Texas Secession 

An idea that only a dipshit would support. Right now, Texas is still an economic powerhouse, unlike most of the other states. Some people fear Obama's increased taxes, as if it would ruin our economy, so they bring up the idea of seceding. This is pretty stupid. Texas would have to make their own versions of necessary federal programs, all of the fortune 500 companies in Texas would move to another state, and the US would embargo everything from Texas. I could go on and on about this, but in short: Texas secession would be a blow to the balls for Texas, and a blow to the balls for America as well. Isn't it funny how people think Texas could secede because Texas willfully chose to be a U.S. state in 1845, but nobody considers secession for any other state?
I live in Texas, a very diverse state with over 25 million residents. 90% of us understand that Texas secession is a terrible idea. Please, ignore the minority of dipshits. Sam Houston frowns upon them.

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!
