This is just an idea for a game. What was going on 1 hour before stepping into the picture? Any ideas?( Any Card you like to choose.) The Fool One hour before I think he could have been hanging out with the 10 of cups having a party & left, got lost & found himself on a cliff not knowing where he was. Or He has achieved something & he is caught up with himself& the situation & doesn't realize he is about to step over the cliff.

So that's why Pamela Colman Smith added the cliff to the image... There he was, having passed through town, and been humbly and cordially invited, as tramps are wont to do, to have a short meal of bread and cheese at Cliff's house. Just before getting there, he had had a long waite with chat - or is that a long chat with waite... 'I'm going over to Cliff' he had said! How history manages to alter on words but spoken once :)

one hour before.... the lion had swallowed the womans baby in the strength card ( R.W.), she had to be very careful not to anger the lion so that she could get the baby out in one piece and...... alive..... !

One hour before, the man in the Ten of Swords told his drinking buddies, "Hey, guys, how about a change of plans tonight? Instead of seeing Terminator 3, let's go see that romantic comedy with Meg Ryan in it." Bob :THERM

LOL, Bob! I think I'd stab someone if they wanted me to watch Meg Ryan. ;) One hour before... It was night, and then the Sun arose to banish the dark and welcome the new day. (And a rather pushy mother decided her baby should take riding lessons, even though he couldn't walk).

Jewel-ry	02 Jan 2004
One hour before ... Judgement was playing her trumpet at a charity do for the local red cross band. J :)

what an awesome idea! one hour before.... 6 of swords all hell broke loose when some random person stabbed swords through the bottom of a familie's boat while they were out in the middle of the lake, away from land. they now are paddling fast to get back to land before the pierced holes in the boat make it leak.. and they drown

one hour ago (5 of swords)... 3 guys were having a nice little sword fite until the one in green got greedy and wants all the swords to himself... he thought up a plan to easily get the other people's swords... you see, he had just eaten some cabbage and some turnip and beans..... so he repelled the others and they are now gasping for air.. heheheeh

Simone	03 Jan 2004
The Chariot One hour before, he was chasing after his beasts which absolutely had no intention of being harnessed... victory! :D

(RWS) One hour ago, the King of Pentacles decided to take a nap in the garden. The royal gardener, who hated the king, planted Kudzu at the foot of the throne. Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, this was the throne in which sat the King of Pentacles. The gardener comes to inspect his handiwork, thinking that the kudzu had done a wonderful job of offing the King. At last, the Queen was his! Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the King of Pentacles was still alive. The Queen holds a Pentacle that says, "Be my Valentine. Ooo Baby! Signed, The Royal Gardener." Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the murderous gardener had slipped kudzu into the Knight of Pentacle's helmet, and into the bridle of his fat horse. The Knight holds a Pentacle that says "I capped your daddy and I'm gonna marry your momma. Love, the Royal Gardener." Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the Knight of Swords had heard of a wicked plot to murder the King of Pentacles. Would he make it to the palace in time to warn him? Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the Page of Pentacles received a strange Pentacle. Now he tries to figure out what it means. On the back is written, "I know something you don't know. Ha Ha! R.G." Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the Royal Pentacle Maker had been enjoying peace and quiet. Now he keeps getting strange requests from the Royal Gardener for rude messages to be engraved on Pentacles. Oh, well, as long as he paid for the work.... Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the Guiding Spirit of the Pentacles received a strange Pentacle. It says, "Pretty soon there's only going to be three tarot suits. Mwaa Haa Haa!" Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the market for Pentacles had been stagnant. Now everybody wanted them! Cletus decided to hold onto his until the price went higher. Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, this had been a poor family. All that they owned in the world was ten Pentacles. Now they're rich! Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, these people had no Pentacles. They still have no pentacles. Oh, well, that's life in a capitalist society; shoulda voted Democrat. Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, Goober was a stonecutter. Now he carves pentacles into the sides of buildings. Go figure. Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, the Royal Gardener sent his father packets of kudzu seeds. "Distribute these to all the peasants in the kingdom, Father," he wrote. "You won't regret it." Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, Deke was an object of ridicule. Now, due to wise investment in Pentacles, he can afford a new wardrobe, and even a hat to cover his penis-shaped head. Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, Helen dispatched a carrier pigeon to find out the latest news about the Pentacles futures market. Looks like her answer is here.... Bob :THERM

Le_Corsair	05 Jan 2004
One hour before, Barbara Jean received the news: the King of Pentacles had been murdered (bad), and the market for Pentacles had crashed (terrible). Barbara Jean knew that she should have diversified her portfolio, but sometimes ya just have to roll the dice..... now she looks forward to the rest of her days on Social Security, and Alpo. Bob :THERM
