OMG, I'm trying to be snarky on FB and almost used "trump" as a verb (in its normal sense), and then realized I needed to find another word to use.
I went with "one-up."
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Stupid orange-headed fool taking perfectly good words away from us. I see outraged bridge clubs muttering dolefully into their tea cakes.

It's never pretty when a large company tries to be cool.
This brings to mind the rapping Colonel Sanders cartoon from quite a few years back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I see outraged bridge clubs muttering dolefully into their tea cakes.
Or passive-aggressively poking at each other. "Three NO TRUMP!!!!"

The guy I was sniping at responded with a variation of "all lives matter", but fortunately I'd preemptively said I wasn't going to engage with him any more.
(Jesus, white people, why are so many of us clueless?)

Oh, Monday is going to be glorious, a high of 78. Tuesday will be 86 and the rest of the week in the 90s, but Monday will be blissful--and I'll be on vacation!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Sounds wonderful Connie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm always nervous at airport immigration. I'm always a little nervous just going through the TSA lines domestically. I don't trust anyone in authority anymore, frankly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Meanwhile, the temperatures here are supposed to be in the mid-to-upper 90s, plus the humidity making it feel even hotter. Yup, summer in DC...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or passive-aggressively poking at each other. "Three NO TRUMP!!!!"
My grandmother has been cheerfully posting on FB for months how much she enjoys playing bridge NO TRUMP.
