    Happy US Thansgiving!!

    ... I already ate my tough ol' Canadian bird back in October (*sigh*)

    I love it that you dudes have three NFL games on the tube today (I may have to stay home Thanksgiving sick and watch a couple of 'em?!)

    I'll try to post a few bird-coins later-on

    cheers, coin-bros

    Happy Thanksgiving ALL!!!!

    I'll add my recent OWL purchase, but I think I'll stick with eating turkey----although I understand peacock is quite tasty...at least the ancient Romans seemed to think so.

    ... gawd, a few of those babies look like they'd be pretty bad eatin', eh? (ummm, but a two bodied owl seems like it might feed a fair sized family?)

    :D

    ... sorry, I always get a bit carried away

    ... man, that is cool (I merely have a peacock "underneath" a throne)

    My version must be lower on the pecking-order than Mat's?
