I enjoy simple things. An excerpt of that list contains: playing cards, hanging out with friends and, you've might have guessed it, sunrises.
This deck will not make that list.

what are your feelings on piña coladas and getting caught in the rain

Good rum always neat but some cocoa and pineapple juice sure helps to make shite like Bacardi consumable.

Where is Capra aegagrus when you need him?

Why, WHY?!
Just No.

The absolute horror.
Bacardi is never consumable!
Tastes like adhesive bandages. Used ones.
(How do I know? I drank some once. Now I'm bald!)

I don't think he's listened to Escape lately. Just sayin.

I wrote consumable (as in not deadly), I never claimed it will be a pleasure .

So, I'm sorry, but I can't pass up mentioning that Solace is a homonym for Soulless.

Excuse you. In my day homonyms had to be pronounced and spelled the same. None of this loosey-goosey "a homonym is just, like, a state of mind, man" New Age degeneracy being peddled to Our Impressionable Youths by Big Wiki. This is why we can't have nice things. [ruffles neckbeard aggressively]

(Also, did you learn "solace" from the Beeb or British audiobooks? I think most Americans pronounce it the other way.)

Huh, interesting that he would make the claim " Normally only the Ace of Spades is given a separate design. However this is not any other decks. All four Aces are uniquely customized and designed in their respective color."

The aces are actually MPC standard aces. Not quite true, but the implication is that the aces were custom designed by them , instead of the fact that they are MPC standards. Anyway, the funding's cancelled.

So, you went to Wikipedia, discovered I was correct, and decided to write that off as some new-fangled approach to the definition of the word? That's fine. Although, I'll also note that Dictionary.com also agrees with my usage. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/homonym?s=t

Nonetheless, I'll happily use the word homophone instead, as you'd prefer.

Regarding pronunciation of the word "solace:" true story, I was raised on the US / Canadian border, and I grew up listening to the radio stations broadcasting from both Buffalo and Toronto, so yeah, I picked up my language preferences from both sides of the border. Still, solace and console are derived from the same root word, so THERE.

Also: GET OFF MY LAWN!

I gotta be honest, guys. I took a dump about 5 minutes ago. The toilet paper aftermath looked more appealing as a design than this deck does.
