I guess I shouldn't complain since I won cotw once maybe once on the old boards, but I'd rather win for a card than a pun.

damn it I know Mown was making fun of me but I actually think that card is neat. I probably wouldn't nominate it but it's not bad.

there are so many ways I can respond to that I am actually suffering from analysis paralysis. I don't know whether I should insinuate that you are a serial killer or a fetch.

I do try to make good cards you know. How could I prove my point if nobody nominated it? (Honestly I'm kind of impressed with myself for being able to tie together the flavor kind of reasonably.)
