"Good Morning Class" - The Flames of Coinalot

Clankeye

King ArtR and the Knights of Coinalot are bored. Nothing much has happened at the castle of late.

King ArtR: (slouching on his throne) Me thinks thee a deadly dull lot. Can no one here entertain me?
The Archbishop of Coinguy1: But, my liege... you have brought peace to Coinalot! Look around you, prosperity is enjoyed by all! Peace and love reigns through the land!
Sir Agentjim007: Me thinkest I shall puketh!
King ArtR: (perking up) What did thou say?

The knights all reach for their broadswords

Sir Agentjim007: ...Nothing Sire.
King ArtR: (jumping to his feet) Did you not mean to flame The Archbishop of Coinguy most brutally? To tear him asunder? Eviserate him verbally? Trounce, flounce and most savagely rippeth him a new one? WAS THIS NOT YOUR INTENT!!!!!!?????
Sir Agentjim007: ...I fear not, Majesty.
King ArtR: (sitting again, dejected) Well... why not? If anyone deserves it, 'tis he. Him and his wretched Castle Peace Committee has rendered this place dull as plain song.
Archbishop of Coinguy1: (sputtering) But... but... my liege--
King ArtR: SILENCE! Who amongst you fierce hearts can say they do not miss a good flaming! NOT ONE FIGHT THIS WEEKEND! What tales are there for Scribe Clankeye to chronicle? Do we want history to record that life in Coinalot was as exciting as a sewing bee! ME THINKEST NOT!!!! Where is Sir Halfwit?
Sir Halfnut: (gingerly) That's Halfnut, your Majesty...
King ArtR: Halfnut, Halfwit... whatever! Entertain me!
Sir Halfnut: (uncomfortable) I confess, I cannot, your Highness...
King ArtR: (Roaring) WHY NOT!!!
Sir Halfnut: (gulp) ...why... why... I am too nice, your Majesty.
King ArtR: (slumping in his throne, stunned) ...Too nice?
The knights NWCS and Robert Pr approach the throne.
Sir NWCS: 'Tis true, Sire. We are all swell, and well-met fellows. Brought to the light of goodness by the Archbishop of Coinguy1!
Sir Robert Pr: (excited) I shall entertain you Highness! 'Tis a game I learned! Sir Robert takes his sword and draws a circle in the dirt. Inside it he makes a crude face
Your Majesty! Pretendeth this is one of your Royal gold pieces, and we shall all guess the grade! (he scratches the dirt with his sword) Judging by this mark, I should grade this no higher than MS 63! What guess you, your Majesty?

--Silence--

King ArtR sits on his throne, drumming his fingers, glaring at Sir Robert

King ArtR: (calm, steady) What guess I? Hmmmmm... (leaping to his feet, raging) I GUESS THAT THE ROYAL EXECUTIONER SHALL BE BUSY THIS DAY!!!!!!!! What Coindom is it I rule, that it should be plagued with such festering NICENESS!!!?? Archbishop of Coinguy, 'tis your fault! (turning to the assembled Knights) Can no one rid me of this meddlesome Priest??????!!

The crowd parts and out steps Sir Anaconda. He is dressed in the finest armor, with lovely plumage cascading from his helmet

Sir Anaconda: Your Majesty, your words are "actionable". Do you know what that means? If your parents have any assets, you might want to break out the ol' dictionary and do a little research and save them some grief. Just some friendly free advice!
King ArtR: (slackjawed) By the Gods!
Squire Airplanenut: Cool!
Sir IrishMike: (brandishing sword) You speaketh to the King, Dog!
Sir Anaconda: Sorry, about that. (To King ArtR) Are you OK? You don't look so good. I was just playing with you. Please don't be mad at me. All my friends have gone away and you're the last one. There's no way you're leaving. I know where you live and I'm headed over there right now. Do you like swords? Wait a minute, you’re a King. You love swords! Me too! See ya' in a minute. Just kidding! That'll probably get me kicked outta here. I gotta go now, bye. Oh, no. Not you guys again. Hey, let go of me. Take that off of me. You're putting it on too tight again...STOP IT! STOP! OR I'LL SAY STOP AGAIN!

