maria bamford
a breath of fresh air to the dane-cook polluted air of modern american comedy. she is quirky, dark, extremely witty, observational and obnoxiously adorable with her blonde hair and child-like voice. she does not necessarily stick to the classic joke-to-punchline formula but instead relies on storytelling using her unique voices. a shape-shifter of sorts, the bammer is able to drastically change her normal high voice into more masculine, mature, raspy, etc. etc...voices; her most honed and popular impressions would be that of her parents and sister. she suffers from ocd, depression, anxiety which she works into her act. she lives with her eleven year old pug and "wife-partner" blossom. she has a hilarious one-woman sitcom on superdelux.com in which she plays every part and she was also apart of patton oswalt's "comedians of comedy" tour. the bammer is basically a goddess of indie comedy.

nightingale bamford
The Nightingale Bamford School is one of the best schools in the United States. It is located on the upper east side of New York City. All though the show Gossip Girls is based on this school, the actual school is nothing like the show. Nightingale is a great all girls school full of rich and beautiful but not snobby girls. 9 out of 10 guys say Nightingale girls are the best in bed and the best to marry. The girls there are very smart and have great humor due to the great teachers there.

pod person
A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
