clownsourcing 

the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of clowns, through an open call.

clownsourcing depends essentially on the fact that because it is an open call to an undefined group of people, it gathers those who are least fit to perform tasks, unable solve complex problems and contribute with the most idiotic ideas.
I used clownsourcing to save on software development. I got back some code that could only have been developed by folks wearing floppy shoes and big red noses. The code even had a "do you want fries with that?" subroutine. Never underestimate the wisdom of the clown.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
