two(more)500ths (... yes, and MC HAMMERSTEIN) ... ( ... (...alas))

dear reader, i do not really have one thousand (formerly) blank white cards, but i have quite a few (and there must be hundreds more lovingly cached in drawers or storage units by those i've played against).  i post these in salute of the marking of another orbit of the sun achieved by that dear distant benefactor or benefactress who sent those blank white cards last month.

recently, i have received more (formerly) blank white cards from a dear distant benefactor or benefactress (hello, dear distant benefactor or benefactress!), an umami reminder of glory days shared and energies squandered in our more dissolute past youth.

these were actually used in live gameplay! so chilling, and exciting.

here they are:

sometimes the game
of 1000 blank white cards
is akin to an anarchists' uno
except for the consensus
(game learners are wont
to want to know the rules)
understanding that the
well-formed, which is to say
playable, card must have
an image, some words, and
a point value (or game effect),
which tends to subvert
all that anarch ethos

everything is void

appropriate verbal gestures

when people spend a good deal of time together because they enjoy pursuing their common interests in company with kindred souls, a special bond may form, a warmth that can only be expressed in the barest economy of words.

and, once one is attuned, the horizons are indeed broad and promising.

this is not the mayonnaise*

1000 blank white cards

i have some blank white cards
not nearly a thousand though

they aren't blank or white either
just a portion of several decks'

generation cards that started
blank and white and were used

in the game (which use involves
becoming marked in certain ways

that leave a card neither white
nor blank, but a blank white card

nonetheless) copied and given
unto my care for future seeding.

this one, if you recall your robert
lewis stevenson, is an ill omen.