Lord Marcovan and Sir ClarkofKent drag Sir Anaconda from the Hall

--Silence--

Sir Compucheap: (gleefully) THE SQUIRE DCAMFRANKLIN IS A FESTERING BOIL!!!!!!!!
All: BWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

The Lady Coinboard enters the hall. Attended by the fair Princess Lucy of Bop

Lady Coinboard: Good morning court!
All: (wildly enthusiastic) Good morning Lady Coinboard!!!!!!
Princess Lucy of Bop: (winking) Mornin' boys...

The Hall erupts with wolf whistles, sword fights, crashing beer steins, wrestling matches, and mayhem from all

King ArtR: (seated, smiling broadly) Now that's more like it!

mbbiker

another great monday morning

KlectorKid

... words can not describe

halfnut

Wow as I sit in front of the computer doing the work of the Goverment I look forward to Mondays with hope of a great tail for Sir Clank, and once again my day is is complete. And low and behold I did manage to come out from under my rock to make an apperance, It takes a great scribe or bribe for me to come out. Thanks Sir Clank again for a great treat.

coinguy1

Clankeye,

Thank you for another Monday's round of great enjoyment and laughs AND for not having me be-headed (thus far, at least)!


I believe that the soon-to-be immortal words of Sir Agentjim007 (Me thinkest I shall puketh!) now rival those of Squire Airplanenut (cool).

nwcs

Ahh, it is wonderful to have been promoted from a mere plebian to a page to a squire and now a knight! Just wait till people find out what NWCS really stands for! MWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA

rkfish

Clankeye,

You've done it again! Wonderful Monday reading!

Bear

Lord Crank - I sitteth on my chair and laughter rolleth from my lips as peals of thunder

from the sky. My coffee doth spouteth from out my flared nostrils and my belly doth

roll and shake with unabashed mirth. Truly, the Bard of the Forum

hath created a world upon which to encompass all manner of ninnies, nincompoops,dolts, dunderheads,

poppinjays, rapskallions, wippersnapers and codgers. In short, thou hast created a place for each and

every one who existest and liveth within thy Forum. Well done O noble Bard.

Russ

Ah, I was wondering who was to blame for the transformation in to Sleepy Hollow around here.

Russ, NCNE

Cam40

Thou hast penned yet another masterpiece.
All Hail Sire Clankeye.

1907Quarter

jolly good. It taketh the irrepressible Lucy(Mae West)Bop to save the day!

Clankeye

<< <i>Lucy(Mae West)Bop >>



1907--
You have captured perfectly what my vision of Princess Lucy of Bop would be like. A medieval Mae West.

Lady Coinboard: (looking at Lucy's ring) My goodness, that's a big diamond!
Lucy of Bop: (wink) Goodness had nuthing to do wit it, sweetheart.

remumc

Clankeye,

You are a true wonder! I'm starting to look forward to Mondays, and I used to really hate Mondays worse than an ACG AT coin. Thanks, I'll stay tuned. Same Clank time, same Clank forum!

Regards,

Wayne

SMACK!


Thats a BIG HepKitty Kiss!

ROFL. Funniest yet.

Ripeth him a new one ?? They had such a way with words in the old days...LOL

dorkkarl

sir loin of pork

JeffinMich

lol. When I read these posts to myself, I find that I am hearing the heavy Brittish accent from the midevil times, and even imagining the clothing of the period. Geez, I need to go buy some coins on eBay.

airplanenut

Me liketh!

mdwoods

You outdid yourself again Clankeye. Well done. I'm grinning as I type. Thanks your dudeship! mdwoods

coinrookie

What a forum. Coin knowledge and a lesson in English history. We need some more rogues though. Maybe the guy on the shopping channel could be Sir Fleecealot.

dpoole

Wow, Clankeye, that one is about as deft as it gets!

Merry, there be entrails of profound meaning in what thou hast enscribest!

cosmicdebris

Thoust hast done well my good sir.

ClarkOfKent

I've been thinking all week that someone better start a flame-war, or Clank might take the week off.

Clank, you've managed to turn an uneventful week into one of your best efforts so far! Excellent.

I couldn't help but notice that this is the second edition in which I've helped drag someone off.... not sure how to take that...

