Political Uno of Gamehendge

There are many Presidents of our great nation that could be used to depict Wilson, but Nixon seemed like an obvious choice.... for other political uno cards, check out the first two posts from this blog:


Mitt-Teca has a crab in his shoe mouth:

Reagan had a blank space where his mind should have been:

Where have you gone?


Morning is over
and noon slouches on 

Your stripes could all fade 
in the poisonous day 
When you see the sunlight
move out of the way 


The stripes on this card could all fade, because the ocelot picture is newsprint.... as you were....

Thanks to everyone for uno-ing!

 THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!! I CAN ONLY EXPRESS IT IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!!

Can you say super pychedelic six times swiftly??????

I Can See The Light


Light has definitely become the 3.0 song most used as a launch pad for exploratory, "Type II" jams... I love it... The two versions I caught last summer, at SPAC and BGCC in San Francisco were both excellent, and worked in pieces of the "Naked Jam" from the Gorge '09's "Sneakin' Sally." The second was more of a Naked Tease... kind of a belt buckle unlatcher. Actually I'm not sure without consulting the "tape" if Naked Jam went down during Light or Piper in SPAC, and I don't remember when the Naked Tease happened in SF.... either way both versions of Light were smokin' hot.

Knight in Shining Armor....

When I saw this cartoon in the newspaper, I immediately knew it was a ready-made depiction of Mike singing "Emotional Rescue" and Trey wincing.... Mike has taken on the squawking chicken disguise... Is that a scarf around his neck or just his feathers?




80's era Mick Jagger completes the card on the back

Step In To the Freezer....




A Winter Seasonal Offering... Keep it in the freezer, be sure to use a tweezer when you shave off the edge and liquefy... Share some with your Uncle Ebeneezer....

Run Like....

set the automatic gear shift.... one like a wantewope

I have kayaked on



20 years later, and I'm still on the ground...

This one goes out to my buddy the Drumma.... he has loved this song since it first came out, and I have only more recently begun to fully love it.... perhaps it has to do with it being bookended by a monsterous Disease/Carini combo in its most recent appearance on 12/30/12?

Reader Uno: Lifeboy

These are some of the cards that LIFEBOY made for leg one of last summer's tour.... you may recognize his style from some previous posts on this blog, which were sent to me from people who received his cards at various shows... or from getting one yourself at a show; I recognize his style from Uno cards I have found at shows in the past... good work... funny shit...

Squirming Coil & Ocelot Double Card

We Love to Take a Bath!



Floating in the Blimp a lot

This one was made by the Docta B.... He chose the three card because it rhymes with "free." I am now trying to break the habit of singing the modified lyric in my head: "I feeeeel threeeeee"

The All Request Band

This Caveman lives among the silent trees, but he wants to hear it more often! On a skip card because this song, along with most 2.0 songs, has been skipped out of the rotation, or into way lower rotation, lately... This puzzles the Caveman, hence the question mark.

Reader Uno

Another Provocative Uno Card... This was given to SketchyD of Phantasy Tour at Festival 8


Reader Contributions: Golden Gorilla

First of all, my hat goes off to @Golden_Gorilla (of phish.net), who apparently made 2013 Uno Cards for the recent MSG New Year's run. Dang! That's a whole lot of cards.... These were sent to me by someone who received them from @Golden_Gorilla...


Blue, splinter and grow

New crystals of snow
Seen several kinds
Through seven below



As the temperature falls outside, it seems like a good time to make a Seven Below card... I loved that version in Worcester '10>What's The Use.... Coming soon: more 2.0 song cards

Reader Uno: Beauty of A Broken Heart?

Another one from the MSG 2012 run

More reader contributions

These are from a fellow Uno card customizer. She traded for these cards during the recent New Year's run. She also has started an instagram for phish uno cards that can be found using the hashtag #phishuno





I love the unique qualities of each of these... The spots on the trout card are an especially nice touch....
