Georg found VRT for sale at a Korean website! There's even a customer review! I think they liked it, there was a "thumbs-up" icon and a lot of exclamation points. But I ran the page through babelfish and the review was completely incomprehensible. Here's what it said:


"With this other in domestic income will be thick did not know even in dream,!


"It drew with the black white clothe pen line, tus one picture thing with the one after another at this actual object transition of the field same actual object to be same with me letting the anger the work, is direct report, tus to call one misunderstanding and get up and and be sour phul, when doing, the soft impression it is not like that but the Victoria tearoom waitress the mountain flag which it will carry ppum made me joyfully with double.


"That the possibility of learning frankly easily it is under thinking position it is not but to cuddle the joy of major general call leyk it will sprout with this other which gives the impression which moves a British history neatly with to other to minutes, enough, lu the well lin the company also as one great work thinks.


"The picture it is neat and tidy too much.. In addition the positive.. With Victoria tearoom waitress or other inside.. The pocket it listens to with high-class other, iss answer ni all! It is pretty magnificently,! Also the joy which one has the pocket more with high-class other tries to be rancid!


"mam It holds,!


"Special recommendation!"


Like I said, they seemed to like the deck but it's really hard to tell what they actually said. The only detail I could make out was that the phrase "Victoria Regina Tarot" seems to have been translated as "Victoria tearoom waitress." In the ordering information higher up on the page it was translated that way too.


I think that's what I'm going to call the deck from now on. "Victoria Tearoom Waitress" or VTW for short. I like it!

I'm taking what my friend refers to as an "in-house personal day" at work today...and have been reading along in the Diary...This "translation" has given me a fit of the giggles!


Just ordered the Deck as well...I can't wait! I was trying to be "good" and not get something I didn't "need"...But, we all know how long THAT lasts! Besides...as Sarah has so aptly diaried in the past, we need those things that make us happy

Thanks! and 'Bless...Jennifer B.
