Olden Spiddle

The excess spit or spiddle expelled from an elderly person's mouth. This most frequently occurs while they are retelling long stories from "back in their day." It has been rumored that collecting this olden spiddle and putting it in your boots will bless you with protection from certain outside threats, however, this has never been successfully proven.

Oldman Miller: Back in my day, we didn't have boots like you do, we had to make our boots from scratch, and we had to use charcoal, but the charcoal would go out before you were done...

Crazy Bob: Get the olden spiddle, put it in your boots!

Eternal Duct Tape

A legendary roll of duct tape which is capable of sticking to anything and never losing stickiness. However, the possibility of such a roll of duct tape raises the eternal question of whether you would be able to get the duct tape off the roll. Sadly, this is a question which can only truly be answered by discovering the Eternal Duct Tape.

If Eternal Duct Tape is eternally sticky, would you be able to get it off the roll?

Examples of Lukewarm Smoothies:

1. Peter, you look like a Lakie, but I still like you. <3 LWS

Salsa Emergency

An emergency of the salsa variety. Usually used in the process of preparing salsa con queso while trying to find the perfect balance of salsa and cheese. Whenever there is too little or too much salsa, there's a salsa emergency. To emphasize the urgency of the situation, "Salsa Emergency!" should be shouted whenever a salsa emergency is discovered.

Salsa Emergency!!

I know you're concerned since we're usually the ones in charge of salsa emergencies.

I was preparing the salsa con queso for Cinco de Nacho and we had a salsa emergency.

Hogan

An open-air frame structure with tarps covering the windows and doorways. Hogan camping involves lots of wood collection, fire building, battles with resident wildlife, hiking, cooking over the campfire (see Bullseye), and epic amounts of outdoor fun in a rustic setting.

I'm in the hogans this week.

Can we go look at the hogans?

Lets prank the hogans!

Pokey

A stick used in building and maintaining a campfire to arrange and rearrange the wood so as to minimize the number of burns to the fire builder. Next to the Left Handed Smoke Shifter a Pokey is the most necessary thing needed to maintain a good campfire. Especially, good pokey sticks have been known to be named usually with some form of the word pokey such as Pokey, Pokey Jr., or Pokey III.

I miss Pokey!

Hey Bear, we should raid Hogan B and get Pokey.
