A defensive structure containing the home of a warlord and his family, central command for his military and base of operations for his regime.
The peasants looked with fear on the donjon up on its mount. Last year, an uprising had been put down. The lord's men had come down and burned some huts, and the leaders of the rebellion were publicly flayed and dismembered.

The best canned coffee drink out of Thailand. It comes in a short can with the grinning visage of who appears to be the late Peter Ustinov in a white suit, drinking a cup of coffee. The short, stubby can provides just the right amount of cool, creamy coffee goodness.

Something that causes destruction solely for the sake of causing destruction. A self-controlled machine of violent destruction whose sole purpose is to smash everything in site and cause utter havoc. Usually colossal in size, humanoid in form, and invented by any of a number of mad scientists living in your, yes YOUR city, bent on revenge for some perceived past wrong.
1. "The Army had to be called in after an inhuman robot of damage (IRD) destroyed 12 city blocks downtown yesterday.
2. "He ransacked the buffet table like an inhuman robot of damage."
3. "I go through essay questions like an inhuman robot of damage!"

An expression used to call someone on an obvious lie, prevarication or falsehood. A way of calling bullshit. Since it is now known Elvis did mountains of drugs, stating that he had always been clean would be obvious bullshit. Origin: Penn and Teller's show Bullshit, where the phrase is used to call bullshit on the various claims of creationists.

Jonathan K. Businessman, having a normal one, released a string of dozens of tweets today repeatedly denying that he was was a furry, was involved in securities fraud, or was in any addicted to tentacle porn. The tweets, phrased in Elizabethan English, compared the S.E.C. to the Horned King, a character from the Disney movie "The Black Cauldron."

The county seat of Hampshire County in Western Massatchusetts. Northampton is the home of Smith College, one of America's first women's colleges. Perhaps because of the large number of college students persuing liberal arts majors, the city has a fairly free, artistic spirit to it. Politically, Northampton is mostly liberal, with a few leftists, and is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the region. Because of this, and because of the presence of a women's college, the city has gained a reputation as a city overrun with angry lesbians with numerous tattoos and crew cuts. Though there are many LGTB individuals living in Northampton, this rumor is somewhat of an exageration.
Northampton is dominated by a wide array of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and a few places where they sell insanely expensive jewelery and glassware, obviously catering to the growing trend of gentrification that threatens to eradicate the town's original spirit.

I'll be in Northampton for the rest of the evening, me and Louie are going to Thornes to pick up tickets for the ska show at Pearl Street.
