man: Hey, how was work at Walgreens?
woman: It was gay. Some guy came and tried to pay for facewash with pennies. So I announced a code 50 on the loudspeaker.
man:he deserved it. What an ass fuck.

Get the arco codemug. The radio code you hear at Disneyland or Walt Disney World when an attraction temporarily goes down. Derived from the freeway that runs by Disneyland in California (Once part of US 101, now Interstate 5), it was a sort of joke that if an attraction were to break down, it would be time for guests to "hit the 101 freeway." A series of radio codes was built from this:
101: Attraction Down - Routine
101G: Attraction Down due to guest activities
102: Attraction Down - Urgent
103: Attraction Down - Emergency
104: Attraction Up
105: Attraction Operating - Limited Capacity
106: Attraction Operating - Full Capacity
101: Attraction Down - Routine
101G: Attraction Down due to guest activities
102: Attraction Down - Urgent
103: Attraction Down - Emergency
104: Attraction Up
105: Attraction Operating - Limited Capacity
106: Attraction Operating - Full Capacity
"While in line for Space Mountain, the ride broke down, which causes a Code 101 to be issued."
"Some guests decided to stand up on Splash Mountain, causing it to go Code 101G."
"I just heard that the Matterhorn is now Code 104, let's get in line."

Get the Code 101mug. In the years after 1660 the number of offences carrying the death penalty increased enormously, from about 50, to 160 by 1750 and to 288 by 1815. You could be hanged for stealing goods worth 5 shillings (25p), stealing from a shipwreck, pilfering from a Naval Dockyard, damaging Westminster Bridge, impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner or cutting down a young tree. This series of laws was called (later) "The Bloody Code."
Why was the Bloody Code passed? After the turmoil of the 17th century, the landowning class emerged as supreme rulers of Britain. They based their power on property-ownership, and saw the law's main purpose as protecting property. They were ruling a country of 6.5 million, most of whom had no political rights whatsoever. The crime rate was not high, actually, (see Gallery Crime 1450-1700), but they feared that it was, as towns grew in size and the old village community crumbled. There was also no police force (see Gallery Crime Prevention 1450-1700). The Bloody Code was therefore a threat: severe retribution would happen to those thinking of breaking the law by infringing property rights.
A great deal was made of hangings. They were held in public and thousands turned out to watch, especially in London, at Tyburn (see Tyburn Jig). The intention was clearly to act as a deterrent to others to observe the laws -or else.
Yet, in fact, fewer people were hanged under the Bloody Code than before it. Numbers of people hanged per year in London and Devon:
Early 17th century Early 18th century
London 150 20
Devon 25 3
Offenders escaped the noose at many points: sometimes the charge was reduced to below capital levels (this could go to ridiculous lengths, as in the charge "Stole £5 value 10 pence"). Juries were reluctant to find people guilty. Judges let offenders off and offenders sometimes agreed to join the army or navy instead. As a last resort, petitions for mercy were often answered. The system therefore held the death threat in readiness, but could show mercy: either way, power of life or death lay with the powerful.

Get the booner-codemug. 1. When someone fails after trying to do something last minute.
2. An error that is more frustrating than a BSOD( even when you loose all of your work because of the BSOD ).
The word comes from the error that the war-europe site gave you after you tried to log in. The error took so long to fix and got so many people pissed off that the official "Account servers are live" topic got more than 150 pages within a day. "We told you so" was what most of them said or suggested, GOA tried to get the accounts page up ON the day of beta, instead of weeks ( or days ) before. It was a big phail, obviously.
