  1. Very good. I especially like the gorilla riding an elephant card. When I traveled to India, I saw gorillas riding elephants everywhere. Mostly the gorillas rode them to this creepy temple where this guy ripped the hearts out of victims and sent them into lava in a sort of chicken cage. Then Shorty saved me and Steven Spielburg's wife from the temple and we finally got to go home. Anyway, good ruck.
