Ernesto Ariel Suárez म्हणाले...: They threw some Cossacks in there too. Maybe because Cossacks are mostly, well, Ukrainian. Awesome technique though.

Asante Samuel म्हणाले...: It's true, they are an attractive alternative to the tired and stale face cards.

But might I suggest that the Wisconsin Band might also make a nice deck, a deck with 300 jokers.; ४/१०/०८, ११:०२ AM

These cartoons explain a lot about the mental state of Cubans my age...hehehe..; ४/१०/०८, १२:३४ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: The card design makes it hard to see, but the guy is wearing shorts.; ४/१०/०८, १:०१ PM
The Drill SGT म्हणाले...: For reference, I think that guy is a Hungarian Hussar complete with Dolman and Pelisse. Hungarian Hussars being a class of Ukrainian bogeyman

Oh yes, these will definitely be a DTL favorite. I'm sure he's already ordering them as we speak.; ४/१०/०८, १:५५ PM

dbp म्हणाले...: Last night there was an episode of "How It's Made" which has a section on the mfg of playing cards. They showed cards from different countries in part of that section. Did this inspire our hostess? or pure chance?; ४/१०/०८, ३:२२ PM
Sprezzatura म्हणाले...: How about Hebrew?

Yesterday I saw a Hebrew BHO sticker in my hood.

Full disclosure; my hood is packed with a lot of different BHO stickers and yard signs (including my own "Republicans for Obama" sticker.)

Maybe I should gather the neighbors so we can load up on lattes and create an ode to BHO.

Or, maybe that's already been done enough.; ४/१०/०८, ३:४६ PM
Tom Nally म्हणाले...: The card is the dreaded "B" of Spades.

I HATE it when that card comes up.

XWL म्हणाले...: I'd rather go with this Piatnik Glorious America set.

Piatnik is an Austrian company and they make all sorts of luxury and specialty cards (click on the luxury cards button to the left, can't direct link).

(I also have the Japanese and Rococo sets, myself)

(you can never have too many sets of fancy cards); ४/१०/०८, ५:१५ PM
