"Good Morning Class" -- The Royal Report Card

In Coinalot, the castle is a little nervous-- the King's grades are in from The Graders Who Charge Fees

MadMarty, the castle Madman, sits in the rafters singing a song

The King awaits the Royal Grades
To tally up mistakes he made
If coins are bagged-- then heads will roll
Perhaps he'll stick yours on a pole!


Sir DragonAzz: (to Marty) Put a sock in it!!

Marty continues:

If Frankie proves to be AT
He'll cleave you straight down to the knee
He will create a bloody scene
If all his favorite coins were cleaned...


The Earl of Compucheap: Shut up ya freak!!!

Madmarty drops down from the rafters. He is a wild collection of rags, bags and tangled hair. He dances as he sings

The carnage will be quite complete
The drums will pound--the horns will bleat
He'll hang you all on yonder wall....
And curse The Sheriff of Homerun Hall!


Sir Dog97: The reviews are in! (he levels his crossbow at Marty).
Sir Bear: No Sir Dog!!! For the love of God!!!!
Sir Dog97: WHAT?
Sir Bear: (grabbing the crossbow from his hands) LET ME! (he fires)
Madmarty: GAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!
Sir Bear: (smiling) You don't even know how good that felt!

With great fanfare King ArtR enters the Royal Hall and takes a seat on his throne. There is nervous silence

KingArtR: I have been informed that the Royal Grades have been posted from The Graders Who Charge Fees! 'Tis it true?
--Silence--
KingArtR: Speak up! Who shall tell the King his grades!!

The Knights look down sheepishly, shuffling their feet. Sir DCAMFranklin removes his codpiece and puts it in a Slab Caddy™.

The Archbishop of Coinguy1 (whispering to Sir Draco): Give the grades to a Darksider. We can afford to lose a couple of those guys!
King ArtR: (bellowing) I DEMAND TO BE TOLD THE ROYAL GRADES!!!

A parchment crammed into her hands, the Maiden Coindaughter meekly approaches the throne

Maid Coindaughter: I shall tell thee, your Highness.
King ArtR: EXCELLENT! By the Gods, you have sauce, wench! Read to me line one....
Maid Coindaughter: Ummm... the 2002 Sac dollar has been ajudged...
--everyone takes a deep breath--
Maid Coindaughter: MS 69 YOUR MAJESTY!!!!!

There is much cheering and merriment!

KingArtR: (leaping to his feet) BY THE GODS!!!! MS69 YOU SAY????!!
Sir Zenny: HIS MAJESTY HAS THE EYE OF AN EAGLE!!!
Sir Irishmike: LET HIM BE KNOWN AS THE ROYAL CHERRYPICKER!!!!
Sir BigD5: HE RIPP'THED IT!!!!!!
KingArtR: (smiling broadly) MS 69!!! And the next submission??? Pray tell thee what my Roosie gradeth???
Maid Coindaughter: Line two... the 2003 Roosevelt grades...
--Great sucking of breath--
MS 69!!!!!!!!!

There is tremendous cheering and waving of banners!

KingArtR: MS 69 AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE GODS! HIS MAJESTY SHOULD GOEST TO VEGAS!!!!!
Sir Cacheman: Oh no, your Highness! 'Tis NOT LUCK! THEE ARE THE FINEST GRADER IN THE LAND!
The Assorted Knights: HERE! HERE!!!
Squire Airplanenut: Cool!
--Silence--

ArtR sits back on his throne and ponders

King ArtR: Maid Coindaughter... read the grade for my roosie again...
Maid Coindaughter: MS 69, your Highness!!!
King ArtR: MS 69.... Does it not say more?
Maid Coindaughter: Why... no your Highness...
King ArtR: (his face darkening) It says nothing about a full torch... for instance??
Maid Coindaugher:... no, your Highness...
--Silence--

Sir AgentJim007: Puketh.

King ArtR: (raging) BY THE GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The residents of Coinalot begin to scramble for cover

King ArtR: THE VILE DOGS! DO THEY NOT THINK HIS MAJESTY CAN GRADE!!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!! I WILL HAVE THEIR VITALS ON A HEAD OF LETTUCE!!!!!

Unnoticed in the corner, Madmarty quietly removes the arrow from his chest and begins to sing

I am the Sheriff of Homerun Hall
I rule the land--I own you all
The grades you get will be correct
Complain aloud-- I'll stretch your neck
A potato stuck down in yor pants.....


The Earl of Compucheap (listening to Marty) BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

  • ClankeyeClankeye Posts: 3,928
    I wish you guys could actually hear the song I sing when I'm writing those lyrics. It's a nice medieval little ditty. One of these days I'll have to put a soundtrack on one of these.

    I wish you all a truly happy holiday.

    Absolutely Fabulous! Should we email it to the entire staff of PCGS?
  • Great episode, Carl -- one of your finest so far. As always I can't wait until you post another installment.

    zenny - My wife and I saw that movie yesterday. It was pretty funny. One part in particular caused the theater to nearly hyperventilate with laughter. Of course, we kind of live out in the sticks where there isn't much excitement.

    In Coinalot I've heard it said
    King ArtR can't get out of bed
    He wails about his rotten luck...
    His grades came in--his coins all suck!

    Sir DCAMFranklin would never, not ever, own a Slab Caddy. What's that thing supposed to do anyway? You wear it on the opposite side of your belt as your sliderule and it then gives you balance???? image
