stray thought

i heard something the other day about a parody of the bush/iraq card deck done by the russians. the deck has the members of bush's cabinet or some such. the part which intrigues me is this deck is only 36 cards, as that is the size of the standard russian card deck. fascinating, captain. must find info on russian card games and obtain a deck if possible.

in any case, shades of sheepshead with it's 32 cards. i love card games and once i know the rules, the whole language barrier becomes a non-issue.
