Elevision 

The act of people in an elevator staring up, uncomfortably, at the numbers as they light up when the car moves. Practiced out of nervousness.
When the elevator began moving, silence ensued as each person practiced their elevision.

Words you can keep

Elevision 

The small video monitors that are now often featured in the elevators of big, newer business buildings. They show headlines, weather, sports scores, trivia, etc. They are also impossible to take your eyes off of, no matter how many times you've already seen what they're showing.
Now people have an excuse not to look at each other in elevators. They just keep their eyes on the elevisions.

seven words you can't say on television

Parent Television Council 

A bunch of goody two shoe arseholes who believe it's a better choice to watch after other children when instead, they should be watching their own.

They're globally known as "attention whores" and "giant cry babies"

They also believe in the fact that the world will be balanced, if there were only G - Rated shows on TV. If that was the case, teenagers would ultimately die from boredness.

The point is, PTC is nothing but a bunch of selfish adults, who believe that Television will kill the minds of ANYONE. If they read this, they would waste their valuable time tracking my ass down, and direct me to the Police because I was "cyber bullying".

This is nothing but the truth.

Educational Television

The most annoying and the most boring thing to happen to television. Parents advise their children to watch it, but they eventually can't take the trauma anymore. Appropriate for children 5 and under, but children over 5 usually watch more non-educational, but still lame and boring TV. Do you want to learn where Dora The Explorer goes next? Well lets not find out, and watch something worth while, mmkay?
My little brother is watching his favorite educational television show in the living room, he has that thing too loud and it's interfering with my video game!

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.
