Robespierre coming down the mountain 

When you realize someone you had respected has lost their mind you would refer to them as "Robespierre coming down the mountain" in reference to Robespierre's Cult of the Supreme Being festival in which he appeared at the top of a 'paper mache' mountain constructed in the center of Paris in a toga and decended to give a speech. Many saw this as proof that he thought he was more than human and had lost touch with reality.
"Oh, here's Robespierre coming down the mountain!"

to pull a Robespierre 

Robespierre was an important figure during the French Revolution and when the consul decided to put him to the guillotine he tried to commit suicide.

Instead of shooting himself through the jaw he shot off his jaw and was unsuccessful in killing himself, but he was still put to the guillotine.

To pull a Robespierre is the act of successfully trying to kill oneself esp. attempted shootings through the skull (by holding a gun under ones jaw), but turning out unsuccessful and shooting off ones jaw
how to pull a Robespierre:
Get a gun
put it to your jaw like a gangsta (making sure the gun will only shoot off your jaw)
Shoot
* Now you have successfully pulled a Robespierre

Situation: Jim is in the hospital for attempted suicide
Bill to Mike: "Dude, what happened"
Mike to Bill: "Nothing, but Jim pulled a Robespierre. I heard he did it for the lulz"

Maxamilien Robespierre 

Father of the French Revolution, daddy of the revolutionaries. Only wanted to make the gorgeous Republic of Virtue; it's the filthy counterrevolutionaries that ruined everything. Cut off heads & stole hearts. Died when his fake friends turned on him all because he revealed them to be the filthy counterrevolutionaries that they were. A hero, an icon and someone to look up to. RIP Robespierre, you are missed. We will carry on the Republic of Virtue in your honor. Down with the filthy counterrevolutionaries and long live the Republic!
Maxamilien Robespierre was a god among men and all those that had the honor of being beheaded under his orders should be grateful.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
