Pertwee coma

A self-induced healing coma you go into when you’re physically or mentally exhausted, whether by a severe injury or sensory overload. Usually lasts between 10 minutes to an hour. During that time, you’re unconscious with some occasional delirium. May involve self-freezing. It feels like a nice nap and it always leaves you feeling refreshed afterwards.

Named after the Third Doctor himself who would often do this after going through serious physical or mental trauma, pissing off Jo in the process.

The perfect storm of jet-lag, seasickness, and heat exhausted me so much that I went into one of those Pertwee comas.

Happy Monster Band

A Playhouse Disney cartoon from 2007 that indoctrinated kids into listening to Tally Hall. They were way better than the Wiggles because it was fucking TALLY HALL!

Joe Hawley (red tie) does the voice of Bluz the blue keyboardist, who is my favorite.
Zubin Sedghi (blue tie) hits some high notes as L.O., the yellow bassist.
Rob Cantor (yellow tie) voices Frred, the red guitarist.
Ink the pink spider doesn’t really sing, she just hangs out on the drums like Ross.
I wonder who Andrew would be. Rock and Raul, the two-headed Zak and Wheezie looking guys?

It’s funny how they sound like normal kids when they speak, but can turn into Tally Hall with the flick of a switch.

I still remember the lyrics to the Happy Monster Band 16 years later. 4 year old me loved it. Now I’m a fan of Tally Hall.

“Yin and Yang are ringing in the new year, celebrating all the days within! Yin lights a candle, dances like a dragon. Yang does a lion dance for him.”

Depressed gay teenagers (or in my case, 20-somethings) listen to Tally Hall, Lemon Demon, Radiohead, and They Might be Giants. So if you grew up with Happy Monster Band, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, or Neil Cicierega memes, you’re gay now.

band-ending death

A sudden death of a band member (usually the lead singer) that leads to the band's permanent break up. They will decide that the member that died was irreplaceable and thus cannot go on.

Please note that there are plenty of bands, like the Rolling Stones, that carried on after the loss of a bandmate. Sometimes the surviving members form a new band, like how the surviving members of Joy Division reformed as New Order when Ian Curtis killed himself.

Queen didn't disband when Freddie Mercury passed away and John Deacon left, they just changed as a band.

The Doors was kinda this because they released two shitty albums after Jim Morrison died.

Notable band-ending deaths:
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys)
Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
The Heartbreakers (Tom Petty)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Marc Bolan (T. Rex)
Lemmy (Motorhead)
Jerry Garcia (The Grateful Dead)
Phife Dawg (A Tribe Called Quest)
Jam Master Jay (Run DMC)
Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)
Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees)
Peter Steele (Type O Negative)
Chris Cornell (Audioslave)
Dolores O'Ridoran (Cranberries)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
And most likely... Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)

GILF

Grandparent I’d Like to Fuck. Just like MILF or DILF except with a grandma or grandpa.

Someone who is a grandparent (or at least old enough to be one), but still very attractive and fit. Bonus points if their hair is gray or white and they’re visibly old, like a Silver Fox.

Generally they are at least 50 years old, even though it’s possible to become a grandparent in your 40s.

Teenager watching Doctor Who in the early 70s:
The Third Doctor is such a GILF! I hope I look as good as him when I’m old!

Zell

The villager in my Animal Crossing village who’s always getting sick.

He is one of the two antelope species in this game, the other being Lopez. He is a smug blackbuck who is definitely gay. His name comes from “gazelle” even though he calls himself a deer.

(Actually happened to me yesterday)
Genji: “Yo, I heard that Zell is sick!”
Me: “lol no shit”
(At Zell’s house)
Zell: (is sweating and walking like an old man)
Me: “Hey”
Zell: “Ugh, another migraine!”
Me: (gives medicine)
Zell: “Thanks. Here, let me give you something sentimental.”
