Budd Dwyer

Pennsylvania state Treasurer who committed suicide on TV in 1987. He was about to be sentenced and sent to prison. He called a press conference, read his suicide note, and blew his brains out with a .357 magnum.

It was snowing that day in Harrisburg, and lots of kids were home from school. Their cartoons were interrupted by this breaking news, in all its graphic glory.

Seared lots of young minds, it did. And this was pre-internet, mind you, so they weren't used to seeing stuff.

Whoh, did you see that? That Budd Dwyer dude just blew his fucking brains out!

conquel

a movie or story that happens at the same time as a previously-issued movie or story. Not before -- that would be a prequel. Not after -- that would be a sequel. But THE SAME TIME -- that's a conquel.

"The Lion King 1 1/2" is a conquel of "The Lion King."

fourthmeal

a corporate conspiracy to further addict the hapless masses to crappy, fat-laden food.

Dude #1: Want to go for fourthmeal? I feel like some Mexican food.

Dude #2: No, I don't do everything the TV tells me to. I think I'll have a salad. Besides, if you think you're going to get Mexican food at Taco Bell, you deserve what you get.

O'Brien

a high official in the Ministry of Love in "1984." He tortured the protagonist, Winston Smith, into submission to the totalitarian "Party." O'Brien was played in the film by Richard Burton; it was Burton's last role.

Winston was struck, as he had been struck before, by the tiredness of O'Brien's face. - George Orwell, "1984"
