Ancients => Magnia Urbica => yup, another chick-chick-chick!!

Helmets rock!! ... apples, pretty cool too (way better ass-shots with the apple examples, so I'm still giving them full-points!!)

=> thanks for the coin-examples (you seem to have an example for everything => I like your style)

Ummm, does anybody even know that the NHL Hockey Playoffs have started?

... or, how 'bout NBA playoffs? (are you dudes all backing the Toronto Raptors, or what?)



=> Hey Bing, have you been to the rink backing-up your Florida Panthers?



Ooops, maybe you're a Lightning fan?




Wow, Florida has two teams in the NHL playoffs and "Canada" has zero!!

... are there two moons in the sky?

 

Actually, I'm a life long Red Wings fan, but I suppose I will now be backing the Bolts. How about you little brother?

 

Oh, that's right (I remember you saying that previously) ... well, sorry that Detroit was eliminated so early by Tamba Bay

=> hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!



Not sure who I like yet? (my Vancouver Canucks didn't make the playoffs, so my heart isn't really in it) ... but I did go into an NHL draft with some buddies and I have players from 4 different teams:

Washington Capitals
NY Islanders
STL Blues
Anaheim Ducks

... so in order to obtain the most points I'll need those four teams to go as far as possible

Cheers

 

Caps are favored. My son's favorite team.

 

A beauty, nice find!

 

Thanks randygeki ...

 

Hey, curious? ... we haven't heard from our long-time loyal coin-friend Gil-galad (Daryl) for a while, eh? ... do any of you dudes know the coin-skinny?

maybe he's merely decided to save some cash for "life-stuff" (it definitely happens)

... I PM'd him today, but I haven't got a response yet (just curious, and coin-concerned) ... he's a good sh*t

 

Steve, super nice new coin.

I got nothing little brother. Hope he is OK.

 

Gil and also Magnus Maximus. Haven't seen him in a while either.

 

no response from Gil => well, hopefully no news is good news? (maybe they're merely taking a refreshing coin-break?) ... sometimes/often life gets in the way and zaps your coin-cash, eh?
