That's how it happened. I guess I could have embellished the tale. Maybe the scammer customer was really a werewolf, and Bill Wright shot him...
Amen, Brother, and can I get a "hallelujah".
Well, sure, but it doesn’t have to be a big deal. You can take an eclectic approach and do a “freestyle” collection on almost any budget. In...
I think you'll find abandoning the fixed structure of "sets" liberating, once you get used to it. Going "freestyle" does take a little bit of...

I happen to know that went down on another coin site, and did not involve your CoinTalk Secret Santa. ;)
