Deck O’ Bloggers 2005 Self-Nomination
Aaron is taking nominations for bloggers to be in his deck of cards.
I think I should be a spade — to symbolize the shovel that I have to carry around to scoop up the mess left almost daily in the Los Angeles Dog Trainer (aka the Los Angeles Times).
So I nominate myself for the King of Spades card, though I’d be well satisfied with the Jack of Spades card as well.
P.S. I guess I should be asking you to nominate me for the King of Spades as well.
Patterico:
You ought to nominate me for the deuce!

Dafydd (f8a7be) — 11/5/2005 @ 2:45 pmMake your argument. Apparently, you get a bunch of points if you’re nominated by a Playful Primate, which (despite some slippage) I currently am. I’m happy to do it, just explain why the deuce you should get the deuce.

. . . you just don’t get any respect!
Common Sense Political Thought (819604) — 11/5/2005 @ 4:41 pmAaron is taking nominations, including self-nominations,
to be immortalized in your own Blogopoly-style playing card in a commemorative end-of-year blogger alter-ego meme: Deck O’ Bloggers 2005.
But,…
I’d much rather see Sister Toldjah on the deck of bloggers; she’s a lot better looking than Patterico!

Inspired by Hugh Hewitt’s lamenting the absense of Hallmark Cards for bloggers and anticipating the receipt of cease and desist letters due to violating trademarks for well-known games, I…

First, a venomous serpent has a head shaped like a spade.
Second, the deuce is the lowest of the low… as are we belly-crawling snakes in the grass!
Third, the two is a very dangerous card, because you don’t think of it being worth anything — but if it’s part of a full house, it’ll beat anything but four of a kind or a straight flush. Just like Big Lizards… we may be overlooked, but we sneak in a bite or two when nobody is looking.
Why do you want to be the King of Spades?

Dafydd (f8a7be) — 11/5/2005 @ 11:30 pmDon’t sell yourself short! I know Powertools and Malkin probably have the two Jokers sewn up, but there’s always hope!
Is there a “dunce of Spades” card? That Sister Toldjah person would be a shoe-in!
Frank Gorshin (5c9b64) — 11/6/2005 @ 12:18 amExcellent argument, Dafydd. I’ll nominate you.
Why do you want to be the King of Spades?
Like the big-screen TV salesman says: I am the King!

You’re asking to be banned.

You strike me as more of a Joker.
