A collectable card game in which two or more players battle each other using creatures, spells, artifacts, and enchantments. You can win in several ways:
1. Each player starts with 20 life. If one player's life total drops to 0 or less, they lose.
2. You can "deck" your opponent, meaning his library of cards is depleted and he can no longer draw.
3. If a player has 10 poison counters on them, they lose. This was a half-formed concept in earlier sets and is now extinct.
4. Your opponent can concede, or give up. This is often done when a player realizes that his situation is hopeless and decides to spare both players the wait of playing the whole thing out.
Magic is easily the most prolific and well known CCG ever. While other games have came along that might sell more than magic, such as Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh, these eventually (will) disappear as the players mature and move on to Magic, which has endured for 10 years.

A right-wing extremist group that claims to "support the troops," but strangely enough believes that sending them to places where they'll most likely come home in body bags is the best way of doing so. In the opinion of GOE (as this group is known), shipping young men and women off to die is patriotic. Gathering of Eagles members get their rocks off by harassing peaceful demonstrators at anti-war protests. They have also been known to film and threaten peace activists and have gone so far as to assault the grieving families of service members killed in recent conflicts. Anybody who disagrees with the GOE philosophy is summarily labled a traitor and a "moonbat," whatever that is. GOE members are opposed by several noble groups that include the Winter Soldiers and Veterans for Peace, groups whose members know the horrors of war and seek to spare future generations from them.
Carolyn Swartout is an infamous member of the right-wing fringe extremist group known as a Gathering of Eagles. She has been witnessed harassing peaceful protestors and uses her family, including her minor son, in attempts to trigger violent response. She is a coward.

Get the los gatos high school mug.Short for "Gatsometer" - a Dutch made "photographic trap" system used in the UK and Europe to identify speeding motorists. The GATSO traps are unmanned and take a photo of the rear of the speeding vehicle.
"Gatsometer BV" was founded in 1958 by Maurice Gatsonides, who was a famous rally driver and invented the "Gatsometer". This was the world's first reliable speed measuring device.

Fucking GATSO camera photographed me speeding on the A449. I wish those cunting police officers would invest more time and money in catching burglars instead of implementing another of the government's plethora of stealth taxes.
