1. A combination of the words "jackass" and "asshole". Often used on the radio, because the FCC lets it through. Assumed to have the same impact as "fucktard" or similar words.
2. Jackhole Industries -- the production company of Daniel Kellison, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla. They produced shows such as "The Man Show" and "Crank Yankers."

Get the jackhole mug.Recently acquired by DC Comics, it's the best humor magazine EVER. Sure, there's a handful of commercial advertisements in its pages nowadays, but who cares about that?
Features content such as movie/TV show satires, Spy Vs. Spy, offbeat comic strips, etc. MAD's mascot since its inception, Alfred E. Neuman, is on every cover in some humorous fashion.
The magazine has also spun-off a fairly good TV series, "Mad TV," which airs in reruns on Comedy Central. Basically, Saturday Night Live on steroids. ;-)

Get the MAD mug.The "Capacitance Electronic Disc" system, invented by RCA; also known as 'SelectaVision' and 'video records.'
RCA was trying to edge out the pre-existing VHS and LaserDisc formats, but ultimately failed in the long run. The format lasted from 1981 until 1986, and about 1700 titles were released on CED.
Movies came in large plastic caddies, which you inserted, as a whole, into a CED player, which disengaged the disc from the caddy when you pulled it back out (so you wouldn't touch the disc with your bare hands, which could cause disc damage.) A stylus picked up the audio/video data from the disc, which spun at 450 RPM.
To remove the videodisc, you simply push the caddy back into the player, and the disc re-engages itself in the caddy.
Like a CLV laserdisc, CEDs have one hour of content on each side... but you must remove and re-insert the disc upside-down, to continue playing (like with the early laserdisc players.)
If a film ran over two hours by a significant amount of time, it was released on a set of two CEDs. Otherwise, time compression was used to fit the movie onto one disc.
The estimated life of a CED videodisc is 500 playings. Not too bad.

Get the CED mug.An underrated Nickelodeon game show, which ran from 1993-1996. Players must complete challenges, based on the historical legend of the day.
Starting off, we have the following teams:
Red Jaguars
Purple Parrots
Blue Barracudas
Green Monkeys
Orange Iguanas
and Silver Snakes.
First, the teams must try to cross a moat. Only four of the six teams will make it to...
the Steps of Knowledge. Teams must correctly answer questions about the legend, and make it down to the bottom step. Two teams will advance to...
the Temple Games. The teams must complete 3 physical challenges, loosely based on the legend of the day, and they earn Pendants of Life for winning. The team with the most pendants, or the winner of the tiebreaker, will go to the bonus round...
Olmec's Temple. Here, the remaining team must negotiate the temple, get the legendary artifact, and get out, within 3 minutes. If they run out of time, or if the second player gets caught by aq temple guard with no pendant, GAME OVER.
If the team succeeds in getting out of the temple, with the artifact, before time is up, they will win a vacation.
All in all, this was a pretty good show, which died long before its time. Nickelodeon could have supported a show like this nowadays, but no.... they just HAVE to be the next Cartoon Network.

I always wanted to be a contestant on "Legends of the Hidden Temple" during its run... but I never could make the trip to Orlando. I just KNEW I could get all the way to the end -- and win the vacation!

Get the Legends of the Hidden Temple mug.Fucking While Intoxicated.
Getting drunk off your ass leads to lowered inhibitions... and sometimes, waking up next to an ugly beast in the morning.

John couldn't get a date, so he hung out in the bar and drank... and drank... and drank, and then left with the first person who said yes. When he went back to school on Monday morning, he was the laughing stock, and his classmates charged him with FWI.

Get the FWI mug.One of the best video games EVER made. Based on the comic book of the same name, "The Punisher" was a Capcom CPS-1 game that hit arcades in 1993, and would be released on Sega Genesis the following year.
Oddly enough, the game also features Nick Fury, who starred in an entirely different comic book.

Get the Punisher, The mug.A server-level Internet filtering service used by many public schools, which blocks out adult content, email access, personal webmastering accounts, and anything that is construed to be "fun." It's basically "censorship," any way you look at it.
Unfortunately, access to educational materials is blocked, due to technicalities.
For example, one would be hard-pressed to pull up the text of "Romeo and Juliet," because there is a line that says "Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!"
Of course, Romeo is referring to the heart, and not the female breast, in this sense; but the filtering program does not understand that.

Eventually, students will be presented with a "Bess Can't Go There" screen, whenever they try to access ANYTHING online.
