Commentary:

Danny: I thought I was being clever making this card, but once I played it, I found that I was by far the most victimized by it. It was quite a sobering experience.

Tomek: Oh boy, you can’t swear when playing the game now? Sounds like fun! Maybe when we’re all done we can go hang ourselves?

Danny: This is quite possibly the happiest card any of us has ever made. It disgusts me. It is the only card I refuse to play on myself out of sheer contempt. Alex truly is an insidious man.

Tomek: If Maddox keels over in a forest, does anyone care?

Danny: This is one of those cards made out of extreme spite towards another player. Needless to say it payed off. Benzene and I were both pleased.

Tomek: I would get this card right if I stopped half-gluteus-maximizing my work.

Commentary:

Danny: I would link to every card Tomek has made that follows this formula, but I have a 2,000 word maximum for my commentary. Tomek sticks to the tried and true method of card creation more times than not. He starts it off with a title ending in “Card,” hastily scribbles a drawing, adds some random words, quotes, and arrows, then finally puts the point effect at the bottom. Don’t misinterpret this as caustic criticism, however.  Some of Tomek’s best creations have been spawned from this template.

Tomek: I do have something to say. This is a card done by my fellow colleague who does not understand the very deep and thought-provoking effectiveness of my cards. He is a critic with no reputation. A critic who does not understand and has no experience in the field of experimental card making or years of studying philosophy to understand the deep bondage between the metaphysical overtones of my cards and life and reason around us. He is merely a man who lives his life by a series of disconnected and pointless vignettes. He gets satisfaction in life by cheap thrills that temporarily give him manufactured happiness. It is a happiness that applies to only the people of the lowest common denominator. Look back at the card now. Is it a smart satire of my card-making? Does the card still inspire you with my colleague’s supposed use of wit and humor to criticize my art? Now you see. It is graphic. It is vulgar. It is worthless. 

Alex: A Classic Tomek Commentary: Assert superiority over friends, then pretend what he does has artistic merit, then go on about a history of something that doesn’t exist, then reassert superiority, then reassert artistic merit, then use rhetoric he just learned that week from his English class.

Danny: When first finding this playing of Cat Planet, I stared in a content trance for both of its installments. There is no reason for me to love it as much as I do, but I love it incredibly. My only gripe is that this card detracts points instead of adding them. There is no detracting point in either of the videos. 

Tomek: cat planet cat planet cat planet cat planet cat planet…

Alex: I watched this video for 40 minutes. It is a good video.

Danny: This drawing is so fantastic. Compared to Tomek’s usual haphazard drawing style and scribbles, this card screams simplicity and the perspective is near perfect. This card is almost worth the $30 Tomek paid for the actual tie clip.

Tomek: Somebody smart or maybe stupid once said: “Always accessorize!” Well, that does not apply here, because this is not an accessory but rather a necessity. It’s like wearing shoes without the shoes or wearing pants without the pants. Get it? When you wear a tie, you wear a tie clip. It prevents ties from flapping around and wearing it is the classiest thing you can do besides donating a Ferrari to every orphaned child in the world. Interesting fact: when your tie material matches your suit material, you automatically get knighted by the Queen of England.  

Alex: Everyone knows tie clips were invented by Men’s Wearhouse for the sole purpose of increasing sales. If you actually want to keep your tie fastened to your shirt, use a paper clip. It’s just as effective and can easily be hidden.

Danny: To be honest I’m not sure which would be the greater torture; having yourself and all of mankind the eternal slave of giraffekind, or the only method of proctology being a rusty sword in the ass.

Tomek: This song is stupid, listen to the original. 

Alex: This drawing may look crude, but I was honestly impressed with how it turned out. What you see there may be the best giraffe I’ve ever drawn. There’s a reason not a lot of my cards show up here.

Commentary:

Alex: Normally, I’d never admit to being gay, but I don’t know, man. 200 points is a lot.

