When I saw the numbers “86 47” in Toni Crowe’s recent post, I knew immediately what it was. You don’t have to live in Nevada for long before you hear some one was 86’d from a bar, a casino, or a brothel.

As for 47, I remember when Trump was #45 and Trevor Noah was hosting “The Daily Show.” In South Africa, 45 is slang for schlong.

Write your 86 47 entry in any genre: Satire, politics as usual, journalism, as a poem, song parody or a breaking news report.

This month’s judge is none other than Lizzie Lizard Brain, Queen of Quirk and Snarlcasm, who volunteered to be a judge for a D.C. Challenge. Her take downs of the Trumsk administration include over-the-top cartoon creations and a “South Park” meets “what could possibly go wrong?” narrative.

Here is one of her responses:

Some [vets] are also in the Nat’l Guard. Imagine being a vet in Nat’l Guard working for Veterans Admin. You get fired, attend a protest over it, and are called to help stop the protest you’re part of. A little nervous about how this plays out.
