Knife gambling is the worst kind, but also the most rewarding. That's the kind where each of the games is run by a large, talking, anthropomorphic Knife or Blade. He (usually a he) deals the cards and calls the numbers and counts the chips. And when you lose, he takes your palm and makes a deep lasting gouge. He aims to scar.
Some of these knife-men have mustaches, which is odd considering they share no other mammalian traits.

Slice cucumbers into medallions. Arrange carrot strings on the face of each, depicting current time from the world's population centers. For extra credit, use one slice to depict local time from Antarctica and another for the final resting place of the ship wreck Titanic.
Lay these out around the edge of a dinner plate. In the center, build a pile of cherry tomatoes crowned by a radish rose. Step back and admire your work. You've learned a fun and nutritious way to distract yourself from the certainty of death.

While the people using signs and words to protest a massive increase in the power of the government to void contracts and decrease the power of people to negotiate contracts are referred to as wild-eyed haters who strike fear into the hearts of reporters.
Serious. Carry a gun to protest a debate, and you're just a freedom loving citizen. Carry a sign to protest the governer voiding contracts, and threatening to call out the National Guard and you are a greedy wild-eyed hater.

Where was all this zeal for voiding contracts last year when bailed-out financial firms were handing out monster bonuses to their executives?
