OK, no disrespect to Mr. Clankeye. I asked my wife what a Clankeye is and she had no idea. Can anyone help me out?

    Maybe the ringer part of a cowbell?

    If memory serves me, which it rarely does this day, I think he explained by saying he only had one good eye, now whether that was in jest or not, I don't remember.

    Well, it just seemed like a better handle than "Crankshaft."


    Yes, Bear is correct, it is a nickname I gave my cat, Clancy. Who is none to pleased to be sharing it with me in cyber-space.

    Hey Clank, do I win a prize, what do I get ? Is it a pony or a cowboy hat?

    You ever hear about pirates who have lost a hand and have a hook instead? A clankeye is a metallic eye, which is implanted when a pirate looses his eye. image

    A cat named after an author, an author named after a cat. Pleasingly circular.

    I once knew a pirate with a wooden leg named Smith. (Oh yeah, what was the name of the other leg?)

    Clank - Thanks for the info. It's been driving me freaking insane for a day or two now. My cats are Scout and Skeeter. On with the next great adventure.

    By the way, since this is a coin forum, I thought I would share my recent "this is cool" favorite coin. A bit pricey, but who said quality is cheap?

    Bear... I got your prize right here.

    I am actually very sorry that the story behind Clankeye isn't more dramatic. He actually was lost for 14 months and then was found again, living under a kind woman's house. He is a total black Halloween cat. A very good guy. More like a dog actually.

    IrishMike: if I only had one good eye, how could I find those MS67 Washingtons?

    Blade--you just got yourself in next weeks story for this thread, and your wife, too. What's her name... don't want to spell it wrong.
