  1. If it's any consolation to the OP, this guy's "success" on social media is probably about as real as Cinderella's Castle at Disneyworld. He's probably still scamming somebody else, and will eventually get prosecuted for bigger things, or robbed and left alone in the corner of the nursing home by his 4th trophy wife and any nose-candy children.

  2. Buy a baby Capuchin monkey and teach it how to jimmy locks and open upstairs windows. Then teach it how to jab hatpins into mannequins' eyes. Then you and your lock-pickin, eye-jabbin Capuchin monkey go on a vacation somewhere out west. Leave your phone at home, and use cash.

  3. I blame this naivete on the post-WW2 nuclear family, styrene plastic model-airplane kits and their requisite glue, as well as Malibu Barbie (who actually should have been good at math class, seeing as how she was modeled after a German prostitute.)

    Prior to WW2, people either lived in pestilential tenements/almost-touching shotgun shacks, and possibly spied on each other, or they were well enough off to have servants, who definitely spied. Our great-great-grandparents had sense enough to keep their yaps shut. We must relearn that.

    Well, I'm not thinking of anything that requires drilling -- more like this:

    I mean, it depends on what you want to do with the coin later. If you wanted to resell it, its value would be lower from being out in the weather, getting handled, fingerprints, etc. OTOH, since you want to give it to one person to have for the rest of her life, what the hey. Nice jewelry is still nice jewelry.

    What if you got her a real one to keep in a case, and a nice replica made into jewelry?

    How long has yours lasted?

    I got a year each out of two POS mowers I foolishly bought at Sears. You hit a good solid rock, pipe, or stump, and suddenly they start acting all wobbly and oozing oil.

    Don't tell me it's Operater Error. They sposed to be mowers, mow whatever's in my yard. Didn't say they were just for mowing grass.

    Oh hell yeah. I heard this one on a dark desert highway the first night of my move to Mexico, liked to drove off the road laughing.

    Let's say you have an electrician come over to your house and he tries to fundamentally change how much electricity your house uses but manages to blow every fuse in the fuse box and catches your house on fire while trying.  Is that a beautiful thing to see?

    If your house is on fire, you still have light and warmth.
