Hell on Earth, home to most of the survival camps.
Let's start from the top. The water isn't clean, so don't drink it. The eggs are made of some sort of dust, so don't consume those either. The staff cadets take all your stuff at the beginning of your term, and if you smuggle your phone in somehow, there's no cellular service or wifi. Lastly, washing is much less frequent, so be ready to suffer. Also, there are tales of horror on the parade square.
SWO: Cadet, you'll be going to Blackdown for basic survival.
Cadet: Oh come on! I filed for a transfer! Please, don't make me go to BLACKDOWN!
SWO: Sorry, but this is final. Get on the bus.
Developer of Ultimate Droid! Great programmer, businessman, and technician. Can help anyone with any computer related questions that they have. He gets much respect from the online community, although his hasnt come out with any new programs lately.
Have you heard of Blackdroid? He helped fix my computer and taught me how to program.
Even though it's a CTC, you sleep in tents, and they got flooded by rain at least once this summer alone.
The water is NOT clean, consider yourself lucky if you get cholera because that's the least of what's in the water.
Food is nasty, chicken is undercooked, meat always ends up in the "vegetarian" options. If you eat it, you'll probably get paralytic rabies or pneumonic plague.
Unfortunately the only CTC that runs pipe band courses now.
TL;DR Shit accommodations, shit food, non-potable water
TrgO: You're going to Blackdown for Pipe Band Musician.
Cadet: Can't I go to Rocky? They have a huge P&D legacy.
TrgO: Nope, it's only at Blackdown now.
Cadet: God I hope I don't die of dysentery.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
