Me: No man, the flight leaves at 11:00PM we need to go to the airport now!
Friend: Look, here are the tickets and it says 12:00AM, we still have an hour left

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
