Get the cow fightmug. Also known as a "527 group", a tax-exempt organization that is created to influence elections.
The name comes from a section of the United States tax code.
These organizations are not regulated by the Federal Election Commission. Therefore, people who would normally contribute millions of dollars to a candidate, could legally contribute to one of these groups instead.

Get the Sisterstatisticsmug. Outdated version of the BASIC programming language which came packaged with Windows version 3.1.
The language provided an easy way to create graphics, though limited to 4-bit colors and 640 by 480 resolution.
Although the "Q" stood for "quick" the only thing quick thing about QBASIC was the time to program. The language was interpreted, rather than compiled, severely retarding program execution speed.
The language is still adequate for novice programmers. However, learners who master the basics of QBASICS should graduate to Visual Basic, a much more flexible and faster language that inherited much of QBASIC's syntax.
