thurstonitis

An epidemic with the first known case being Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
A first hand account of this disease.

Thurstonitis is basically when you just lose all control of your mind whatsoever and you walk around in a dazed state with a baseball cap on backward your bangs in your eyes and you go deaf.

Looking for used record stores that don't exist. And pretending that you know where they are. And then asking the locals and pretending you understand their language and you don't. And you nod a lot. It's usually a lot of... It's right over here. It's right over here.

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!
