Re: burros-ark
Folks,
I'm going 'All-Amoeba' on you. The world is crashing because some Italian dude wants to make money for some broke-d*ck Greeks and the Krauts want nuthin of it. Sumthin about goose stepping on you once before so they ain't against it so much now. And, everybody knows the pasty white fatties in Krautland need the exercise:cheesy:
So, just to make a point about the 'January Affect' I am multiplying everybody's January return by 12. For most of us it will look like the Hindenburg - with it's GiagantaNormis Swastika - just crashed right on our pointy little heads. Oh, the humanity!!! Is this the Hindenburg Omen:
Now, folks, it is January in the Northern Hemisphere and there is a giant blimp burning overhead. What the hell are all you chaps prancing around in thongs for. I know you all have nice shoes, but this is ridiculous:embarrest:
If the Patriots win the Super Duper Bowl than all those losses will at least double. And, if you start staring at a bunch of mini-skirts (actually, that would have more coverage than most you you have) than the S&P500 will go to Zip, Zero, Nada:nana:
I think I'm going to :ban: myself now.

Re: JPCavin just had to ask. Why, oh Lord, why???
i want to post a public service anouncement about silver, but it applies to all silver not just tsptalk silver so i will put it here.
do you remember as a kid you sometimes would find a 1965 quarter in your change and knew it was different because it was heavier than the others back when $0.25 was worth something? and then you discovered the local jeweler and pawn shop would sell you an ounce of the pure stuff for $6.46 of your paper route and lawn mowing money? or maybe it was $6.86, i forget. anyways, i want to warn people so this doesn't happen to them like it did to me.
at first with my monthly net profits i would go to the bank and change it all into one dollar bills and toss them up in the air in my room, the original 'make it rain', but i only did that with my clothes on when my mom was at work because for some reason she frowned on those activities. after a while i decided to convert the monthly net profit dollar bills into silver one ounce coins or bars. the jeweler would just smile at me when i made the exchange, i think he knew it hurts when you toss precious metals in the air and laugh at the delicious shineyness, especially if you are naked. so after awhile i would just lick them instead. yep, i have licked shiny silver.
here is the public service announcement: be very careful licking your tsptalk silver, or any silver for that matter. one time i got carried away and accidentally swallowed a 1965 quarter. it took 3 days to, uhhh, recover it, the hard way. it was not pleasant but it did have these cool rainbow patterns on it when i finally, uhhh, found it. so be careful if you get the urge to lick your shiny shiny heavy silver tsptalk coins. they are much bigger and heavier than a 1965 quarter.

It must be that beautiful reflective shine! At least you never licked a hot iron as a child after admiring yourself in the reflection....not me...my mom...RIP.
Burro, your comments never cease to amaze me!! Why oh why??? LoL.

Just out of curiosity, how old were you? She was about 5-6. They had just gotten their first iron. I guess the highly reflective surface was too much to resist!!

Re: JPCavin just had to ask. Why, oh Lord, why???
I was watching Milton Friedman's 'Free to Choose' when my TSP Silver rolled in...
I was fondly remembering the Pencil example...
Then I thought about the beautiful silver bullion coins I had just received.
While my plastic casing would never get me in the movies, where was it made? Where was the raw plastic fabricated? Was the oil used in the refining to plastic pulled out of the ground via a beautiful shale oil fraking rig or by enslaved Pakistanis tethered to some oil tick county's well head? Who etched the designs, who created the etching machinery? ... and more ...s.
In the end, it is that pure clang that I think most of.

Re: JPCavin just had to ask. Why, oh Lord, why???
So highly reflective...such a high shine. They reflect just like a mirror!!
I had a very hard time taking pictures without catching my reflection, or that of my camera and fingernails. The pictures came out great with some reflection coming off the raised lettering and rim!! But it still does not do them justice. The center looks solid..no reflection as they are picking up the off-white color of the ceiling, and of course the reflection of the edges are not as dazzling as they look real life. I love them!!! I dare not clang them for fear of scratching them. :worried:
My silver TSPTalk coins came in over a week ago!! Absolutely beautiful!!

Re: JPCavin just had to ask. Why, oh Lord, why???
i had the same reflection problems. i'm glad i looked closely at those pictures before i posted them. i was just trying to show off my shiny silver, not the family jewels.
they are really shiny. they should make mirrors out of silver or something.
and i was not licking them, that time.

I'd play! But, I only have 10 minutes left on my lunch break and that's just not enough time to hang you. Duct tape, yes, but not to play hang the burro. Sorry, honey.
