  1. Probably back to 1065 or even 1064, unless your ancestors were decanted in a sorcerer's workshop.
  2. On Anglo-Saxons, I'd like to point out that we are Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and a few Frisians, each distinct peoples. I have no idea what this woke gobbligook "Anglo-Saxon" is supposed to mean. Sounds racially impure.
  3. She didn't go to any grocery store. She had some delivery service haul that food to whatever book-free beige apartment full of sticky skank underwear on the floor that she lurks in.
  4. Yeah, maybe since the 90s here. Back then, I wouldn't leave the house without a dollar's worth of quarters in my slacker grad school pocket, because you could buy stuff with it-- soft drink, burger on special, something, maybe even use a phone. It fit the ecosystem. Now it'd be like strapping on a sword. The obvious answer if the Mint wants to keep cranking out coins, is to make some higher denomination ones like $1, $5... but that has jumped the shark unless Gen Post-Z decides to go Luddite.
  5. Phun Phact: silver dollars were minted because silver miners had good lobbyists, and they got to convert less than a dollar of silver into silver dollars. People didn't really like the coins when they came out, and two-thirds of them sat in bags at the mint, unused, until in the 1960s they started selling $1,000 bags of them to the public. About 15 minutes after that, the whole complex silver dollar collecting buying/selling hobby sprang up.
  6. I'll be your kid.
  7. He can live fine off of Social Security down in Mizzibbi. Probably just wanted more time to gamble.
  8. Gotta keep that Biloxi listening area from flipping Mississippi blue.
  9. With a couple of smart high-schoolers working the website.
  10. I sell art. Stickers were like belts-of-machine-gun-ammo art that I could buy for less than a dollar and sell for 3. But then I realized that at an art show, you get a finite number of people who want to buy your work. You put a fucking 3 dollar sticker in front of them, that's what some of em will buy, and then they walk away and you stand there with you big three dollars. So I quit getting stickers. I currently order prints that I can sell for $20 profit. 20 dollars, that's pimp money.
  11. I had no problem with the stickers I originally got from them. Then they started requiring vector graphics which I don't do, so it was fun while it lasted. I was pretty happy with the stickers I got from Redbubble, until I realized that the best way to make money off of stickers, is don't sell stickers.
  12. Yeah, googling We Buy Gold places for BHam, I get 3 legit coin shops, one or two jewelers, and the rest pawn shops or check cashing places. It just doesn't have the frenzied vibe of yesteryear.
  13. I unsubscribed from Sticker Mule emails yesterday. I had just been deleting them anyway before I knew the dude was a Trumpkin. But now I unsubscribed, that'll have him up late at night wondering why.
  14. During my last visit to the coin store, me n dude were talking about something. In 2011 when gold shot up to 1800, you couldn't walk down the street without seeing a "We Buy Gold" pop-up store. In fact this guy's original store started in 2011 as a tiny "We Buy Gold" desk, and a stone's throw from him was another one. They were everywhere. Now, with gold almost a thousand higher than that? Not many to be seen. Why is that? Coin dude thinks most of the extra gold, and all those 1980s chains, they are gone. Out of the country, made into coins, done. Or maybe enough buying places survived as coin dealers post-2011 to absorb whatever bullion there is left to sell. What do y'all think? I have no desire to sit inside a "We Buy Gold" shop waiting to find out.
  15. Missed opportunity to recruit Maria Barracuda to get out the vote of everybody who was a 14-year-old in 2007 learning the arm motions to this video in their room.
  16. Talk radio informs me that any Democrat votes are due to hacking by China and Iran.
  17. Planning to attack through the Ardennes.
  18. I personally find his Confederate uniform to be a blatant case of Stolen Valor, Suh.
  19. I'm gonna dress as Scarlet O'Hara.
  20. Well, one of the easiest ways to make money is buying stuff cheap after the market crashes.
  21. You'll be singing a different tune when I convince the mummy to spare us.
  22. I doubled-majored plus took a ton of extra stuff on top of that, and I will out-waste any single-major person every day and twice on Sunday, good sir.
