The name "Cincinnati chili" is often confusing to those unfamiliar with it because the term "chili" evokes the expectation of chili con carne,[2]:10[17][18][21][22][23]:145[24] which it "bears no resemblance to."[25] Cincinnati chili is a Mediterranean-spiced[3][24][26] meat sauce[3][7][17][22][23][26][27] for spaghetti or hot dogs and is very seldom eaten by the bowl[18][23][24] as is typical with chili con carne. It is common for Cincinnatians to describe it starting with, "Well, it's not really chili..."[19][22][27][28]

Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He had an active role in the country's politics, drafting its Declaration of Independence in conjunction with the Committee of Five, then holding various positions in the country's government, notably being its third President. However, in Mario's Time Machine, Bowser travels back in time to Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 to steal the Declaration of Independence before Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers can sign it, and Mario brings back the document so that it can be returned.

As such, there are numerous features programmed into the game to support the game's highly social nature. For instance, a good way for new players to break the ice with the game's veterans is to visit a popular bar and buy a round of the local specialty brew.

The socialist fraternal kiss or socialist fraternal embrace is a special form of greeting between the statesmen of Communist countries. This act demonstrates the special connection that exists between Socialist states.[1]

The socialist fraternal kiss consisted of an embrace, combined with a series of three kisses on alternate cheeks.[2] In rare cases, when the two leaders considered themselves exceptionally close, the kisses were given on the mouth rather than on the cheeks.[3]

The socialist fraternal embrace consists of a series of three deep hugs, alternating between the left and right sides of the body, without kissing.[4] This modified greeting was adopted by Communist leaders in Asia, which lacks a tradition of cheek kissing as greeting. During the Cold War, Communist leaders in Asia consented to receive kisses from Europeans and Cubans, but they themselves omitted the kiss.

Since the end of Communism in eastern Europe, the socialist fraternal kiss has died out. However, the socialist fraternal embrace continues to be exchanged between Communist leaders in Asia. In addition, Cuba has also adopted the Asian form of the ritual.[5][6]

In late 2016, after one popular user reposted to his blog some "choice excerpts" from the Wikipedia article about grain entrapment along with a video showing a mannequin sinking in flowing grain, they began to increase. Finally, in October 2017, a Tumblr account dedicated to grain-entrapment memes was created.

The unlikely character name is widely believed to have been an in-joke between the developers, since the game also features a similar looking character named Bagu (バグ), meaning software bug. In computing, a bug is a flaw in the programming code. Error and Bug are thus assumed to form a comical, in-universe parallel. In the English version, the name Erā was translated, but the name Bagu was not. Many gamers therefore missed the joke and variously believed the "I am Error" phrase to be a mistranslation, a misspelling, or an actual error message.

Goon of Fortune is an Australian drinking game between any number of individual people. The name of the game is a spoof on the TV show Wheel of Fortune.[1]

"This game is based on popular game show wheel of fortune [sic]. 1 or more (depending on number of participants) goonsacks are pegged to a Hills Hoist and players sit under the perimeter of the clothes line. A mixture of red and white wines can be used if players are of expert level, [sic] however only 1 variety is recommended for amateurs. A player spins the hills hoist [sic] to start the game and when the clothesline comes to rest the player/s under where the goonbag stopped must drink an amount of goon agreed upon before the commencement of the spin. Players are prohibited to impede the natural spin of the clothesline in any way. Penalties vary on surroundings."

Kroll's first significant career success came when he co-starred in the ABC sitcom Cavemen, based on the Geico-insurance TV-commercial characters. He genuinely called his role in the seven-episode comedy “the most important experience of my professional career”.[11]

never aired the pilot and then cancelled halfway through the run


The initial limited screening of the pilot episode was met with a less than favorable reception. The pilot was accused of being racist[13] because some critics thought the Cavemen were being used as a metaphor for blacks and other minorities.[14] The series subsequently underwent a major creative "retooling", which included changing the show's venue from Atlanta, Georgia to San Diego, California.[15][16] The pilot episode has remained unaired on ABC.
