opportunistic expat

a person who moves from a developed country to an developing country with the intention of enjoying an easier way of life, often at the expense of the locals. For example, many English teachers in East Asia like to convince others that they are serving or sacrificing for the populations in which they live and work for a salary far above local wages, but in reality, they are taking advantage of the people living in the host country.
Many of the opportunistic expats in Bangkok who frequent the city's whore houses must pretend that human trafficking does not exist.

Exdeath is the villain of Final Fantasy V. He looks like a heavily armored knight, but is actually a mage. Wields a sword, but is actually a tree. He is also part of the void. So that officially makes him tree-knight-magesword. He likes to laugh a lot, which hides his true identity as a jolly old soul. His famous laugh sounds like "HURF DURF". Hates turtles, he can often be seen fighting with teleporting ones specifically, in an epic battle to the death. EX-death, that is. He also enjoys sending poor souls and inanimate objects into the void, but that's because his mother, the Cloud of Darkness didn't hug him as a child. She also has a HURF-DURF laugh, but conceals it because Exdeath is a tree-knight-magesword.
"HURF-DURF I'M A TREE"

"YOU DON'T LIKE FINAL FANTASY V? TO THE VOID WITH YOU!"

"GOLBEZ SUCKS"

"GARLAND SECRETLY LIKES MEN SO THAT'S WHY I'M MORE HURF-DURF!"

"EXDEATH IS THE KING OF ARMOR, GABRANTH NEEDS TO GET OUT. INTO THE VOID. TO THE VOID!!!!!"

Games of minimal exertion

Games played after gorging one's self on food. Perfect for the family get togethers, tailgate parties, or even after a trip to the Golden Corral with friends. Typical games include horse shoes, bean bags, or for the ambitious, darts.
Aunt Bev, that was a great Thanksgiving meal! I'm stuffed! It's time for some games of minimal exertion. Uncle Cletus, let's go throw some horse shoes!
