A Mac’s Moment with Mr. Wizard.
Music is an art form whose medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre
and texture. All of which I possess none of. Which is why this being a written form is so amazing. The following sing-song is taken from Scouting
for Girls – “I wish I was James Bond”. Nothing like taking an obscure song that no one has heard of (Well maybe Elessar has heard of them) and making
a parody out of it using a player that EVERYONE has heard (enough) of. So please click on the link below and listen to the real version of the song,
get the pitch and the rhythm and the dynamics and the sonic qualities and then come back and switch lyrics to those below.

Mr. Wizard: 40 cats in your hand
Mactonight : and that chin hair that you move
Mr. Wizard: Don’t take this the wrong way

Mr. Wizard: You get over it, you’re just jealous
Mactonight: I’m jealous?
Mr. Wizard: Big of you to admit it.
Mactonight: Who invited you anyway?
Mr. Wizard: Who else you know that would sing with you?
Mactonight: Don’t start on that again.
Mr. Wizard: Well it’s the truth your singing is horrible.
Mactonight: Can we get back to the song?
Mr. Wizard: Sure
Mactonight: Where were we?
(On page)

Mr. Wizard: No Mr. Beep
Mactonight: Not a chance Carmac
Mr. Wizard: Carwiz!
Mactonight: Beeptonight
Mr. Wizard: Mr.Wizbeep
Mactonight: What are we doing? We’re pretty good players ourselves.
Mr. Wizard: Well I defiantly am.
Mactonight: We don’t have to be her?!
Mr. Wizard: I really didn’t want to in the first place.
Mactonight: All those cats
Mr. Wizard: and the chin hair
Mactonight: She is a pretty good player
Mr. Wizard: Yeah with all those cheat codes. Which I am now making available to anyone for the right price.
Mactonight: Pretty good song too.
Mr. Wizard: Better if you could sing.
Mactonight: Well maybe this song is good enough for “the B side”.
Mr. Wizard: Don’t you dare start that again
Mactonight: Well if it’s any “consolation” to you….
Mr. Wizard: Mac, stop it already. You won the B tourney too.
Mactonight: I know we suck.
Mr. Wizard: Best of the losers.
Mactonight: Thanks for having dinner with me and Heidiho after the tourney. The passing of the B tourney crown from you to me was touching!
Mr. Wizard: Until you threw it in the garbage. What’s wrong with you?
Mactonight: I have issues.
Mr. Wizard: You think?
Mactonight: Should I ask you about the 5 players on your final table?
Mr. Wizard: I think I need a drummer, a guitar player, someone on strings, a base and someone on horns.
Mactonight: I can play the cowbell. {CLICK ----------------------à http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mie9hhQTUM }
Mr. Wizard: You should be proud.
Join me next month as I will FINALLY post “Mac clones a dog.” Unless a certain player pisses me off again, then I’ll shelve it and do something else.

2010 Wizard Tournaments
Everything is Tentative but current thinking is as follows:
“Wizard Cards International Inc.” and “U.S. Games Systems Inc.” will send 4 Wizard Champions to the World Championships in Germany. The sponsorship
will consist of airfare from the person’s domicile plus accommodation. “Amigo-Spiele” hopes to host the 2010 championships in or near the
“Frankenstein Castle” which is located 40km from Frankfurt or about 15km south of Darmstadt..
The tentative date is the end of September or early October
The 4 players representing North America will be selected as follows:
1. A Wizard tournament held in the TORONTO area on a Saturday with 80 - 100 players. There will not be a Friday welcoming reception.
I am checking it out but I believe that the German tournament is played using only 4-handed games. If this is truly the case then all games for this
tournament will be 4-handed games. Top 2 players win trips to Germany.
3. An online tournament which will consist of the total of a player’s Top 10 scores for the period running from January 1, 2010 through June 31, 2010.
Top 2 players win trips to Germany.
North American Fantasy Deck
The Fantasy deck is now complete. The “Legend” behind the cards and the characters represented on the cards have been described in earlier
Newsletters. If you are interested they are still available online at www.wizardcards.com.

Spades……………..Black
