    oh yeah.. I'm serious :) . I used to have all the characters from the first movie and the from Empire strikes back from right after the movies came out. Boy I sure do wish I had them now. They are worth quite a bit.

    So which character is it? Its hard to tell all I can make out is the vest. But it looks like Mark Hamil's face much more than Harrison Ford.

    Heres my star wars contribution, a world coin!

    New Zealand Mint 2016

    Only 10,000 minted!

    And since we're still talking about the the English Round Pound. Here is my own proof of that coin. I wonder if the value will go up? 15076792343981051673143.jpg

    You know I really love the design of the plastic holders of these proofs.... you fit the coin inside and instead of snapping shut they screw on just right to make an air tight seal.

    One of the many ingenious ways plastic has been put to use intelligently.

    Objection: Argumentative

    On the contrary, IF you had actually read my posts, you'd realize that I'm NOT against plastic at all, I merely disapprove of its use in our US paper money. In order to challenge me on an issue, You can't just have a cursory reading of what I post, you have to understand, to process, in other words not jumping the gun.

    I in fact invest in a few oil companies. One listed on the Ethisphere top 100 most ethical companies.

    No insults intended. I just see agitators for what they currently, whether consciously or not, are doing, and some of the time I attempt to coach them out of the negative attention seeking behavior in which they engage.

    Thanks for confirming that the soapbox speeches were what I thought they were.

    I'll have to check out the Ancient Trinkets post. You are serious, correct? It is no where near ancient, it's only 1 year old so I'm not sure if it will fit in there unless it's a pun.

    Please go pick on someone more worthy of your immense knowledge and intellect. I'm not biased, one way or another against oil, I have an opinion and I shared it, and these forums are not for personal attacks. Soapbox speeches have a negative connotation.

    As for me, I just wanted to know where you went to school. If the adversarial process is your way of learning, join a debate team. Or at least verify your sources. My info is fact based. I think I have earned respect, and in my opinion a bit more informed on the subject.
    I don't dislike you, in fact as a baseball coach myself, I thought I might be able to help you with what seems to be oppositional defiant disorder.

    Yeah it doesn't belong there. So correct me if I'm wrong,; you think its old school. Was 1978 before your time?

    I'm sorry but I refuse to insult you... for all I know you are a twelve year old kid, with problems I cannot help you with. I don't know what to tell you except reread this entire post and maybe you will realize the errors of logic.

    I'm sorry but I must put you on the ignore list. You have been oblivious to everything I've said. I believe you are the first one for which Ive done this. Fare thee well.. and I hope that personal growth is in your future plans. I can tell you this, you'd probably respect me if you met me face to face . I'm done with you until that day.

    In the first movie (Episode 4 A New Hope) they are in the cantina when one of the customers is irritated by Luke and delivers this line as he pulls his gun...Ben slices him with a light saber.
