Kick-ass claymation cartoon from long ago! It's about this strange clay boy and his clay horse who goes around doing stupid things. They sometimes save people, they sometimes save each other, or they just BS around doing nothing.
It's no longer showing, I believe, but when it did, it was one of the funniest shows around! Especially when you watch it as an adult.

Get the Gumby mug.The downloading or copying one a copyrighted item. Piracy is achieved through the use of P2P programs, such as Kazaa, Direct Connect, WinMX, BitTorrent, or etc. However, there are a few websites that legitimately offers pirated items.
Through piracy, everything short of nourishment and clothing can be achieved. You can pirate books, music, video games, movies, or software. However, there are a series of argument pertaining to piracy. Such arguments are:
1) Industries - Those bastards are stealing money from us. If we could stop piracy, prices would go down enormously and there would be more jobs due to more demand!
2) Pirates - If we couldn't pirate, we wouldn't buy your overpriced crap anyway! Who the hell is gonna pay $600+ for Photoshop or $200+ for new Windows OS? And "there will be more jobs", my ass! You'll most likely outsource jobs to India for more profit!
3) Litigious Jerk Offs - We'll have those pirating bastards on their knees in no time, but first, we have to find out the age of those we sue! Those goddamn idiotic American people gets all giddy eye every time we sue a little boy for downloading 50 Cent. If we don't, he's going to grow up to be a serial killer!
Basically, the argument boils down to the industries wanting more profit, pirates wanting to spend less, and litigious jerk offs wanting to make more money by suing everyone. So far, the industries are still making enormous profit because the vast majority of people don't know how to pirate. The pirates are still pirating because piracy is virtually impossible to stop. And the jerk offs had been blasted for suing several wrong people, but they managed to scare a lot of people off of Kazaa.

Get the Piracy mug.Obviously females originating from Japan. Looking at the other definitions, though, there seem to be an ulterior meaning.
There are a number of American men who prefer Asian ladies (especially Japanese) because they believe American women (or possibly western women in general) are undesirable due to a lack of lady-like qualities.
Many (notably feminists) have the misconception that Japanese females are naturally submissive, which seems to be proven incorrect by the definition above me. Aside from that, though, it is true that most women in Japan are not submissive, but it is also true that they do not tend to view relationships as a struggle for power like many American women.

Guy A: What kind of women do you like?
Guy B: I like Asian girls. Vietnamese and Chinese girls are fantastic! But Guy C told me Japanese girls were great!

Get the Japanese Girls mug.The Kraken is, specifically speaking, supposed to be a sea monster with no distinctive traits. However, it has become fixed with the image of a big, bad-ass squid that fucks up everything whenever it appears.
You may recognize the Kraken from such things as:
1) Video games - Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, etc.
2) Literature - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, The Kraken, etc.
3) Movies - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Clash of the Titans, etc.
And much more. All you need to know is that the Kraken is badass and it will own asses whenever it appears.

1) I was playing Golden Sun on my GameBoy Advance and I was making good progress when the Kraken appeared and repeatedly kicked my ass.
2) I read Michael Crichton's Sphere, which features the Kraken. Needless to say, the Kraken opened a huge can of whoop ass on the characters.

