The De-Enabling Thread

Here a fan of boldly coloured cards. But I also found that wild colours do peel off in attraction soon if that is only what the cards have to offer. The Glastonbury tarot seems to me to be such a deck. Wild colours, hardly any interesting details, no symbolism (or weird symbolism), Debra is right, best you imagine one of the pictures as a screensaver for days. And then let us know what you decide.

Too big cards, too flimsy cardstock, too full of Hobbit feet. Does that help?

OK guys do your worst...the Glastonbury! I've always been so in love with this one...and I found it on ebay. $30 I don't have and I'm sure it will go higher...but I'm soo tempted to bid, and I know I won't be able to stop!! Please help!! Emergency! Emergency! *red lights flashing and sirens wailing*

OK - two things.

I confess, it isn't one of my very favourites.

BUT anyway - forget it. It will go for HEAPS. Save yourself the pain and stress (says she who has just seen one she REALLY wants on ebay. De-enabling not required ! Just send money.....)

I was sorely tempted by the Glastonbury too, but for the artwork is very uninspiring for a theme that could be great. Also, I've heard that the card finish is very sticky.

And, the crowning achievement --- "vesicas". As in bladders. Urinary or gall, take your pick. "Aaaah, the Queen of Vesicas. I see much bladder control in your future. Throw away your Depends and stay away from Scorpios."

Ha ha ha!! Oh I rolled on the floor laughing after this...I will never be able to look at the Glastonbury the same way, lol. Good job, Apocalipstick

Dwaas + jackdaw - Yes, that's what I love as well, the colors..it's just so pretty...but you're probably right to say that there isn't that much symbolism. I've used the cards online before, and, I guess, you're right. Not THAT inspiring. It's just...oh...the colors!! But sticky backs? Hmm..

gregory - yes, there is NO way I can afford it...and I suppose that is enough to put me off...maybe...

Though you guys did a very good job...I might try the screensaver bit as well and see how that goes

Ha ha ha! *walks away, still laughing at the Queen of Bladders*

MysticalMoose. Stay away, stay far away. Better yet, run! Yuck. Huge cards, much too clumsy. Impossible to shuffle. And....how to put this tactfully...well...the characters on these cards are a bit "special," aren't they? Looks like their faces got smashed in a bit by those big sticks they are lumbering around with.

And they smell funny. I'm serious! Did this help? I might have to go get out my cards if it's a real emergency, and then bring out the big guns.

Not half as funny (=VILE) as the new card sized Lunatic, if anyone needs de-enabling from that. I have had it in a box with dryer sheets for weeks and it still reeks.

greggers, what are you doing up at this hour? You're supposed to be safely tucked in bed quite a while back....or have you sneaked off to Canada again?
Insomnia?
