The Great American Pastime

The Great American Pastime — Formerly Baseball — but now Gun violence must be Great American Pastime because it’s played almost daily, and especially on weekends — adding a new shade of meaning to the term “weekend warrior”. It is not limited by seasons like baseball, soccer, hockey, football, basketball, or lacrosse; and is one ot the only pastimes that can be easily played year round!

Even children can play; it can be played anywhere; and there are no difficult rules to learn. No other country in the world plays this game as good as Americans! And we love this pastime so much that it has spontaneously erupted in grocery stores, places of worship, homes, and schools. In fact so little equipment is required for this pastime that it is no exaggeration to say that you never know when people are going to start playing. No body actually yells “SLAP LEATHER” like in the movies.

And you can only lose this game once.

Lock an load America; and, let’s all play!

American Taliban

A U.S. citizen and traitorous idiot who was captured in Afghanistan at the start of the war there against the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks. Real name John Walker Lindh, born in Washington D.C., he became radicalized and converted to Islam as a teen, then went to the Mideast to train and fight along with the Taliban punks against the U.S.

Could also refer to any U.S. citizen or resident who lives/lived or was born in the U.S. but becomes a radicalized Muslim and joins forces with the foreign Taliban or Taliban-related group, against the U.S.
I'm worried about Jimmy and his sudden strange behaviors, proclaiming Sharia Law and booking trips to the Mideast for "education." I hope he won't become another American Taliban.

American Sign Language

A series of hand gestures, each representing a letter of the alphabet or an entire phrase; Very useful to deaf people & also if you're somewhere ya gotta be quiet so you just sign instead of talk. It originated in the early 19th century in the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.
Monica's daughter is deaf so I got to see American Sign Language in action. It was a very interesting experience & her siblings knew how to sign too; their fingers just flew!
