2008.02.01 52 Card Pick-up

I think I was 10 years old before I realized that the “game” called “52 Card Pick-up” wasn't trying to make any reference to small trucks. It was obvious that the game itself had nothing to do with them. Somebody would spray a deck of cards all over the floor, and the point of the game… was to pick them up. Any time the game came up I had these thoughts:

• This is a retarded game. Why am I playing it?
• Why on earth do they call it a “pickup” when there is clearly no pickup involved?
• Why am I playing this” again?

Yeah, turbo… it's because you're a sucker enough to pick up somebody else's mess, not because you get to drive around a little wannabe truck. Thanks for playing & come again!
