  1. First thing you wanna do is weigh it on a digital scale. 26.73 grams is what you want it to be. It may be a hair heavier or lighter due to dirt or wear, but if it's a couple grams light, probably fake. I'll go dig up my coin book in a little bit and add more. I don't like those marks. They give me suspicions.
  2. I was at a party a few days ago that was mostly High Church type people who got themselves indignantly worked up over whatever they'd last heard on NPR. The French Army in 1940 had more chance of winning than these people. Zero tactics, no clue as to why their arguments weren't selling to people, just that they were better. They weren't even kind and gentle. One turtle-necked malcontent dropped a "You must be a redneck" snark at me because I had on a (warm) plaid shirt and I sound more like Webb Wilder than I do a piccolo. That's Transplanted Northumbrian English, baybee. I coulda come back that her butt was big, but I just thought it. So anyway, that happened. I'll go back to hanging with my liberal artist friends who have paint under their fingernails, as we sell our stuff to anybody who knows how to act in public. Fuck it. Where's my damn Trump check.
  3. Change it to "Ran Craps tables with penny and nickel bets and folks STILL wanted to whup my ass," and you might be warmer.
  4. I can't see "p f chang" without hearing it in perky uptalk.
  5. Thus ever is its fate. Think about all the indigenous art that the Spaniards melted into ingots so they could ship it home and win the fair hand of María Dolores Culo Podrido de la Finca de Chicharrones de Pedos Pantanescos. Couple months ago I was in the biggest coin shop around here, and they were sending Gold Eagles off to melt. They would have happily sold them to customers, but when the fish don't bite, still gotta keep the cash flow.
  6. Got one. Had the idea to burn one Hav-A-Tampa in it in Grandaddy's honor, but I have been informed I can do that in whatever hotel I move to.
  7. I want to go on an old-book-finding raid of Mexico City within the next two months. Keep it simple-- Zócalo area, UNAM, Estudios Azteca (I geek out trying to map the Old West Village that appeared in tons of 60s and 70s films. Probably 99% no trace left, but all I need is to see a couple of photos in their museum.) I prefer buses, cash, and taxis. Best food I ever ate there was at taxi driver cafes. Also never got sick at street stands, if that's a worry. Gotta wind down some of my meds. I feel up to explaining what 8 or 9 are for, but to hell with 14. All y'all who haven't been to Frida's Casa Azul, git ye there. I never went to the other house, the double one connected with a little walkway. Guess that's my assignment.
  8. With the levitating skull?
  9. Pro tip if you're at a cafe with a self-serve drink station: Always give the drink lever a little thump before you stick your cup under it. There's probably a bee up in there doing the same as you. You don't want that bee in your drink, and neither does he.
  10. Sell em all at once to a wine dealer. Do something fun with the money. Like vodka. Like a nice vacation.
  11. The driver strikes me as panicky, and not quite NCO material.
  12. Ran my credit card up a bit past month. In the past, bought a good bit of really generic silver bars and rounds at maybe 25 average. Generic so I'd have no attachment to them. I find myself driving past coin shops, that aren't on the way home. [edit: realized this is a bit mysterious. Credit card was for non-PM stuff. Thinking about ditching some silver to kill the bill like that kid shooting Ol' Yeller.]
  13. One of those two is the gateway to great abs.
  14. Yeah that sounds great in theory but we both know you'd kick my ass if I drove to your house and tried any of that.
  15. By "concrete barrier" do we mean that sloped 4" high looking strip? You put a moving train behind my ass, pretty sure we're getting over that quite quickly.
  16. AHA. Laugh now, Libtard, but your own words serve the truth, even if your defiant soul seeks to twist it.
  17. They have taken the bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes...drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming.
  18. Welp. Mrs. Canecutter tested pos for Covid. I'll be next. This is like time 2 or 3 on the old original 3 shots. Wasn't planning on doing anything social before February anyway.
  19. Yep. Somewhere back in the First Crusade I was catching a ride with a friend. Car was full of his fencing equipment. His chosen placement for all his fencing foils was in the back seat, on top of our bags, pointed forward with the tips about level with the backs of our skulls. I was like, "Man? Maybe we could at least turn these sideways?" Him: "Why?" "What if we wreck into somebody? These things'll be like spears." "Well I'm not planning on having a wreck." Which relieved my worries no end. But I wasn't riding anywhere with steel spikes pointed at my brain, so with much put-upon huffing, dude disassembled his death-trap. And we didn't have a wreck, totally proving me to be a wet blanket.
  20. Well, you've got people with the talent, connections, and resources to go anywhere and do anything, and apparently they chose to repeat middle school.
