Homing Beacon 

The internal compass that guides the lost warrior home when he/she is too drunk to see straight. More often than not, the individual will have no recollection of how they got home.

Often the homing beacon will activate itself suddenly and without warning, however, it is usually preceded with several minutes worth of vacant staring and the sudden exit of the individual may be accompanied by some grunt or the phrase, 'i have to go'.

- The homing beacon, in an advanced person may also make you stop for food.

A: 'So what, I just stared at the floor, got up, said bye and left? Dude I don't remember sh*t from last night...'

B: 'Yeah man, I'm surprised you made it back OK, that's some homing beacon you got there.'

Northwest Homing Beacon 

The more common name for Northwest Missouri State University's International Plaza, where at least twenty flags from various countries are flown.

Name derives from the fact that at night, the lights from the Plaza can be seen from twenty miles away, calling the students back to campus.

We were worried that when we took that wrong turn off Highway 71 we'd encounter some zombies but in the distance, we could see the Northwest Homing Beacon, and cut across a frozen field to get back to campus.
