karmamechanic

Spiritual (or pseudospiritual?) guru who attends to the inexpressible needs of the multitude, in return for lots and lots of cash. A pun on "car mechanic", from an early Genesis song, "The Battle of Epping Forest", from the album Selling England by the Pound (1973). Think Rajneesh, Jim Jones, L. Ron Hubbard, or any of a host of others.
He employed me as a karmamechanic/ with overall charms/ his hands were then fit to receive/ recieve alms ...,

silicon carne

Cyberporn. Pun on (hot-flavoured) chili con carne (chili with meat) and the silicon in the chips in your computer.
I surfed the web for the sites my friends from school had set up two or three years before and found myself looking at more and more silicon carne instead.

sloe gin

Alcoholic beverage made by flavouring gin with the juices of sloes, the fruit of the blackthorn bush. The berries are picked traditionally in October to November, although global warming is edging this back into September. The best stuff is a deep shadowy red and tastes like a mixture of woodsmoke, sugar, fire, and something more sublime again. If you want the genuine article, make it yourself.

sometimes you eat the bear

Sometimes you eat the bear ... and sometimes the bear eats you. Expression describing the bipolar nature of life, the universe and everything, popularised among other places in the movie The Big Lebowski and fifty percent proven, at any rate, by the life of Timothy Treadwell.
Well, dude, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. But why d'ya have to use so many cuss words along they way?

Xena

1. Drop-dead gorgeous babe who turned from the ways of evil to become a warrior princess in ancient Greece (televised version), and fought off various sneaky types and CG divinities. Played by Lucy Lawless, who is almost as gorgeous. Fought with a ring-shaped discus weapon and her own considerable wits. Had a girlfriend, Gabrielle, played by Renee O'Connor. You became Xena's lover with the skill of a champion and the luck of the gods, and if you messed her about she'd slice your head off and feed it to the Minotaur.

2. 1500-mile diameter dwarf planet orbiting the Sun at 38 to 98 times Earth's distance every 557 Earth years, accompanied by at least one moon called Gabrielle in honour of the undying couple of the TV series. So named unofficially on their discovery; these objects have since been renamed Eris and Dysnomia, after a Greek goddess and her daughter demon of lawlessness, indicating that the International Astronomical Union has at best a subtle sense of humour.
1. If Xena comes to kill you, consider yourself honoured.

2. It's colder than a polar bear's ass on Xena.