Get the Kraken mug.An RPG company that has founded its modern roots during the era of the NES/Master System. Almost at the end of its line, it decided to create an RPG which was appropriately named "Final Fantasy". However, the game founded a surprisingly popularity among gamers and the company found itself surviving. It went on to create Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III for the NES.
It is the days of the SNES to which many gamers say is when SquareSoft was at the pinnacle of talent for RPGs. During this era, they created Final Fantasy IV (praised for its epic story), Final Fantasy V (which perfectly the job system originally conceived in Final Fantasy III), and Final Fantasy VI (praised for its epic scope of gameplay). Also during this time, Square also created what many considered to be one of the finest RPGs ever conceived, Chrono Trigger. Included in their SNES string of successes was Secret of Mana, Bahamut Lagoon, Treasure Hunter G, and so on. It is also notable that their first and only collaboration with Nintendo has resulted in Super Mario RPG, which was well received by fans of both companies.
With the arrival of the N64/Saturn/PSX, Square had a falling out with Nintendo and they decided to work on the PSX. While they have created what is their most popular and most well known game to date on the PSX (Final Fantasy VII), it is widely considered that they were not as good as they were on the SNES due to their string of failures. Many sequels (Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VIII-IX) were considered to be inferior to their predecessors. However, their successes were well received. Games such as Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, and Valkyrie Profile gave their reputation a tremendous boost despite their failures.
With the arrival of the next generation systems (PS2, GameCube, XBox). After the PS2 single-handed crushed Sega's DreamCast, Square soon followed later with Final Fantasy X. While FFX is a commercial success, it was plagued by criticism from time of release and is still considered to be inferior by many (especially fans of older Final Fantasies). This plus many other flops including The Bouncer, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within (a movie), and Unlimited Saga helped to humble Square.
Later on during this generation, a mega announcement was made of Square merging with its long time RPG competitor, Enix. The new company became known as Square Enix and it quickly became known as RPG company supreme.
Also during this generation, Square Enix decided to branch out somewhat. They created their first direct sequel entitled "Final Fantasy X-2", made their first MMORPG called "Final Fantasy XI, collaborated with Disney for Kingdom Hearts, and many are speculating that Final Fantasy XII will make a triumphant return to the Final Fantasy roots of the SNES days. However, that remains to be seen. Included on Enix's side of things is the first 3D Star Ocean and Dragon Warrior.
Future new projects include many derivatives of Final Fantasy VII (most well known of which is Advent Children).

Get the squaresoft mug.PETA stands for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" and, frankly, they are a bullshit organization that attempts to "liberate" animals.
Nobody in their right mind likes PETA. You see it all the time. Only liberals, bullshitting politicians, feminists, and general conformist morons like PETA. Everyone else hates them or don't give half a damn. South Park, Maddox, and even The Onion makes fun of them.
The aforementioned people has a good reason to make fun of PETA too. Here are a number of reasons why no one should like PETA:
1.PETA is the same organization that funds Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a terrorist group that has already committed several crimes, including murder. When questioned about the funding, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said that she considered Rodney Coronado, who was part of ELF and had been convicted in firebombing Michigan University, to be a fine young man.
2.PETA is the same organization that killed Keiko, the killer whale that starred in the movie "Free Willy". In an attempt to free Keiko, they turned their backs on the fact that he is not used to wild life. Soon, he was discovered at another harbor performing tricks. They tried to "liberate" him again, but the result was that he went somewhere else where there was humans (Norway last I heard). So rather than letting him live a long, luxurious life in showbiz, PETA managed to mess it up for him and let him died in captivity in Norway.
And these are just the examples that infuriates me the most. If someone is an animal lover and don't wish to see animals kill, but NO ONE can say that they like PETA without being labeled an asshole. PETA is a hypocritical organization that supports terrorists, fascist laws, and even the FBI has looked into them.
I am glad that the vast majority of people will never listen to their bullshit. For the people who do like PETA, though, they deserve no mercy. With all of the scandals surrounding PETA, the only way a person could think they are the good guys is if they're willfully ignorant.

Liberal Asshole: I am only eating vegetables so that I can limit the suffering of animals!
Man: You know, millions of animals are killed by combines. If you plant your own vegetables, you'll limit the suffering even more!
Liberal Asshole: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Now that is way TOO inconvient for me! I think I'll just stay this way, thank you. Go PETA!

Get the PETA mug.Ameriskank is a famous blend of "American" and "Skank" that is most often used by politically incorrrect (i.e. anyone who isn't a political figure) MRAs or anti-feminist.
The origin of this term lies in the belief that the majority of western women are skanks. The reason "Ameri" was used instead if presumably because American women embodies this belief and because America is the most famous western country. Aside from that, it also has a catchier ring.
