Venue Shopping 

Venue Shopping — The art of finding the perfect judge and municipality in which to force a pivotal court case designed to restrict the rights of “the many “ by “the few”.

This is currently the most popular political tactic used by “the old guard” to prevent the inevitability of America’s changing demographic realities.

Some say it is a reaction to Barack Obama having become a successful, two term, popular Black President of the United States; but, that would be like saying that at the heart of American culture there is an unstated racism.

Wait…that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Two places where Venue Shopping can be clearly seen in our border policies and in out treatment of women and the rights that they have — or don’t have — over their own bodies.

In the old days we didn’t say “venue shopping — which is kind of a disinfected boutique term, we used to say “THE FIX IS IN”.
Opponents to the reproductive freedom of women went Venue Shopping in Texas to find a judge who would outlaw gynecological medications used in both miscarriages and abortions..

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

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.
