Birthday

It means something different depending on age group:

0-3: Too young to understand
4-9: Best day of your life
10-14: Day you're treated better than usual
15-19: Day opposite sex is more likely to put out
20-death: Day to celebrate a year closer to death*

*Exceptions is with your 21st Birthday due to it being the legal age of adult and you are now considered old enough to consume alcohol legally and some age in your mid-sixties due to being old enough to retire.

Birthday reactions:

Young child: YES!!!!! I'm now a year older!!!!
Pre-teen: Yes! Closer to a teenager
Teen: Hopefully a (member of opposite sex) will do me tonight
Adult (Normal): Hooray I'm a year closer to the grave.
Adult (21): TIME TO GET DRUNK!!!!!!
Adult (60s): Finally, I can retire

Animation Domination

Fox network's sunday night line-up. Went through different phases/names before settling on the current one. Played great shows in the past like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Futurama, and even non-animated shows like Malcolm in the Middle. Unfortunately the programming block has been ruined by many mistakes:

-The ongoing of The Simpsons to the point where it is unfunny
-The cancellations of Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle, and King of the Hill
-Seth Macfarlane's domination of the block: As of May 2011 there are four shows on the block and three of them are Macfarlane's (and he currently has a fourth one in production)

I haven't watched the Animation Domination sunday night block on FOX since they cancelled "King of the Hill".

Snaggletooth

Often called "war-pig", the intentionally ugly but extremely iconic mascot of heavy metal legends Motorhead.

Snaggletooth is as famous as the Misfits' crimson ghost or The Rolling Stones' lips logo.

The Exploding Hearts

An awesome Punk Rock/Power Pop act that met with a tragic end. Formed in Portland in 2001 by Adam Cox, Matt Fitzgerald, Terry Six, and Jeremy Cage. They released their debut album "Guitar Romantic" in April 2003 but sadly Cox, Fitzgerald, and Cage were killed in a car wreck three months later.

Long live The Exploding Hearts.

Biker Bar

A bar specifically made for bikers. Usually found along the side of a highway in small towns or in the middle of nowhere. Common activities include drinking (obviously), playing of billiards and/or darts, music (either recorded or live), sitting around and talking, and looking at each other's motorcycles.

Biker bars have a reputation for being rough places. Do not enter one if you are an outsider; if need to enter one arises however, make sure you are dressed tough, not looking dorky, and always watch what you say.

My dad once dreamed of opening a biker bar in southern Illinois.

Linkin Park

Contrary to what most people are saying on this site, LP are actually a good group. Yes they aren't as good as other Nu-Metal bands like Korn and Disturbed (I wouldn't even consider them Nu-Metal or any kind of Metal music really, more like straight up Rap Rock) but they are still a very creative, talented band that's a helluva lot better than most Rap/Pop crap on the radio today.

Linkin Park is not great, but still good. Too many people are just closed minded.

Persepolis

A fantastic graphic novel written by Marjane Satrapi based on her experiences growing up during and in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Also made into an equally great animated film.

Usually Persepolis turns out to be required reading in school that is actually enjoyable
