Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Thus ever is its fate. Think about all the indigenous art that the Spaniards melted into ingots so they could ship it home and win the fair hand of María Dolores Culo Podrido de la Finca de Chicharrones de Pedos Pantanescos. Couple months ago I was in the biggest coin shop around here, and they were sending Gold Eagles off to melt. They would have happily sold them to customers, but when the fish don't bite, still gotta keep the cash flow.

Got one. Had the idea to burn one Hav-A-Tampa in it in Grandaddy's honor, but I have been informed I can do that in whatever hotel I move to.

Mexico City
I want to go on an old-book-finding raid of Mexico City within the next two months. Keep it simple-- Zócalo area, UNAM, Estudios Azteca (I geek out trying to map the Old West Village that appeared in tons of 60s and 70s films. Probably 99% no trace left, but all I need is to see a couple of photos in their museum.) I prefer buses, cash, and taxis. Best food I ever ate there was at taxi driver cafes. Also never got sick at street stands, if that's a worry. Gotta wind down some of my meds. I feel up to explaining what 8 or 9 are for, but to hell with 14. All y'all who haven't been to Frida's Casa Azul, git ye there. I never went to the other house, the double one connected with a little walkway. Guess that's my assignment.

Pro tip if you're at a cafe with a self-serve drink station: Always give the drink lever a little thump before you stick your cup under it. There's probably a bee up in there doing the same as you. You don't want that bee in your drink, and neither does he.

Sell em all at once to a wine dealer. Do something fun with the money. Like vodka. Like a nice vacation.

Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Ran my credit card up a bit past month. In the past, bought a good bit of really generic silver bars and rounds at maybe 25 average. Generic so I'd have no attachment to them. I find myself driving past coin shops, that aren't on the way home. [edit: realized this is a bit mysterious. Credit card was for non-PM stuff. Thinking about ditching some silver to kill the bill like that kid shooting Ol' Yeller.]

Yeah that sounds great in theory but we both know you'd kick my ass if I drove to your house and tried any of that.

By "concrete barrier" do we mean that sloped 4" high looking strip? You put a moving train behind my ass, pretty sure we're getting over that quite quickly.

AHA. Laugh now, Libtard, but your own words serve the truth, even if your defiant soul seeks to twist it.

They have taken the bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes...drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming.

Welp. Mrs. Canecutter tested pos for Covid. I'll be next. This is like time 2 or 3 on the old original 3 shots. Wasn't planning on doing anything social before February anyway.

Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
Yep. Somewhere back in the First Crusade I was catching a ride with a friend. Car was full of his fencing equipment. His chosen placement for all his fencing foils was in the back seat, on top of our bags, pointed forward with the tips about level with the backs of our skulls. I was like, "Man? Maybe we could at least turn these sideways?" Him: "Why?" "What if we wreck into somebody? These things'll be like spears." "Well I'm not planning on having a wreck." Which relieved my worries no end. But I wasn't riding anywhere with steel spikes pointed at my brain, so with much put-upon huffing, dude disassembled his death-trap. And we didn't have a wreck, totally proving me to be a wet blanket.

Well, you've got people with the talent, connections, and resources to go anywhere and do anything, and apparently they chose to repeat middle school.

17 year-olds, Dude.
TIL that "honorable" means whatever you want it to mean. Somewhere, Ala. Rep Mike Rogers is flinging his hair piece like a midshipman's cap.

Getting old sucks
I was fencing until the pandemic. About 20 years older than the seasoned adults, 40+ years more than the mobs of pretty-good high school/college kids. You had to use your brain. So at the start of each tournament round, when you'd shake hands, I, graybeard, might hunch over a little extra, maybe wheeze out a "let's just have a good fun match," sort of slouch back, put on mask and get in a stance. And the EXACT SPLIT SECOND the judge said "fence," leap through the air and stab em in the face. Damn it felt good to be a gangster.
