He didn't say they had to be rhyming words, or each from a different country, or fish, or ANYTHING ELSE! I was trying to say that the more specific the theme, the poorer card choice you have, because you're working so hard to get cards that fit the THEME> And you're dead wrong about people not being able to agree on great cards. Look at the lists we've put up from time to time. Many of the same cards appear on most. And even if your Number 1 choice was only my number 3 or 4 choice, so what?

WHY DOES EVERYONE ALWAYS THINK I'M THE BAD GUY? I DIDN'T see getting good cards for any of those themes, so I said so. I diodn't put forth one single CARD, so how can you say it has to be, for me "cards that Julie Likes."

WHY ARE YOU ALL ALWAYS JUMPING DOWN MY THROAT WHEN MY IDEAS DON'T CORRESPOND TO YOURS?


Here's a general--but more specific--theme: World Series teams players from last year, 40 years ago, and over 100 years ago (maybe you'd have to stick to the 20th century to TECHNICALLY have a world series), but several years in the 1800s, two teams went at it pretty good at the end of the season, from the N.L. and the AA.

I just don't understand why you guys always think I'm trying to be nasty! O.K. Pick one of your WONDERFUL ideas, and come up with 5 or 6 WONDERFUL cards! Bet you can't!

Sorry--maybe I'm all wet. I'd love to see a good theme with good cards. It just seemed to me that we were straining too hard over the theme. More power to you if you can do it!
