    Now I know why I have never liked hush puppies. I've only eaten badly cooked ones. I'll give them another chance if I can find ones that are cooked with the correct recipe.

    Well, I was the one who saw it first, even if you were the first to whip out his wallet and pay for the thing. So thanks for letting me buy it… from you. ;)

    I noticed that you said " Give Ladymarcovan some leftover cash to pay a bill with?". I think she would put this at the top of the list, no?

    Those particular hushpuppies at Sunrise Grille on Jekyll Island were pretty good, but by no means the best I’ve had. The best ones have bits of onion in ‘em, like you said. These were somewhat plain.

    They need to be cooked in hot grease, not too big, and dipped quickly and drained. You don't want either soggy doughballs nor pieces of a space shuttle that reentered the orbit too quickly. :D

    @lordmarcovan, @Randy Abercrombie, @ToughCOINS, @ldhair, @Publius2, @Evan Saltis, @messydesk, I hope I didn't miss any of our 'reporters'. Y'all did a great job detailing all the activities of the weekend. Thank you.

    At this point I must say, I'm pretty sure everyone knows the smoking after sex analogy. I think I need a cigarette. And for the record, I've never so much as let a cigarette touch my lips (lit or unlit) in all my 65 trips around the sun.

    Hmm. Let me ponder the cigarette thing for a little while.... 5d4b3caf935075e3f7b835aa_thought-leadership-ohmconnect-t-o-u-rates-emoji.png

    If I knew this, I would have bought one! But we get so busy, I can’t peruse the floor!

    If you want to see me at a show one day - let me know and I can send over a list. We do 15 a year including the ANA, Baltimore, and FUN. But not any up your way unless we end up in Chicago.

    Would love to see you and thank you personally for the generosity and gifts I’ve received that allowed me to work in this industry full time. The knowledge I gained here over the years is used near daily at work.

    Yes… you both sound like true southerners to me! I’m happy with my Canadian accent :D

    I would enjoy meeting you as well, Evan. Most likely will be at FUN, and hopefully next January! Catherine has given me the green light to look into it for next year. She has no interest in going, so I'd fly down myself and be nothing but a coin geek for a few days. I'll have to hit up all the "veterans" here for advice on lodging, etc.

    There is this old joke. Do you smoke after sex? I don't know, I've never looked.

    Wow! What a thread! I've been catching up on my CoinTalk reading today. A special thanks to @lordmarcovan, @Randy Abercrombie, and all the contributors for the excellent comments—and especially the photos. They made me think I was actually present.

    I hope you can. It’s the best of the best.

    Not bad. I'm also familiar with the one that goes...

    'do you mind if I smoke after sex?'
    'I don't care if you burn'.
