Blink-182 - Flyswatter / Buddha / Cheshire Cat. Towards May, 1993 blink realised that a demo tape known as Flyswatter, recorded using a boom box in Raynor's bedroom, was quite shit, which explains the poor sound quality.

Toilet humour (also potty humour) is a type of humour dealing with bodily toilet functions. Public reference to bodily functions is taboo in many cultures. This genre also sees substantial crossover with the sexual humour genre, most likely because of the multiple-function nature of the body parts involved in both genre as well as the sexual fetishism involved with certain bathroom functions. Many artists have made their names promulgating toilet humour: Much of the lyrical content of avant-garde rock musici ...

Blinking is a function of the eye. When an eye becomes dry, closing the eyelid and opening it again rapidly can help to spread moisture across the surface of the eye and ease the discomfort. Blinking also serves the purpose of helping to remove irritants which have landed in the eye. Women and men do not differ in their rates of spontaneous blinking (M.J. Doughty, 2002, Optom Vis Sci), averaging around 10 blinks per minute in a laboratory setting. However, there is an established gender difference in inhibition of the startle r ...

In the primary Earth-616 continuity of the Marvel Universe, Blink was first introduced in the "Phalanx Covenant" storyline, in which the extraterrestrially-derived techno-organic beings called the Phalanx captured her and several other young mutants to assimilate their powers. This version of Blink was tense and panicky and frightened of her powers (having "woken up in a pool of blood" after her first use of them). She eventually used her abilities to “cut-up” Harvest, a Phalanx entity guarding her and her peers but apparently died in the process. Because of her sacrifice, the remaining captives were set free ...

OWL BLINK: A Curse.

After his bestselling book brought the phrase "Tipping Point" into popular usage, which is that moment when an idea, product or concept suddenly catches fire with the population at large, Malcolm Gladwell, in this book, gives two more phrases that are likely to become equally well-known: "blink" and "thin-slicing." We "blink" when we think without thinking. We do that by "thin-slicing," using limited information to come to our conclusion. What's interesting is that in our age of information overload, according to Gladwell, we often make better decisions with snap judgment ...
