Potsdam Pottery 

An up and cuming sex move, which takes place between a large male and small female. The move was originally founded by Jolo and Mara in Potsdam, Germany. The female is positioned like a manual pencil sharpener atop a firm pencil. She is then spun around like a slab of clay on a potter's wheel. The ritual is complete when the clay is perfectly decorated and glazed.
Jolo: How would you like to try the Potsdam Pottery?
Mara: What's that?
Jolo: We are about to make history.
Mara: Umm okay.
Jolo: I'm going to make your world spin, literally...

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
