cowboy camping 

Sleeping outside in the backcountry without an overhead shelter (such as a tent or tarp), usually done in the context of backpacking. The decision to cowboy camp is a calculated one - bugs, rain, snow, etc. are all possible backfires to the decision and can damper the experience.

Note that having an adequate shelter is a must, cowboy camping is the decision to forgo setting up a dedicated shelter and betting that conditions will be such that the shelter is not needed (but the dedicated shelter is still present/available should it be needed). Not bringing adequate shelter with you into the backcountry is foolish and can result in injury or death.
Last night we went cowboy camping at Panther Gap and the stars were ridiculous.

Capling (Drinking Game) 

Similar to the spirit of Curling, Capling is played with a beer bottle as a target and beer caps as the objects in play. Each player in a round of Capling is given the opportunity to toss 1 beer cap at the beer bottle with the closest cap to the bottle being the winner. The winner of the round is then allowed to dish out 10 drinks to any of the players, in any variation they choose (eg. losing player #1 must drink all 10). Once a player wins a round of Capling, they are then allowed to relocate the site of the beer bottle and another round begins with the past rounds winner shooting first.

Capling was invented by Jeff Dawidowitz and Mike Wickett in the beautiful city of St. Catharines, Ontario. While Jeff Dawidowitz was the inaugural Capling champion, Mike Wickett has succeeded him in every championship since. Capling has reached the height of its popularity at Silly Sundays - a popular spot to catch a full days schedule of NFL Football.
Game of Capling (Drinking Game) example: Cap #1 lands closer to the bottle than Cap #2 at the end of the round. Therefore person who threw Cap #2 must drink 10.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
