wag the dog

To start a war or military operation to divert negative politcal attention away from yourself. Based on the movie of the same name, where the President fabricates a fake war to take political pressure away from a scandal.
When Cater ordered Opertaion Eagle Claw he was playing wag the dog, because he was a very unpopular and weak President and wanted to seem like he handled it strongly.

It is suggested that Clinton wagged the dog by helping NATO bomb Kosovo at the same time as the Lewinski scandal. This theory came about because the film had just been released.

new year's

A holiday that celebrates the idea of all the good things that will happen in another year. Most people use this time to get drunk.
What better way to start off a new year than with a head-splitting hangover, the stench of vomit on your clothes, and a DWI.

celldweller

Band formed by Klayton (aka Klay Scott). In the self titled debut album he recorded all the instruments and male vocals. He later assembled a full band for touring. Thier sound is best described as "all over the map" (in a good way!) Their style goes from metal to techno to electronic to acoustic and almost, but not quite to country. Their album has sold quite well despite being an indie band. The album can be found on celldweller.com or on iTunes, but some music stores now carry it. Definately worth searching for.
"What is that music you're listening to?"
"It's CellDweller man, you should check it out."
"I sure think it's keen!"

call of duty

A WWII based game. A must play game in single and multiplayer. Lots of action and intensity. Worth the money BUT:

1. A bit short, but very scripted.
2. People who play it online do nothing but bitch about players, maps and weapons.
3. Stay clear of the console ones and the PC expansion unless you REALLY want to play them.
Two years later, and Call of Duty is still the mainstay of out LANs!

ramping

A relatively new feature on high-end paintball markers:
The player simply presses the trigger 5 times a second for the first second, then the marker will speed up to a 15 balls per second rate of fire after the first second.

This has caused much controversy as it is being allowed in some professional paintball leagues, even though fully automatic fire is not, and ramping, at its core, is not a semi-automatic rate of fire, the only rate of fire previously allowed.

Ramping is generally considered a crutch of weak players and cheaters who don't have the skill or dexterity to shoot their markers at a fast rate of fire without having to rely on ramping or automatic fire.
Ramping is for pussies.

Dye

The Cadillac of paintball products. Every product Dye makes is the best product money can buy.
It is possible that you could use Dye gear for every piece of paintball equipment you could use, except for paint.
