Playing Trump.

No, I'm not getting political here (and rarely ever will), even with the big news today. My speculation is that it's a lie. A certain someone has been known to prevaricate before. I'm talking about "Trump" as in the Japanese term for playing cards. I often play cards on Friday nights so I'd love to get into a match with this table full of players.

These are the players in question though it’s difficult to discern their actual names.

The vampiric ブイイ (Buii from 旧ン連 = Former Soviet Union.) who is often portrayed phallically.

Here’s another picture to prove my point. 

I wouldn’t mind buying this if I see it at a reasonable price. 

(Those last two pics were scammed from the Net, not my book.)

In the lower right corner is a ケースマンテル (Kesmantle from Austria and I have no idea what it is).

バックベアード (Backbeard?? Some kind of strange spider-like eye from America.

Backbeard has quite the history with the Gegege gang as well. 

Your basic run of the mill ポルターガイスト (European Poltergeist).

Below him is a balding ピクラス (Pikras) from Latvia

I hope I win the pot legitimately, I don't think that this crowd takes too kindly to strangers cheating. 

Maybe if I were to wear this. (Thank you 100¥ shop.)

I have a video of this mask but am having difficulty uploading it (thank you "improved" Blogger.)

Woohoo! Success!

Today’s treat is a pack of Pocky, which I plan to send to a friend in Canada if I get around to it. 

Hey! You even get a cutout mask!

See ya tomorrow, I'm off to go play Trump...
