I’m not racist, I swear! (I have black friends!) Every Magic: The Gathering player knows that you tap the Plains cards for “white mana” to cast spells.
Truth be told, the spell I could really use right now is “Time Control”, which requires blue mana. After an unscheduled overnight detour in the Rockies, I’m running way behind schedule as I cross Kansas. Can I make it home in time to pick up my son from school tomorrow? Maybe with a Mesa Pegasus.
Oh the things I would have done to a Serra Angel. Sadly, I could never tap that, no matter how aggressive I was.
Every time I thought I had a Serra Angel, I really had a Hasran Ogress.
Also, check this out:
My teenage self would have lost his shit over that card. The original was enough to get my mind off of the game.
Keep,p on rockin’ in the free world.
If there is one thing a man should be, it is ‘on time’.
School tomorrow? It’s about 1,000 miles. You have two drivers. If you take turns sleeping, you should be able to do it if you don’t stop for the night.
Whoever does your scheduling sounds about as good at it as mine. Be at the customer that is 2 hours away from home at 7am, done. Then when you are done with that job, go to the next customer that is 200 miles away and make sure you get that job done as well. You have to be at a customer that is another 200 miles from there at 7am the next morning. Wisconsin, to Minnesota, to Illinois, to Iowa, to Indiana. I know you drive a lot of miles a year, but I assure you I do as many, just not in any exciting way.
I very much look forward to self driving cars if not for the long stretches of interstate alone in the midwest.
What’s that? I can get drunk as hell the night before, then I can get in my car, set the cruise control/ self driving whatever, and go back to sleep until I get to my destination? Sign me the hell up.
I can also add, in my opinion, crossing Kansas may be one of the worst drives there is in my experience. Barren fields and a cow every now and then. Other than that, nothing but highway in front of you. For many many hours.
The first time I made that trip I kept seeing the mile markers. Tried to time it so I would make sure to look the other way but I was unsuccessful 424 times.
Oh God are you right.
I used to play Tragic, but Wooz won all my good cards.
Does anyone ever wonder why it’s called ‘ flyover country ‘ ? .
Me , I don’t mind it too much , there’s always some secondary roads to seek out and people to meet , junkyards to find etc.

When I was a teen, we used to get together for epic hours of chicken wings and magic cards. It was glorious.
I know that stretch of I-70 all too well. God I hate western Kansas
Methinks you were thinking of Time *Walk*.

I’ll admit that I was thinking of the blue “time control” decks in general. Written from the mobile while
drivingsafely observing the road from the passenger seat!Also, +1 for the Hasran Ogress reference.
