what.

Spent most of the afternoon with some new-found friends at Tier 1 Games, my favorite gaming store here in Anchorage, giving my YGO deck a whirl. Did a lot better than I figured it would, I have to say, but after a while I felt the need to come back home.

On the way I got passed by a VW Beetle that had gotten some rather unique bodywork done. The doors had fins, the roof had a fin, the trunk had a tail with an extra pair of fully-functional brake lights and turn signals on the end, and it was painted black and white.

In short, it was a VW Beetle Orca.

This happened about 2 hours ago...I had to wait until now to post this because it wasn't until now that my brain finally accepted the fact that yes, that happened.

(EDIT: Immediately after posting this I googled "VW Beetle orca" and found a photo someone had of it. Now you can share in my confusion! :D)

The things some people do to their cars....

Well, at least the comments on the photo do a good job explaining where it came from and why, but still ... huh. Well, then.

To be honest, though, it's kinda refreshing that all of our pigeon-related shenanigans of late haven't completely destroyed my ability to be bamboozled by things like that. Refreshing in the "Oh good, that still works" sort of way, at least.

well obviously if it were a beetle pigeon then the universe would have imploded.

...Dammit, now I've got the image of a Beetle Murderbeaks stuck in my head.

I'm gonna have nightmares forever now! D:

That's a nice paint job, but it reminds me of another Beetle that's got quite a bit more oomph.

(completely ignoring the orcar) Oh, cool, you play Yu-Gi-Oh! What sort of deck do you run? I used to play a lot about four years ago, when I used to work at a gaming store; I had a generic attack-with-monsters-type deck, and a silly control deck based around Amebas. :P Now I have a Fairy deck, but it's basically three of the Structure Decks mashed together; I missed all the Tuner/Synchro stuff and I'm still getting to grips with the XYZ ideas.

I run a deck themed off of Yusei's Synchro Monsters from the 5Ds anime, using Junk/Quickdraw Synchron as the means of bringing them all out.
