Nominations-Unofficial King of CU

I thought that it would be fun to see who the members would elect as King. Everyone can nominate one person only, and can nominate themselves. Please no rude comments or disorderly conduct. :) I will hold a vote in a week or so with options to vote on whoever was nominated. And yes, I realize that PCGS owns CU, so I'm hoping that since it is unofficial it will be all in the name of fun. No nicknames of members who are not currently posting please.

Post a coin with a king or a president on it if you want.

Currently I have @DeplorableDan @TomB @MFeld @CaptHenway @jmlanzaf @emeraldATV @MrEureka
@291fifth @coinkat @nooraden1 @Zoins @Floridafacelifter @BillJones @lordmarcovan @burfle23 @coinsarefun @OAKSTAR @wondercoin

    @TomB all the way.
    He’s been teaching me and not knowing it for decades both here and ATS.

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    The obvious King of the forum is the troll of the week who manages to seize control every week.

    This king is not official, therefore he is electable.

    Can we have names starting with @ please? I’m sorry, but I am not that in tune with nicknames and such, so I would have to guess who you are referring to.

    That being the case, I am asking for volunteers for the Forum Liberation Front who will seek to overthrow the King as soon as she is seated.

    And I will in turn rally the Loyalists to form a Praetorian Guard, and defend his majesty. Be forwarded, we have slingshots and a five gallon bucket of parking lot finds!

    Do we have to bend the knee and pledge our fealty to one side or the other? :p

    I'm assuming it's ok to nominate multiple persons so I'll nominate Insider2, Insider3 and Insider4

    Also, no members who are no longer with us or have already seen the hangman’s noose. I want this thread to stay up.

    No offense to anyone.

    I nominate YOU because you have something to say in virtually every thread I open. ;) Plus, you are one of the all time posters aside from the member who keeps me laughing posting humor.

    I think most of us are too old to bend a knee. We might not be able to get back up without help. 😜

    LOL, good point.

    Sure, you’ll have to explain that one though.

    That settles it. If Henway is already Captain he picks the king.

    Really?

    Not funny and does not even register on the fails to pass the straight face test meter. And frankly not worthy of a response. I will refrain from commenting further. Can this entire thread just be removed?
