I read the news today oh boy, 'bout a knee on 9 that made the grade.. What do you imagine is the hardest part of being a coin dealer? I think it might be dealing with unrealistic collectors. Like me. "Yeah, I'm looking for 51D Lincoln with A knee on 9 chip. And only AU58." "Uh, right,... I think I just sold that one. But, here's a nice one." "I don't know. It kind a looks a lot like a Bugs Bunny half to my eye..." I bet they have some funny stories when they're packing up a show. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...0iwURzqVONW4iR0pQ&sig2=oSVE2nFl2OAjNJ2mTVRsfw
Awe, c'mon now. No one ever thought about what it would be like as a coin dealer? What about traveling to shows? I don't think I could do that. There are going to be airport employees who know your transporting coins. Who know your destination and time you'll arrive and they have phones with text, IM and email. Oh yeah and a camera, so they may even have your photo. These airports worry a lot about Grandma's toe nail clippers but do they worry about their employees? I'd be so paranoid by the time the plane landed I'd sit in the hotel room for 3 days with Schnapps in one hand and the base ball bat, that would probably do very poorly at the full boogaloo fight, in the other hand. Mumbling "do you feel lucky punk."
I read the news today, oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade (7o) And though the news was rather glad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph (SCG) He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that standards changed The crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen that slab before Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of Stacks I saw the film today, oh boy The grading companies just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had to look I bought the grading book I'd love to turn you on....... Woke up, fell out of bed Got's the Red Book in my head Found my way downstairs and drank Koolaid And looking up, I noticed it was late (die state) Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bourse floor seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a look And something caught my eye and I went into a dream Ah, Pan Pac.......... I read the news today, oh boy 4000 dealers at Fun Show Florida And though the tables were very small I had to visit them all Now they know how many dealers it takes to fill the Orlando Hall Collecting just turns me on........
I don't understand the meme but I like it. Never thought too much about what it's like being a coin dealer but you bring up an interesting point about airports.
Man, Green you totally rock! For those unfamilar with superior culture, here's the song of Green's parody. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...0iwURzqVONW4iR0pQ&sig2=oSVE2nFl2OAjNJ2mTVRsfw
Jwt708 the meme was a sales gimmick they pulled by putting suggestions in their songs that Paul was really dead. That he got killed in a car accident. In one song John even says: "I buried Paul." In another one a voice keeps saying "number nine." You stiopped the turn table after he said that and spun it backwards and it would say "dead man." Oh, and there was Paul, the dead Beatle, who said "bury my body." And dozens of other things all intended to sell records so people could hunt for hints.
John is not dead (oh yes he is). John is not dead (just ask Yoko), John is not dead.......you're right.......his music and lyrics ever live on. He lives among us constantly.
Of course he's not dead. A Working Class Hero would never be living at Dakota. That was an imposter. "...if you want to be a hero then just follow me." Er, to where? :devil:
Here's Yoko as spokes human for Girlie-girl beer. https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...DHqJRg&usg=AFQjCNE93ld4KEUUx4szDBBbOHYBxQNowg
I read she was always in the studio when they were recording. That must have been an inspiring visual for rest of the Beatles.
