A good time was had by them what came to Pam's, and we got a surprising number of cards completed - for them what didn't come and want to be included, make one/two cards (9 copies each) and hand 'em over and you'll get the rest of the set. The "rules" are, apparently, that if you don't contribute, you don't get enny of the others, and "go fortune yourself." (Don't complain to me, I don't make the rules, talk to the BG.) You could ask Richard for card stock, or since many cards were made on different stock, why bother? Just make 'em 3" wide by 5.5" tall, include a number and name for the card, and illustrate it. That's all. BTW, there was significant straying from the original "rules," and only a few SANE folk sat down and created cards from scratch (or in one case, whilst scratching) - the rest were dirty cheaters and should feel real, real bad.
These are the numbers & names (& ahtists as far as I recall) of the cards finished at the meeting. (If you're making more cards, don't repeat numbers or names. Check with Richard to avoid dupage):
0. Unfortunate Fool (BW)
2. Bitch Goddess (BW)
III. [Athena] (MvN)
4. Dream (PA)
5. Magic (PA)
7. Knife (FvJ)
9. Boxer (LB)
10. Wheel of Fortune (MM)
17. The Nerd (RB)
18. Nose Tackle (RB)
21. World (MM)
They look wicked cool and neat and stuff, and one fortune was read. Some SANE member, who shall remain nameless, is destined to knife an owl-like Athena, then tackle an unfortunate fool, then awaken as if from a dream to go on the Wheel of Fortune and defeat a magical boxer, to be crowned the supreme bitch goddess of the world. Boy, isn't that just like every other generic fortune you ever read? To be conducive to good fortune telling, I think we need a few more cards. Maybe a task for next year, and every March meeting for another, say, 10 years.
The next meeting is slated for after school vacation, on Tuesday April 28, where we will hie to the wilds of Brookline and watch a DVD of the quite impressive Animation show recently shown at the MFA. Admission is free, but the charge for popcorn, Goobers and Chuckles will be, as usual, exorbitant. Perhaps we can sneak in snacks under our coats. More details as they become available.
As I've always said, you can pick your Nerd, and you can pick your Nose Tackle, but a Nerd can't go fishing in his Nose without a Tackle Box.
