gooberliberation's definitions
A fancy schmancy audio company. Their headphones are pretty sweet and the sound cancelling tech is top nontch. But, for some reason, they seem to market primarily to the elderly. As a result, their products such as their Wave-Audio(radios with tubes-n-shit in them) tend to have heavily simplified controls, bland styling and automatic equalizer settings that only sound good with classical music. Despite having some good ideas Bose also is technologically conservative; with products not being MP3-capable years after everyone else is. Lasers used in CD players are also weak and cannot read through scratches that others could. Overpriced? Probably.
Those Bose wave music systems sound like shit when trying to play anything that uses "unnatural instruments" like synthesizers and electric guitars. That rules out like 75% of popular music. Wave radios sound good, but they don't sound 500 dollar-good. Mabye like 80 dollar good.

Get the bose mug.Main character of show by the same name. Full name Angus Macgyver. Part secret agent for government and phoenix foundation, part handyman, part mad scientist, part community service volunteer. He might refuse to use guns, but nobody could ever call him a pussy. Macgyver can battle soviet supersoldiers and serve soup at a homeless shelter all in one episode. Macgyver was the epitome of 1980s era optimism. Beats the commies, fixes the environment, cures aids, and can make a helicopter out of garbage bags and bamboo. Most importantly, he's the only guy who ever looked cool in a mullet and is probably the only guy who could get away with it now.
Who'd win in a fight? Macgyver or Col Jack O'Neal from Stargate SG-1?
Trivia: On episodes where Macgyver makes explosives from household materials, the producers always leave out one ingredient, fearing that people at home would imitate the recipe. While most inventions and scientific wizardry seen on the show probably wouldnt work too well in real life, they're all scientifically sound and Could work.

Get the Macgyver mug.The CSI effect is a phenomenon that now frustrates the american legal system. Prospective jurors are beginning to have unrealistic expectations of forensic technique and expect airtight cases with slam-dunk convictions. While television makes things look easy(as always), the fact is, that forensic science involves excruciatingly long procedures(DNA testing takes days/weeks, not hours to do) and don't always produce conclusive results. Experts blame the popularity of the the television shows Law and Order and CSI(hence the name). The CSI effect also applies to criminals who attempt to cover up their crimes by countering techniques seen on television, such as shaving off body hair to prevent leaving DNA.
A possible sign of the CSI effect: American universities are experiencing a sharp increase in students studying forensic science. However, this may be as much due to the publicity of the OJ Simpson and Scott Peterson murder trials

Get the CSI effect mug.A brand of sneaker with a removable slick plastic plate in the soles, under the arch of the foot. The plate enabled the wearer to grind on rails and edges without the aid of skates or a board. Style-wise, they tended to be pretty chunky looking, similar to skate shoes, but were probably not as comfortible. They were cool for only a few months in 1998-99, but were popular enough to cause concern among parents and schools. Succeeded by Heelys a couple years later, which had heel-mounted weels and were uglier and even less comfortible. Soaps is now a defunct maker.
Haha, my cousin saved up for a vintage pair of Soaps and broke his jaw the first week after he got 'em!

Get the Soaps mug.A neat little airliner made by boeing that is 9.55 times better looking than anything airbus has ever made(its a scientific fact). That said, the B-737 is the most produced airliner ever, with nearly 5000 built so far(and over a thousand on order). While the basic design dates back to the late 1960s, the 737 has been continuously built in dozens of variants and upgrades. Recently(2005), the 737 was selected as the basis for the US navy's new P-8 patrol plane(also the australian millitary's wedgetail). The Boeing Y1 is expected to be its eventual successor.

Get the 737 mug.A compact car built by the Ford Motor Company. Handles well, performs decently... don't get me wrong, its a pretty good car...
THAT'S UGLY AS FUCK, especially the hatchback version.
Usually driven by good ol' boys who can't afford gas and maintinance for their muscle cars or pickup trucks, but will not buy an imported compact.
Some say lesbians drive Focuses as well(however they prefer subaru station wagons more).
