The Eighth Day of Fishmas

Lauby:  Here’s a nod to the bane of camper’s everywhere.  The raccoons that hung around out campsite were particularly well fed since even if you’re a classy drunk, you’re still a drunk.  I guess what I’m saying is that properly storing your food is not likely to happen.  And then all your paella and port are gone.
Uglyraincoat:  However, they are extra cuddly in case you forget your pillow.  
dethtron:  judging by the sacrifice ability on this card, those are some bloodthirsty raccoons.


Lauby:  Fun fact, the picture for this card is actually a shot of the production process for the chum we mentioned earlier in the series.  NOW you can be afraid to ask about the back story, dethtron.
Uglyraincoat: We employed the “no shirts” spell in real life, scaring off a huge mobile home from taking the spot next to us.  “This” our naked torsos proudly proclaimed “is what you are choosing if you park your family here.”  
dethtron:  well it’s probably for the best that I wasn’t there that year, then.  My sheer animal sexuality might have brought the mobile home back.
Uglyraincoat:  Animal sexuality, another underused game concept.

Uglyraincoat: How is this Laub’s card?  How did we not do a better job in design, such as including some very convoluted system of sunburn counters?  How?!?  ANSWER ME!!!
Lauby:  Yeah, that’s a really good point.  We could have done so much with this card.  Though on any level, it’s hard to do much when the IRL story you’re trying to create rules for revolves around “gets sunburn ridiculously easy and is fully prepared to look like an idiot to avoid it”.
dethtron:  could have been creature type “Germanic honky” perhaps.
Uglyraincoat: Germanic Honky Wizzard, which counts as a Wizard 
dethtron:  why is this whiskey not made any more?  Willie, lay off the Sensi and get back to putting your name on high quality, affordable hooch.
Lauby:  That was some great hooch. I can actually remember grabbing the last bottle of the stuff at the liquor store - covered in dust and buried behind something else.  If we were doing a competition for ‘most nostalgia represented by a single card”, this would be my pick.  
Uglyraincoat:  I don’t get it.  There are tons of great, cheap whiskeys available that in no way contribute to the vast fortune of Willie Nelson.  
dethtron:  but do those whiskeys come with a piece of bandanna and guitar pick?  No, didn’t think so.
Uglyraincoat: Might I direct your attention to the fact that I saved Laub the burden (and bragging rights) of doing all of the card art by his lonesome?  I win again!
Lauby: the burden thing can’t be overstated.  I was pretty close to drowning in all the work I had to do to get the art ready and even the small things like Uglyraincoat banging out a good representation of our recurring crow problem was a lifeline.
dethtron:  might I direct everyone’s attention to the fact that a clear opportunity for some truly lewd antics was missed in connecting this card’s name to its mechanics.  The peeping ability would have been priceless.  Mind you I have no idea what the peeping ability is, but you can rest assured that it’s fucking priceless because I said so.

Uglyraincoat: Much more impressive than a Pick ‘em up El Camino.
dethtron:  does this card encourage drunk driving?  It’s kind of making me want to jump my car off of some shit while totally housed to be honest.
Lauby:  Hmmm... yeah. This is probably the most irresponsible bit of card design in the set.  And not just because we’re suggesting driving while playing a version of M:tG that relies on drinking, but also because it turns out that on our plane, you can drive two or more trucks at the same.  
dethtron:  I’ve got two feet, don’t I?
