The Shaw is an ancient creature with special magical powers. In its native habitat, The Shaw uses low wails and moans to communicate, so it never really adapted to the English language. To understand The Shaw, you must get within 6 inches of it's mouth. This is a double-edged sword though, for The Shaw has breath like Bob Saget's asshole. The Shaw is well known for overusing the phrases "not to be mean, but..." and "but seriously though...". In the magical world where The Shaw prances around, toothbrushes are considered evil and to be avoided at all costs.
"Dude, your grill is like buttery tombstones. You must be friends with The Shaw."

"What the hell is that stench? Oh, The Shaw just yawned."

The Shawcross

The Shawcross is the entity that eats your food out of the fridge or biscuit cupboard. Some believe he exists only in legend, however equally others say that they knew they had half a fruit cake in the cupboard which has now mysteriously disappeared.
In some cultures, The Shawcross is also blamed for the loss of one sock out of a pair - especially when you know you DEFINITELY put two in the washing machine.
John "WTF ! I had half a Christmas cake in the bread tin which I've been looking forward to all day... Have YOU eaten it Tim you fucker??"
Tim "No - maybe we've been visited by legendary food thief... The Shawcross!!!"
John "Grrrrrrr!!"

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.
