Tom Griswold

co-host of the bob and tom radio show, a paranoid germaphobe but very funny
Tom Griswold won't go to a gas station if there is a fuel tanker there and when he is in a hotel he puts the TV remote in a ziplock bag to protect himself from germs, but he is a very funny guy.

Clark Griswold 

Taken from the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie.

(Noun) - Someone who gets possessed by the Christmas Spirit and enjoys it a little too much

(Verb) - its the act of getting way too into Christmas, including decorating your house in an obscenely obnoxious way or traveling out to the middle of no-where to cut down an oversized Christmas tree.

Griswold mistake 

A major oversight or obvious err in judgement or planning. As in the movie National Lampoon's Vacation, the Griswold family drives cross-country to Wally World theme park to find that it was closed. Or, failing to see an obvious easier route, short-cut, shorter line or less crowded approach to anything while preoccupied following the masses. "Stupid tourist, sheep, rookie mistake".
After spending nearly an hour looking for parking, Ves realized his Griswold mistake of shopping at the mall on the weekend.

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!
