  1. So far the Star Trek tricorder to my brain has caused no complications. My vomit pills sit unused. Took one tylenol to treat a mild headache one day. I know I'm lucky. Was able to go to art shows on different weekends, heave boxes around, and keep my con-man patter going with the customers. I was telling @InkaUtexas that was the best medicine of all. Fuck cancer, have a little fun.
  2. Wife got me a good-ol' made-in-Ohiah Buck 110. It's not fancy but it's mine. Love the weight of the brass.
  3. I don't think they're "diseased" so much as they were selected for a job they're not good at (based on my 4 hours in this lifetime of doing stuff with concrete.) For an analogy, suppose you're in a rough bar and there's about to be a knife fight. But instead of getting a ride-or-die knife-fighting friend to help you, you run out to the car, snatch your 3-year-old out of the kiddy-seat, slap an Opinel into his tiny hand, and then dwarf-heave him into the mayhem. He'd get butchered, and it's not his fault. You gave him an Opinel, which is a fine knife for woodworking, but without even a trace of a hand guard, it was always going to end badly.
  4. Anybody remember what their first piece of gold or silver was? I am talking coins, rounds, or ingots, not class rings or such. I have a hazy memory of buying a Mercury Dime from a dealer for 40 cents in the late 70s. Woulda meant spot was 5-6 dollars? I soon got a retail job where I occasionally got them in the till and "bought" them for a newer dime. I didn't even think about them being silver-- I just liked them because they were different. No telling how many silver Roosevelt Dimes and silver Quarters slipped through my fingers because I didn't check. For silver bullion I think it was 2011, local shop had Libertads at 36, I got them to knock a dollar or two off by buying several. I was blessed with poverty so I wasn't able to buy more at that price. About a year later, first gold coin was a Dos Pesos, paid maybe 80 bucks after gold was getting lower, same dude I had bought the Libertads from, the minute I said I wanted gold his whole attitude to me changed, I had been an obnoxious silver haggle-monkey but now I was a Gentleman. And you?
  5. Simple solution might be to just fill in the old pool with a thick layer of good material, sure, it'd be shallower, and I guess you'd have to provide helmets for anybody going off the diving board.
  6. Zero results for "shoot the cag." Whitey remains in the dark.
  7. Damn, sorry to hear that. Could you travel to Canada and pick it up cheaper there? I'm supposed to restart an immunotherapy course that insurance is being wobbly about. Might ask my doc if I can get it cheaper out of pocket at a clinic in the Bahamas, or maybe the Yucatan. Who knows what would actually be going in my arm, but I'd be on vacation.
  8. Love the old Mexican stuff. In olden days they allowed people with copper mines to stamp out their own centavos. Probably bought a dollar's worth of stuff back then. Bang bang bang, knockin out the money.
  9. A friend who buys and sells silver and gold all day has one coin hobby-- pennies. He doesn't care if they're rare or not, he just likes them.
  10. Reminds me of that Godzilla movie when Matthew Broderick hears the generals talking tactics vs. the monster, and he says something like "You're approaching this as if it were an enemy, but it's just an animal." So leave 1,000 pounds of fish ketchup-coated steak in the subway, Trump will come out to feast.
  11. And not just any part of Alabama. 13 years of public schools in Selma. Go Saints. But I would have learned the racist stuff from elders who had been in minstrel shows.
  12. You forgot to end the line with "aarrgghh...."
  13. Peekaboo could be a combo of Pickaninny and Jigaboo. Anyway, let the fat bag of shit laugh at his own jokes for now. Just gonna make that door slam all the harder.
  14. Probably stiffed too many tailors years ago. Word gets around.
  15. Well now that Creedence Clearwater guy was obviously legit from down in a swamp somewhere.
  16. Tuna's prolly better against cancer. Unless there's mercury and shit in it.
  17. Well, given the choice between living in a Florida mansion, and an unheated Michigan fuck-shack, I see his point.
  18. The Founding Fathers would have murdered his Hessian ass on Christmas Eve.
  19. Shit, I can't afford NOT to get one. It'd be cooler if it came with a bus driver hat, and I could pick up tips opening doors.
  20. TxTow missing his one chance to make it all right.
  21. I'll be your rhyming attorney. You'll never be strapped to the gurney.
  22. Well in local news the blood sugar finally got down to 120 today. Still too high, but after the 400s and 500s I'll call it a win by a field goal. I've been good, no carbs, but I'd do time for a dinner roll.
