The Crapitol

Ocala Florida's largest music venue located on the downtown square. Many bands from hardcore to emo genre's showcase there. Most of the time the prices are unreasonable. Many stupid slutty scene bitches go there and smoke cigarettes outside after they leave inside because they charge a re-entry fee of $2.00.

They also offer a once weekly bible study in the evening.

Joe: "Hey man, are you going to The Capitol tonight?"
Kevin: "I'm broke, I don't think I can."
Joe: "Yeah, the prices are kinda high, especially with that re-entry fee."
Kevin: "The Crapitol is lookin' to reem kids of their money in Ocala!"

Joe: "Are you going to The Capitol tonight? AYFAD is playing!"
Steve: "Really? Heck yeah I'm going!"
Joe: "Yeah that'll be sweet! There's always someone there with a Digital SLR taking pictures."
Steve: "Yeah maybe I can get in some pictures, I see that red head kid there with his Nikon D200, Speedlite, and a Tokina fisheye lens."

grab capitalism by the balls

N.B: this expression is supposed to be used mainly by WASPs when talking to other WASPs, but this is not mandatory; non-WASPs can, but again this is not mandatory, use other perfectly correct English translations of the same Latin phrase, such a 'grab life by the horns', among others.

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial line' grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but i doubt it they would have used the exact same words.
