From: Sparkey450@aol.com Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 4:16 PM To: Cardtips@pojo.com Subject: A challenge for those looking for one-Sparkey450 Sparkey: Hello again. Charizard and I are back again with an interesting(or insane, as some have called it) challenge that may make the game more interesting. Charizard: We've actually been debating about sending this idea to pojo for some time. Sparkey: Right. Anyway the challenge is to build a deck using 10 or less trainers, and no rares may be used. It may sound impossible, but it's not. This challenge is actually fun. Charizard: Try using some of the old and forgotten cards that never see the light of day. Jungle Fearow, for example, is an excellent card. You can stall with Agility untill you can KO with drill peck. It also has a free retreat, which is very nice to have. Sparkey: The basic idea of this challenge is to make you build a deck focussed around pokemon as opposed to trainers. Charizard: Some of the Neo3 commons and uncommons look cool. Sparkey: Right. Anyway... I've been looking at some of Spike's old articles, and man! Those are a laugh riot. Shame he decided to retire. I miss those random thoughts so much I think I'll do some myself. I would like opinions on them. Ok, here goes: SPARKEY'S RANDOM THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I can't beleive how many people don't even know there is more than one use for moist towellettes! Heck, in my spare time, I've come up with 8 pages of new uses for them. I'll list a couple of my favorites: 1.) Put them in water balloons so that when people get hit by them, they will smell lemon fresh. 2.) Make raincoats out of them so your cows don't shrink in the rain 3.) Mix them with jell-o for a new, no calorie pudding snack 4.) Draw a dog face on them and tell your teacher it ate your homework 5.) Scare away evil cheerleaders from the 12th dimension with them. That's all for now. Email me (and Charizard, should you want to talk to him for some unknown reason) at Sparkey450@aol.com.
