Description:

Based in ridiculousness, and on the principle that humor is a coping strategy, anyone is of course welcome to join in this politically-inspired swap series.

Anyone remember the personality identification card deck of the Iraq invasion of 2003?

GASP now presents Not Playing With a Full Deck. Each swap will be for one altered playing card of beings, events, entities, et cetera that are apparent political casualties of 2017. Maybe we'll even play for a full deck, who knows? I will plan to cover multiple countries and political spectra, but as I am based in the United States I may be a bit biased towards US topics without your help!

NPWAFD #1: Alter a playing card, any one from any deck of standard-size cards. You may choose to celebrate either DIPPIN' DOTS, an ice cream product served at many American sporting events, made in Kentucky and apparent source of irritation to newly-installed White House press secretary "alternative facts" Sean Spicer --- OR -- you may choose the unfortunate newly-discovered moth species NEOPALPA DONALDTRUMPI, whose territory traverses the US-Mexico border and who apparently would feel challenged while changing in the male moth locker room.

The first political casualties of 2017, folks -- who do you vote for? Will Dippin' Dots or will the moth with the bouffant scale-over rise back first? You decide.

The swap: one altered playing card of any suit or number featuring either Neopalpa donaldtrumpi OR Dippin' Dots, sent to one partner. I will come back from bankruptcy to invite you to a social event, or alternatively spin in circles on a leaf for you should you not receive a swap.

Next up: I need stories out of Europe, I think. French elections coming up in April.

If you go historical, can we do "broccoli for Bush"? I believe it was banned from his plate if not all of his tables while he was POTUS.

I'm voting for the moth, have yet to be tempted to buy, eat or draw Dippin' Dots.

@Lady there was also ketchup as a vegetable under Reagan, wasn't there? I guess ketchup was more of a winner than a casualty ...

She's back! I could not resist this swap, T, our country in Aus, is going bonkers politically...good gad! Count me in, I at least know who Trump is... sitting on the fence at the moment waiting to see what he does... yep, count me in this series. Sounds perfect.

Glad to know that somewhere out there someone else is seeking hilarity of the shaking the head kind ...

rngstgstll 01/27/2017 #

And please keep us posted about Australian political casualties ...

rngstgstll 01/31/2017 #

... or anything else that takes my mind off the chaos in Washington -- please -- for a few minutes!

rngstgstll 02/ 1/2017 #

Well, I guess the idea that thinking about AUS would not involve Washington is shot. Maybe I should just cancel the swap ...

aYaYaYayyyy... Well, partners assigned.

Canadian PM compared to his dad? Or I'd rather do a Canadian Monutie helping immigrants across the border...
