Ritchie Blackmore

The arsiest man in rock!

The "Bastard in Black"!

Ritchie Blackmore is the amazing former Deep Purple guitarist best known for his awesome riffs like "Smoke On The Water", "Black Night" and "Burn". He's famous for being a bit temperamental (or sometimes just plain mental with a hot temper)...

Blackmore quit Deep Purple in the mid 70's to start a new heavy rock band called "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" with future Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio. The name was later shortened to "Blackmore's Rainbow" and then just plain "Rainbow".

The original Rainbow bass player, keyboard player and drummer were soon replaced by Jimmy Bain (formerly of Street Noise and Harlot), Tony Carey (formerly of Blessings) and Cozy Powell (of everyone else). This is probably the most popular Rainbow lineup.

Ritchie Blackmore now plays guitar (NOT lute!) with Blackmore's Night.

a day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

A day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a dangerous sex act. The participants visit a beach when the tide is coming in. One participant is buried in the sand near the sea so that only their head is visible. The other participant proceeds to masturbate whilst looking at their face. In order to assist the masturbator, the buried participant usually makes sexy faces at them. These faces become increasingly desperate as the tide begins to sweep around their head. The aim of the game is to ensure that the masturbator comes before the tide engulfs the buried participant. Once the masturbator has come, he/she will help to dig out and free the buried participant. The game is played by those who are aroused by risk and desperation.

Kate: Would anyone like to do a day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
