NESkimos

"Popo" and "Nana", from the early NES game "Ice Climber." Until they appeared in the Gamecube game "Super Smash Bros. Melee", no one knew who they were.
The NESkimos got their asses kicked off the mountain again... Dammit! *takes out the cartridge and chucks it across the room*

RV

A "Recreational Vehicle". Chiefly used in reference to a motorhome, but can also apply to travel trailers, airplanes, ATVs, etc.

You've probably heard of people going RV'ing, which is the act of traveling in a motorhome or trailer.

CED

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.
CEDs are some of the quirkiest, coolest retro technology you'll ever come across!

the call

A telephone call received (usually) in the small hours of the morning, usually bearing bad news about a close friend or family member -- most of the time, either they have died, are near death, and/or were involved in a terrible accident.
You better hope you never get "the call"......

gulag

1. A Russian penal institute. Stands for "G"lavnoe "u"pravlenie ispravitel'no-trudovykh "lag"erei (chief administration of corrective labor camps.)

2. Any mental institute in the USA. People get sent to those hellholes for expressing themselves, reporting abuse (or any wrongs done to them), writing poetry, speaking out against government policies, when their parents dislike them, and for various other HARMLESS "violations" of the so-called "social contract." Essentially, these people are punished for things they MIGHT do, based on someone's "artificial fear".

Inside the gulags of America, the "artificial fear" cycle is perpetuated. People who are less threatening than a person in a wheelchair, are treated worse than violent felons.

They are usually strapped down and jacked up with dangerous psychotropic drugs 24 hours a day, and they are given less rights than the most dangerous correctional institute inmates -- they are prevented from communicating with the outside world in ANY way, they are denied the right to an attorney or physician, and they are denied medical treatments for their injuries, cancer, and acute illnesses...... all in the name of $cientology.

Patients even get MURDERED by the staff... and these staffers never see a day in jail, because all the murders are covered up.
"Stop protesting and carrying signs outside government buildings, you fool, or the secret police will haul you off to the gulag!"

Mina

1. A character on the often-overlooked 1988 cartoon "Ronin Warriors" (the English dubbed version of "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers".) The series unfortunately lasted for ONLY 39 episodes. I'm surprised this hasn't been seen on Toonami.

2. Short for Samina -- a beautiful young lady who's a mild-mannered grocery cashier by day, but is a WORLD-CLASS anime artist by night!
I really do like working with Mina -- not only is she pretty, but she's fun to be around, too. :-)
