K

K is a common abbreviation for a strikeout in baseball. K's come in handy when using score cards and for other misc. uses. A forwards K means that the batter struck out swinging while a backwards K means that the batter did not swing at the last strike for the out.
Three K's in the inning, it doesn't get much better than that.

Alice's Restaurant

Alice's Restaurant is a song by folk artist Arlo Guthrie which is second only to turkey and football when it comes to "Thanksgivin'".

The song serves not only as a satircal look on the judiciary branch of the US government but it also demotes the armed services for a good portion of the song. As the song was based on real events Guthrie really did get out of the draft by faking mental insanity at his evaluation.
Every single year it's eat a drumstick of the turkey, play football 'til you can't move your arms and listen to Alice's Restaurant after fiddling with the radio all day until you find a station playing it.

Gobstoppers

#1: Another name for jawbreakers.

#2: A candy made by Nestle under their Willy Wonka Candy Company. Made in regular and chewy kinds these candies are more like Dentist Enemy #1 but they're considered by dentists to be Public Enemy #1 because they're more or less made out of pure sugar. They're like crack in edible flavored form and their effects are just about the same.
The first time I had a box of Gobstoppers I started saving up for dentures.

Associated Press

Commonly abreviated as AP, the Associated Press is an American news agency run by the media sources that contribute to it. It is the largest news agency in the world and has subscribers (people who pay a fee to use AP's material) in almost every free-market economy nation in the world.

The AP is made up of almost 2,000 American newspapers and about 5,000 TV/radio stations while its photo library has exceeded 10 million pictures of news.

Although the AP tries to remain unbiased some occasional yellow journalism and personal biases are included in media information.
I couldn't help but notice that almost every article about a national event was writen by the Associated Press in today's newspaper.
