Okay, you probably heard of Senior Superlatives when you were in school, specially the US. You know, "Most Likely to Suceed", "Most Talkative", "Most likely to bite the head off a live chicken"....- No, wait- forget that one. Anyway, for fun, what tarot deck would get these distinctions in your deck yearbook? Here are the Catagories: Class Clown (What do you think was the funniest/quirkiest deck that came out this year?): Most Likely to Succeed? (What do you think is the new deck most likely to become a classic?): Homecoming Queen/King (The prettiest, or maybe snobbiest, deck): Most Talkative (Which deck this year seem to have the most/longest explainations to it): The Jock (Sporty deck- use your imagination): The Most Artistic: Couple of the Year (which two decks compliment each other best): Teacher of the Year (which deck was most influential to the class):

I like this idea, VG! Too bad I couldn't come up with votes for all the categories. This must mean that I should buy more decks! :D Class Clown: The re-issued Rock And Roll Tarot. Now here's a deck that feature more than 78 clowns... Most Likely to Succeed: Victoria Regina Tarot. Wow. 'Nuff said. Most Talkative: Have you seen the book for the Pythagorean Tarot? Nice deck, lots of great info in the book, but you might need to bring a 4-wheel dolly cart to lug that tome home. Most Artistic: Dante Tarot. I don't know jack about Dante, but man-oh-man, this one is gorgeous! I bet there'll be a lot of competition for this award, though... Teacher of the Year: Did the World Spirit come out last year? It seems like that's the only deck we talked about for at least six months. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's my 'carry-around' deck! ;) ) That and the Cosmic Tribe! Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

Class Clown (What do you think was the funniest/quirkiest deck that came out this year?): The Tarot of the Golden Dawn that became the Enchanted that became the Tarot of the Hidden Folk. Three name changes for a comedic take on Thoth is rather funny to me. Most Likely to Succeed? (What do you think is the new deck most likely to become a classic?): Valedictorian -- Victoria Regina. Correct and creative in most every way. Homecoming Queen/King (The prettiest, or maybe photogenic, deck): Tarot de Paris (J.Phillip Thomas) Most Talkative --- I modified this in my list to 'which seems to have the most to communicate' - World Spirit The Jock (Sporty deck- use your imagination): Quest Tarot. Lots of intersteller travel. The Hanged Man is almost transparent. The Most Artistic: Tarot of the Tsar---shiniest. May not be the most artistic Couple of the Year (which two decks compliment each other best): Etruscan and Olympus Etruscan seems to be a nice vase/pottery almost yin-oriented to me. She is decorating the walls and putting scenery on garden walls on themes of past triumphs. Olympus seems to be tales of battles and events, almost yang-oriented to me. He is conquering more territories and singing praise of past glories to spur the troops on or before the atheletic events. Teacher of the Year Visconti Gold 2002 with Book