Danny: Some of you may see this card and think to yourself that it discriminates against gays. Some of you may even believe it discriminates against straights, but the truth cannot be stowed away in a closet somewhere.  This card demeans the world’s humble closet-dwellers. Not only does it imply being in the closet is bad, it also forces you to vacate or otherwise lose 200 points. Now to the rich, dresser-dweller, that doesn’t know the hardships of a closet, this may seem like no big deal. For those condemned to a life in the closet, however, 200 points can mean the difference between life and death.

Tomek: I wonder if this closet has “stepped out of the closet” so to speak. I can visualize it already: on the outside it as an old cherry wood finish from before the war, but on the inside there is a disco ball, flamboyant colors on ribbons,The Village People playing 24/7, and the aroma of Richard Simmons. You see, this closet was a “closeted gay closet” all his life. He married, had drawers, and eventually grew up to be an old and proud grandfather closet. It’s time we start questioning why people “step out of the closet”. If it was that closet, then I would have sure as hell stepped out quite a while ago.

Commentary:

Alex: A lesser known alternative swaps the tea for coffee and changes the ratio to 3/4ths cream, 1/8th coffee, and 1/8th milk. This obscure concoction is sometimes referred to as the Starbucks Frappucino.

Danny: As good as this concoction is, nothing will ever top club soda. Golfers make the best drinks.

Tomek: I have already discussed how tea should be drink, drank, and drunk in a previous card, now it is time to criticize this obscene concoction. What the hell is this? Tea, milk, and cream? Tea and milk is one thing, why add cream as well? Also, watch out for your order of operations on this baby; you don’t want to be please excusing your dear Aunt Sally to go vomit out your liver. This is a dangerous mix in the least if you mix up your “halves” and for example start square rooting your amount of tea and squaring the amount of milk. It’s disgusting. This is pure blasphemy in the church of Arnold Palmer.

Commentary:

Danny: Every day Alex would mysteriously disappear, completely unannounced. We would all worry for his life, sweating over what could have possibly been the reason for his sudden departure. Then, Alex would return, diet soda in hand, as we all shook our heads in disappointment. Addiction is truly a powerful force.

Alex: I used to have one of these every day. Sometimes, if the machine was taking too long, I’d pound it until a drink came out. Once, it took my money but didn’t give me my daily diet soda. I tipped it over in unbridled rage, and it broke the leg of the girl behind me. However, after becoming part of AA (Aspartame Anonymous), I am glad to say that I have not indulged in Fanta Zero in 4 months, and that I can now put my shameful addiction in the past.

Tomek: SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. I DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS GAME. OR THIS COMMENTARY. I JUST WANT MY FANTA/SPRITE ZERO. GIVE IT TO ME NOW. TAKE MY WATCH. TAKE MY FAMILY. JUST GIVE ME THE STUFF. OH GOD! YES! OH S*** THAT FEELS GOOD. OH FEEL THE ASPARTAME RUSH DOWN MY THROAT. YES! YES! YES! OH GOD GIVE ME MORE. MY SOUL? SURE! YEAH. I GOT SOME NEEDLES IN THE DRAWER. JUST PUMP IT INTO MY BLOOD. STRAIGHT IN THERE. OH GOD…….yes. i am happy now.

Commentary:

Alex: Tomek successfully curbed the onslaught of butt cards being made with this. I think he lost 800 points for making it though.

Danny: The loss of 800 points was a noble sacrifice indeed. In creating this card, Tomek culled the torrent of butt cards that flowed from the pen of Steve. A menace was stopped in its tracks that day. It is truly unfortunate it was at such a cost.

Tomek: I cannot help but allude to Walt Whitman’s O Captain! My Captain! I still remember everyone cheering for the success of removing all cards of anus reference. There were parades, festivals and even statues named in my honor. My pen was worn out from the battles I fought, and yet it was a day for rejoicing! Everyone was ready to hear my speech. A speech of how I conquered Steve’s onslaught of butt cards filled with magnificent imagery and emotion backed with tears and painful memories! Such a magnificent day, and yet Danny and Alex knew that by their side I was lying on the ground with a loss of 800 points. There their captain rested, fallen cold and dead.
