Here's what I got with the recent Hand/Turkey project.

Definitely going to start calling it Türkiye before next November.

my client, Reese Brantmeier, who is suing the NCAA for trying to keep some college athletes out of college tennis just won the NCAA national championship:

Brantmeier recently had to turn down money she won at the U.S. Open to stay eligible for NCAA competition.

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
...
She's touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket

Gemini 3 fails the Ed Beach test. The correct answer is Diplomacy Phase of 3, not Turn 2, because Pope cannot grant the divorce until Diplomacy phase after marriage track has been advanced. The earliest THAT can happen is turn 2, meaning Pope's first chance to grant divorce is Diplomacy in Turn 3.

Fruti shaped is pretty vague. Pienapple? Kiwi? Banana? I mean once you include that last one, aren't most penises "fruit shaped" (albeit "deformed" changes things!)

in my work in athletes' rights, the number of "why should we pay them, they'll just blow it on [insert wasteful class/race-coded activity here]" comments is always amazing.

I need a few groups of playtesters for my climbing/shedding game "Skybirds" We've ironed out all/most of the coding bugs, so now I want to find some avid card players to run through the game a bunch for VP balancing tests.

Ping me if you have 1-3 friends you'd like to play cards with!

No, Microsoft Word, my game design friends are not going to be offended by calling low cards "crap cards" in a note about designing a card game.
