EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.
Uhm...ergh...*brain fizzles out* Sorry, this simply does not compute. The only possible explanation I can think of was that this guy had his Race Card all ready to play in advance (meaning, he was gonna play it no matter what, and probably has done so quite often in the past), but he could not find anything you did worthy of playing it against...And then he played it anyway. What a dick.

So what card is the Race Card anyway? Is it one of the Jacks because depending on what the suit is, those trump other cards. Or maybe it is an Ace...pretty powerful but not all powerful. Or maybe a king....still pretty powerful but there are cards that will beat it. Or maybe the queen....if you have one of the jacks, you might consider making the call hoping that your partner can help you....Maybe it is the 10 or 9....only the gutsiest make calls with those.....but those are a good way to give your opponents two points.
I'm thinking it's the Jackass of Clubs. Those who use it seem to prefer wielding it like a blunt-force object, anyway.

There's also lug nuts, lock nuts, cap nuts, hex nuts, square nuts, speed nuts, etc.
Let's not forget a slang term (I believe it's military in origin) for the collection of fasteners holding the rotor blades of a helicopter onto the shaft: the Jesus nut. Probable derivation - if for some reason it comes loose, guess who you'll be meeting.
Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
