblahblahblahbasketbalblahblahblahblah.....
Bob:sobytheewaywhatdoyouthinkofthisandyouandmeandher..

You: I like Tacos. Wait, what?

walitsch

The name given to those who are blessed enough to be considered “God-like”. A truly wonderful and awe-inspiring name that only the greatest of humans could ever hope to carry as a title. Normally found as a last name to the world's finest people.

Mike Walitsch is one example of a superior human being.
