And their polar bears migrate to the arctic circle and try to eat our submarines.

If you'd like to, sure - just send me a PM/conversation message, and we will figure something out. And now back to Bieber, or whatever those Northerners can be blamed for.

There are many things I like about Canada and about only one I don't, but I don't blame Canada for Justin Bieber - he is just a freak of nature that could have occurred anywhere.

 

Hey Tim @Detecto - have you run into the Nicaraguan singer "Yamir" from Myla Vox that one of your neighbours met on a mission trip to Nicaragua that she brought back to Galesburg? Now I have seen quite a bit of your little burgh on TV.

Oh, the show is "90 Day Fiance" on TLC.

 

1. invade
2. convert to capitalism
3. ???????
4. profit.

flawless plan, works every time

 

I heard "Bieb" sold out Madison Square Gardens once in less than 20 minutes. That alone could define "dumb yanks."

 

Only problem I see with that is that, the last time we tried that (invading Canada) they came down and burned the Whitehouse to the ground. Either that or it was because we spilled some of their beer...

 

Okay, okay, okay ... hey, it was all light-hearted fun until you mentioned spillin' beer!!

=> those are fightin' words!!

 

Bieber has a lot to answer for. Further unsettling world peace and spilling beer. Not good.

 

Hmmm? ... maybe we can somehow talk Bieber into squeezing himself into a beer bottle?

 

The better moose beer is "Moose Drool" from Montana.

 

Hmmm? => could be?

=> I drink wine ....... in stupid quantities!!

 

Only small quantities are stupid quantities.

 

cheers, brother!!

A great deal of the RCM "granny bait" is sold through Canada Post Offices, as well as to folks that are on their mailing list for their annual output of mostly unspectacular things. The circulating special coinage for circulating items and the $20 for $20 or $10 for $10 are sent postage free to us Canucks so it's not a bad buy. Since Canadian postage is so expensive (there's even 13% tax on the postage) the cost to even mail 5 toonies would exceed the cost of the coins if sent to the US.

In Canada, we have the Charlton Annualk Coin guide, similar to the US Reed Book to get a general idea of the tetail prices for Canadian coinage. Three years ago, they had to start publishing a separate book, just for all the enormous amount of NCLT that they churn out, most of which can be purchased on the secondary market 2-3 down the road for 50-60% of issue price. The book for just RCM stuff is bigger than the book for all circulating coinage since 1858 and all the introductory and ID material. The coins that they put out commemorate odd things with odd anniverseries, like 95 years ago.... or things that just have a tenuous tie to Canada, like the Superman stuff or Johnny Appleseed.

My personal opinion is that the RCM saves those that are looking for items a little grief when they see how much their granny bait depreciates. It's called granny bait up here because of the post office sales ... where Mildren says to her aging husband, Fred, "Oh, look wouldn't little Johnny just love this for Xmas. And 10 years down the road little Johnny wants to sell his treasures for a little high school beer and finds out he can't even buy a 12-pack.

 

Sadly no different for the US Mint

 

in 2013 little johnny comes to school and sells me all his silver coins of questionable origin for 2-3x face, then goes to the bathroom and tries to buy marijuana, but the dealer thinks the $2 bills are fake and little johnny comes back to me and complains until i give him fives and tens.
