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!

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.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