Clankeye

Clark--

It's a setup for my new Vampire series, which will star you as Count Dragemoff. It will be brimming with sex, debauchery and gratuitous violence. Needless to say, it will be totally about coins.

Clank

<< <i>Needless to say, it will be totally about coins. >>



Throw in some slabs. Never heard from Sir Slabalot.

Cameron Kiefer

Great stuff Clankeye. Well done.
Thanks.

ANACONDA

"The crowd parts and out steps Sir Anaconda. He is dressed in the finest armour, with lovely plumage cascading from his helmet."

I liked that part.

The rest.....well.........pretty funny.

I can get all of that by watching either the Channel 4 News, or the Open Forum.

MrLee

An excellent tale, sire. Most excellent.

CLASSICS

and the crowds stood shoulder to shoulder just to get a look as his lordship passed, the flutes play,and the drums pounded, and all became merry with great joy, and yet, silence befell them all when a voice could be heard from the tower, off with his head, off with his head. his lordship cast his eyes to the tower, whats this i here?, it is nothing sire they claimed, just the cry of the troll that tried to invade us when the moon was full. what say ye, bellowed the king to all his loyal subjects ...off with his head...off with his head...they cried. and the flutes played and the drums drummed, and all was well within the kingdom of coinalot once more..

ursabear

Forsooth and forthwith - rippeth a new one

I was feeling a bit anxious this week waiting to see the next episode - especially since it was such a slow week...

Clankeye, you are unique and wonderful, a treasure in the most sincerest of meanings.

Thank you!

Jimmy Bear

Clankeye

Hey Jimmy--
Hey! You spelled "rippeth" correctly and I didn't. Love that edit feature though!

You guys are too nice to me. I'm going to make my wife read some of things you say. Maybe she'll talk to me again after knocking the Christmas tree over yesterday.... oops.

Adrian, thanks for being a good sport.

Clankeye

Dear Mrs. Clankeye,

If you should happen to read any complimentary / kind words directed at your husband by others, here, please be aware that serious money changed hands in order to produce that result.

I, however, was not bribed and will speak the truth about him and his "contributions" to this forum.....

He brings us many smiles and laughs, along with sincere words and thoughts, on a wonderfully consistent basis. Thank you for letting him join us here.

I laugheth mirthfully. Thou hast stricken my funnybone mightily.

Hast thou perchance partaken of spirits prior to penning this missive?

Methinks I shall be off to calculate the speed of light... in furlongs per fornight.

RLinn

I'm going to have to start coming in to the office on Mondays.

Clankeye, you are truly a scribe's scribe.

Take us on a mounted crusade......pleaseeeeeeeee.

Bear

RLINN - you cant use the word crusade............It makes the Arabs angryand uneasy.

robertpr

Cool! I missed this one. To the topeth!

toners

Thanks for brightning up the board, sex and coins sounds like a good mixeth for the fothcoming episode. So taketh it away Clankeye.
Allen

RegistryCoin

rofl. Excellent.

Clankeye

Hey, this is great! Someone dragged out last week's episode, and people are thinking it's this week's episode. Excellent!!!!!!

Knave Clank

michael

me thinks i like this thread!!

lol

sincerely michael

Bear

The repeats should be titled" Classic Classroom Tales". Untill your new work of literary achievement

is available, we will just reenjoy last weeks masterpiece.

coinguy1

Clankeye, me thinks a few people might not know better, but that most of us do.

To those who do not yet realize it : Clankeye still owes us a new episode this week (if not today)! And, it will star Jay/Wisconsin, our very own contest winner/board member. It has recently been said of him and I quote "By the way, have I told you recently of "your intelligence, wit, and obvious numismatic genius?"

Clankeye

I like your suggestion, Bear. And thank you michael and registrycoin.

You know, since someone did mention not being able to find last week's episode to me... if you are looking for any of the old ones, just go up to "search" at the top of the thread page, type in good morning class... and they all show up. I would not do this without adult supervision, though.

Clankeye

Clankeye

That's two, Mark. You still owe Jay one more.


Clank

1jester

Very funny! Thanks, Clank!

IrishMike

Well heck it is Monday and this thread seemed topical.

JrGMan2004

A good one... y'know, I don't think I've appeared in Coinalot... But then, I haven't been around here that long...
