1964 Cook Islands Morgan Dollar

Not always. It just surprises me that when some folks get bent over on an unsuspecting buy, they can turn around and do it to some one else.

You can certainly be a former member of the ANA, but I always get a good laugh out of someone saying "He's a former Army veteran."

 

Shirley, you jest.

 

Are you asking if that's one of the rules?

 

Of course I jest.. And don't call my Shirley! (Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines)

 

Cascade, I can't remember now, where you under Over or over Under?

A comedy-variety show, Rowen and Martins Laugh In. Ran from 1968 to 1972. Highlighted some major stars, and introduced others that became big. Introduced several "catch phrases" into common use although most have now disappeared. (Verrry Interesting!, You bet your Bippie (Which later spawned its own movie "The Maltese Bippie"), "Sock it to me!", and The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate!.) They managed to anybody and everybody onto the show. They even managed to get President Richard Nixon on it four times. (They did get him to deliver the Sock it to me! line but due to the Secret Service objections they weren't actually able to follow though with it.)

They had a segment with dancing girls in skimpy bikini's (doesn't sound like much but in that era t was MUCH more revealing than the censors would normally allow) with jokes written all over their bodies. Goldie Hawn got her start as one of those dancers. It was just a very strange but enjoyable show.

 

Then there was that icon of hilarity “Hee Haw”! Yup, Laugh In was the Saturday Night Live of the 60’s. Velly Intelestink, but stupid! I can still see Artie Johnson on his tricycle.

 

My personal favorite part of the show, other than Dan's and Dick's ongoing inane, ridiculous, and insanely ludicrous banter, was the occasional Farkle Family skit, with Rowan as the hapless Fred Farkle, and with Martin as the goofy freckled guy from next door who had clearly fathered all of his neighbor Rowan's children.

 

This better not be yet another one of those sly, underhanded political endorsements of singularly short, shrubbery surrounded and sarcasm spouting "Nazzies"!

 

Well a lot of people have referred to me as the OP, but I’m not, I’m the 2nd poster, but I’m the one that sparked a huge discussion. I admit I was pretty sure my post would likely cause a heated discussion, but things were a little boring around here. Thanks to everyone for their feedback on my questionable ethics. And FWIW, Yes, I sleep rather well at night.

 

I'm happy we were able to relieve your boredom. However, next time, please post to another forum like Trolls-R-Us.

 

The devil made me do it!

 

So, oldhoopster, if I post something that is controversial and sparks some debate them I’m a troll? Are you the troll police? Nearly 100 posts, half of them by Lemme Caution, none of them from you, seems like a good thing to get people thinking about what is ethical and what is not. I’m sorry if I woke you up. Back to sleep with you!

There, that should spark another 100 responses.

 

Geez! At least be smart enough to not admit that you posted something because you were bored and wanted to liven up the place for your own entertainment. Even our esteemed House Trolls like @ed wood 654 and Rich-Tim, know that much. I suggest you look up some of their work to see how it's done

 

The intention of my post wasn’t BECAUSE I wanted to spark a huge debate, but I assumed it would. I honestly wanted to know if other members of this forum thought my reselling these “coins” to eBayers was ethical or not. Trolls post stuff only because they want to kick the hornets nest, they could really care less about the answers to their question. There is a big difference IMHO.

 

Ok, I misinterpreted your intention in post #93. Thanks for the clarification

 

Hi, old basketball player, take your meds and lay down for a while.
