technological act of god

If a gamma ray burst or solar flare is not to blame for an information systems failure(s) that no geek on this earth, working or idle, can possibly explain.

The event shall not be considered a 'true' TAOG unless an electronic payment system failure results in thousands or perhaps millions of individuals being catapulted into economic catastrophe.
Debtor "My pay wasn't direct deposited because of the (blank) crash and they can't cut me a cheque because they only do direct deposit"

Creditor "By saving a year's worth of take home pay as an emergency fund you would'nt be in this situation now would you.

Save money and think positive and stuff like this wouldn't happen to you. It is what it is - a technological act of god"

pivotal act

The act wherein a pivot man obtains a monopoly of the circle jerk's resources only to prevent them from ejaculating.
The idea is getting more of our guys right in the middle of the action, to allow them to perform a pivotal act or otherwise prevent the spilling of Seed AI.

Good acting

Something a team from LA would do naturally, especially at a time they were more desperate than usual. They know Tampa Bay doesnt have the sizable film/TV/music/media/entertainment industry of LA, so they might think of a team from Tampa Bay as suckers for good acting.
Don't put it past a team from LA to use good acting at opportune times. Especially if they think they're smarter than a team that plays baseball out in the sticks.
