BDS

Stands for Bush Derangement Syndrome; a affliction that causes normally calm and collected liberals to become furious and irrational whenever the subject of George W. Bush pops up.

Some of the more famous public displays of BDS include Howard Dean's "scream" speech, as well as Al Gore's screaming, red-faced rant where he accused Bush of betraying America. Online examples of BDS can be found on nearly any message board where politics are discussed.

"He BETRAYED this country! He PLAYED on our FEARS!"

-Al Gore

katana

A slightly-curved, single-edged sword carried by the samurai in fuedal Japan. Contrary to popular belief, the katana was not the primary weapon used by samurai, and was mostly used only for dueling or ceremonial purposes. Over the last few decades, movies and anime have exaggerated the sharpness and durability of the weapon to a point where many people now believe katanas to be some kind of indestructable super-sword.

"Following World War II, many American GIs brought home katanas looted from Japanese officers."

Magic: The Gathering still remains popular to this day, although not to the same level as it used to.

The player's Magic: The Gathering collection contained over a thousand cards.
