Its too hard if I have to DL a Sporcle app first.

How do they get the meat in a ravioli?

Wow. Just wow. That playmat is an instant "Hell yes" from me. Lovin it.

I'm also on the 'Lily Veil in M15' bandwagon. *fingers crossed*

128. I'm no longer allowed to take naps on the tables between matches.
They don't seem to mind if I doze off during the match tho... I never win those games.

Jace: The gorgon tried to drown in Garruks Aethermeister...
Ajani: Well that was dumb. Ish. Can I get some of that, Beastman?
Garruk: Look who's talkin... *slaps Ajanis back* ...I'm jus kiddin dawg... uh. Cat. Dood. Guy.
Tamiyo: So what are we doin about the gorgon sprawled across the floor? Her tentacles are getting stepped on.
Chandra: *snaps fingers**a small flame erupts on Vraskas asscheek* Maybe that'll wake her up...
*Vraska bolts upright, stumble-runs out the door* *everyone bursts out laughing*
Nissa: That was kinda rude. Funny. But rude...
Lily: Hey, where did Vraska go?
Venser: Where did you go?
Lily: ...says the teleporter...
Sorin: Maybe she's goin to hang out with Tibalt. And turn him into stone...
Jace: Hey, where's Elspeth? Didn't you invite her? She's cute...
Tamiyo: Her and Koth are out playing with Phyrexians as usual... she's pretty uptight anyway.
Venser: Tell me about it...*rolls eyes* Apparently you'd have better luck with the necromancer...
Jace: Been there. Done that. *yawn*
Lily: *tap-slaps Jace in the back of the head* Oh hush... you know you love me...
Nissa: We should play a game!
Ajani: *with a slight kitty sneer* How about some 'poker'? *winkwink*
Venser: Is that what the kids are callin it these days?

In my defense (not that I really need to be defensive) I didn't really say 'best'...
I used the term 'jaw dropping' cuz that's actually what I do when I see some of this stuff, haha...

Also, I don't feel that signed ABUR (or any other) cards are a crime at all, I think it just adds a level of unique to the card and it seems cool to me that the artist has actually handled the card at some point. I'm quite fond of my artist signed cards, which is actually what I would like to post in here (if i can figure out how to do properly), as I think these particular ones are very unique, and one of the prizes of my collection.

For me personally, I'm just too scientifically minded... I don't have the capacity for 'blind faith'.
I believe in facts, proof, and even 'plausible believability' (which I find the idea of a god not very plausible at all), and have actually been called a 'narrow-minded moron' by religeous believers for saying this very thing.
Strikes me as very hypocritical.
Also, I simply don't agree with the mindset of 'if you're not one of us, you're wrong...' of course, that mindset doesn't sum up all believers, more so extremists and fanatics that bash non-believers like myself.
I also don't agree with religious families forcing it on their children, as young kids don't have the capacity or the option of saying "no, I don't think that's right" because they've been told that religion is the only way of life.

On a side note, I can see this thread becoming a bashfest, but I'll post this against my better judgement anyway...

112. For some reason people don't like you showing up at a Pauper tourney in a Lamborghini...
Even after you explain that your priorities are perfectly in order... I spent all my money on the car.

So I'm sittin at the table last nite playing my Pauper decks
against each other when I mindlessly ask my girlfriend out of nowhere...

"Hey, you wanna play with me?"
"You can play with Junk and I'll play RUG Diver ...uh... Delver. I mean RUG Delver."

We got a good chuckle out of that one...

I hope it bursts soon. I am a bit sick of all the new players, speculation, price spikes. I am sick of new cards being pushed for a mass market and cards designed for "fun factor"; thus, some effects and strategies always get the short end of the stick which is complete bullocks. I hope for an exodus.

Note: You're the first one that's made the connection to my screen name and avatar. A+

Really?!?! That seems crazy! Just because of that, I'm going to make this post NBK related....

Unlike Mallory, who was born bad, Mickey only achieved his badness after years of hard work and dedication, culminating in his graduating summa *** laude from the Manson Institute of Lower Learning.

Awesome. Love those Sol Rings and YawgWills.
Regarding the Meddeling Mage, have you ever had a card signed by Nottsuo?
Or Hideakai Takemura for that matter? Seems really rare that they sign, but I'm not sure of course...
I'd love to have my set of Blizzard Specter s signed for some strange reason.

Are there actually any artist sigs that you don't have at least one of?

There are several dozen artist where I have not a single signed card...Just thinking about Portal 3 Kingdom makes me just sad

I do have 1 Nottsuo card (The White Dragon from COK) and from Hideaki Takamura I have 9 cards (just 1 Blizzard sorry) but I traded all of those. I am not in contact with them



And here is a goody it's a small preview of the signed Alpha set. As soon as the last one arrives (Contract from Below) I will post the whole thing:

Mickey Knox once tried to recreate the greatest love story, "Natural Born Killers", ever told irl; until he was grounded for stealing and playing with his sisters dolls.

Here is a side project of mine...One that will never be finished (as long as WOTC produce new ones).

I hope you like it

Mickey Knox once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

It's clearly going to beef jerky in every booster. They were going to go with bubblegum, but wanted some brand identity.

Christianity doesn't do it for me for so many reasons. One big reason is that there aren't any new teachings. If a religion were genuine then it seems like the deity wouldn't just stop sending down messages. The lack of recent revelations and universally recognized prophets leads me to conclude that the god of the Christians doesn't exist. Pretty much every religion suffers from this though so I'm not trying to single Christianity out.

Another big reason I'm not being a Christian is that it hasn't added much in the way of social good. I know people are going to say that churches are some of the biggest charities and were often patrons of science but that's glossing over the truth. The truth is that churches needed to be charitable given how much tithing hurt poor believers and how much the wars they fought on behalf of their own greed cost everyone in human coin. The church might have funded a lot of scientific research but the cost was that none of it could contradict the Bible or church doctrine. Later on Christianity was used as a way to justify slavery so Europeans could rest easy at night and so that slaves would be pacified and accept their enslavement as the will of God.

Lastly, I think Christianity has made people more ignorant. When I hear news reports of people refusing lifesaving medical treatment because they're waiting for the direct intervention of God or of parents not vaccinating because they feel prayer is a better shield against measles I cringe. If you know something will save your life but choose to turn your back on it why would your deity save you? What if that chemo was God's way of curing your cancer? Then there's the matter of creationism. It's just plain wrong and yet there is a generation of children being raised to accept it as fact. I'm honestly afraid for the day these kids come into the leadership of the US because the very basis of their education is faulty.

I just think that given the situation we're all in now, God's abilities and traits have been greatly exaggerated. I personally think he stopped caring after a certain point which is fair to me. I also tend to not like the Christian people not because some of them are crazy (that does contribute though) but because most of them don't think rationally when it comes to God and Jesus which is disconcerting for me.
