Tralfamadorian
ACtually a type of living creature in Kurt Voneguts book Slaughterhouse 5. The can move to any point in the space time continum and prefer to exist in nice places/times with happy stuff going on. The comparision of human experience in reality with Tralfamadorian experience of reality was a beautiful paragraph by Kurt: (I paraphrase) Imagine a person on the top of a moutain with a nice view (Tralfamadorian view of the universe), another person is strapped to a train track with a metal sphere around their head and an 8 foot pole to look through....that small round circle of light at the end is the human experience of the universe.

Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.'

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
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!
