dethtron: Ok, I know I don’t like being photographed (due to my Amish heritage), but was there not a picture where my jeans and sweater don’t look like the same color?
Lauby: Oh no! Your secret identity! Now everyone will know what you looked like 6 years ago. And that you were a boring corporate drone. Actually, yeah... sorry about that.
dethtron: Well this isn’t exactly the first time my secret identity has been revealed on the blogosphere. The important thing is that nobody ever figures out that dethtron’s alter ego is Anal_Parsons_Project... oh shit.Uglyraincoat: I think the matching ensemble effect is quite flattering.
dethtron: well thanks. In honesty, though, that sweater didn’t exactly match those jeans until photoshop happened. Fashion tips aside, when it came to designing my own avatar it pretty much had to be a joke about me not being able to find my way out of retail management. For the record, six years later I’m stuck back in again.Uglyraincoat: Tapped?

Uglyraincoat: Me 1, rest of you 1. Six years on and I’m writing a dissertation that (in part) challenges the erasure of class politics in the study of nineteenth-century American literature. Also, I’ll be teaching Althusser to a lit theory class in the spring. What a magnificent mechanic for a burn deck, balanced just enough by the fact that it is a sorcery.
dethtron: 2 questions. 1) Why is this card not just red? 2) What does communism have to do with the story of fishmas?
Uglyraincoat: See: Zombie Elephant commentary.
Lauby: Weirdly enough, this card makes more sense in the set today now that the Neo-cons have spent so much time trying to summon the Ghost of McCarthy for Red Scare 2: Socialism.Uglyraincoat: Occupy Fishmas.

Lauby: I know it looks like we rip on Bernie a lot in these cards.
dethtron: probably because we do.
Lauby: And that’s exactly the intention. It’s not that we don’t love Bernie like a brother (which we do), it’s just that his decision making process is ENTIRELY suspect. So you often end up with the results of his decisions being made up of equal parts raw awesomeness and horrible tragedy. Kind of like when he caught an amazing catfish but decided that the guts were the kind of thing to keep in a plastic baggy in the beer cooler.
Uglyraincoat: (And the baggy had holes in it.) This card is very interesting and useful for its flexibility. If you direct it at your opponent, the “negative” effects become desirable and the “good” effects become a detriment. Truly reflects the contradiction at the heart of Bernie’s wise decisions.
dethtron: really all things consider, this card’s mechanic(s) and quote capture the spirit of Bern quite nicely.

Uglyraincoat: Flavorful text, my friend.
dethtron: so many puns it’s making my brain hurt.
lauby: I was gonna bash on this card for being a straight clone, but it turns out that it’s actually better than the Craw Wurm it’s based on. So, instead, I will point out how terrible the art I made for it is.
dethtron: I believe it is 1 better than the craw wurm to be precise.

dethtron: We totally had the idea for Dandan before there was a Dandan, so it’s cool that we stole the card for our own set.
Uglyraincoat: More like Abandoned Max.
Lauby: What’s in the bag? Critters.

Lauby: Why a dragon fish? You can’t actually catch them in a man made lake in central illinois. Beacuse fuck it, that’s why.
dethtron: it’s because it’s both.
