Get the Persepolismug. Hilarious 1980 movie. After the navigator and both pilots are among multiple people on an airline heading to Chicago from Los Angeles that get sick from some strange foodbourne illness, a doctor and two flight attendants seek the help from everyday man Ted Stryker (the ex-lover of one of the flight attendants) who has trouble just going near a plane since he made what he believed to be a bad move during an airstrike in the Vietnam War.
The movie is known for it's very random humor (i.e. a group of reporters is getting info about the crisis when one of them says "Okay boys, lets get some pictures". They then walk over to a wall with framed photographs of airlines and randomly start taking them down and walking out the door).

Get the Airplane!mug. A strict dress code set up by schools to keep students in line. Originally used by Catholic and Private schools, uniforms have become a growing trend in public schools since the mid-90s.

Get the School Uniformmug. The feeling after New Years for the first part of January where you realize the holidays are officially over and not only will you have to wait 11 months to re-experience the joy you felt during this time, you have to return to the norm (school, work, etc.) knowing there won't be much to look forward to for a while unfortunately. Usually lasts about a week to a month, though extreme cases may not wear off until spring.

Get the Holiday Comedownmug. The NBA's equivalent of the Black Eyed Peas.
Once a very respected and talented player. The longtime leader of the once-lowly Cleveland Cavaliers, actually leading them to successful playoff runs, even bringing them to the finals in 2007, though they lost to the San Antonio Spurs. During this time he was on par with basketball legend Michael Jordan, even taking his number 23 as a sign of respect. However, all the success and fame went to his head and convinced him that fame and money were more important than talent and respect. When his contract with the Cavs expired at the end of the 2009-10 season, Lebron used all the damage that fame did to him and decided to sign with the already dominant Miami Heat. They made it to the finals that year, but fortunately the Dallas Mavericks beat them, giving Lebron a reality check

I've really fallen behind in Spanish this year. I don't think I can finish but I really don't want it to turn into a Cincinnati subway

Get the Cincinnati Subwaymug. Once one of the most important steps in creating and maintaining society, schools in the last 60 years or so have become about as effective as a condom with no covering on the tip.
Multiple factors have contributed to the downfall of school effectiveness, including (but not limited to):
*Teachers that treat students like they're more stupid than they really are
*Schoolboards and administrations that are more concerned with what the students are wearing than what they are learning
*Textbooks so boring and poorly written they make the worst parts of the bible look like the Harry Potter books
*Students who take out their frustrations with the school system on other students, making it hard for anyone to look forward to going
*Assignments, tests, and grading systems that make students start worrying about the smallest, most insignificant things.

Schools are really now nothing but prisons that let you go home every day-so long as you return the next.
