Grubstake is defined as an advance payment with the balance due upon the receipt of goods or services.

Services offered at the laundromat include washing, drying, and folding.

Folding in poker will very often save you from losing even more of your chips.

 

[Basnya]

Chips (C.H.I.P.S) was an acronym for California Highway Interstate Patrol and was a popular TV show that starred Eric Estrada and Larry Wilcox in the 1970's

 

[dmargalotti]

The 1970's spawned some really bad television shows including the aforementioned C.H.I.P.'s along with other gems such as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, BJ & The Bear, The Dukes of Hazzard, What's Happening, Operation Petticoat, and Eight is Enough.

 

[Anyacat]

Eight is Enough was more than enough, they should have stopped at seven, or better yet, practiced safe sex.

 

[sonnyT]

Sex is scary, said Rodney Dangerfield, the first time I did it, I was scared to death! I was alone!

 

[dmargalotti]

Alone in the dark is probably the scariest place to be when you're a child.

"Child for sale" is an announcement my mother would threaten to run in the local paper unless I started to behave myself.

[Yes, "myself" has been used before. But since WMC isn't here anymore I can recycle it with impunity!] ;D

 

[dmargalotti]

Myself could be the name of an online community for very lonely people with no friends who post messages to themselves...think of it as Myspace for losers.

Losers are just the kind of people you want to avoid on the internet--don't worry, they're easy to spot, you'll know them when you see them.

Themwas a band formed in 1964 featuring Van Morrison. They were from Northern Ireland.

 

[dmargalotti]

Ireland is known for breeding exceptional race horses.

 

[4dude]

Race horses are what you see on networks like OTB and other racing channels

 

[Basnya]

Channels are what radio and television frequencies are sometimes called although a channel can also be a body of water

 

[raptusregaliter]

Water is both a universal base and a universal solvent.

 

[dmargalotti]

Solvent is a term that in financial circles means being able to meet financial obligations.

 

[raptusregaliter]

"Obligations unmet" is a good two-word explanation of the mortgage loan crisis.

 

[Basnya]

Crisis situations often result in well-meaning but misguided legislation that creates more problems than it was meant to remedy.

 

[dmargalotti]

Remedy a situation by treating the root cause, not the symptoms.
