Hey Lucy you change your last name?....LOL

ClarkOfKent · January 1, 2003 12:39PM

I've put some thought into this, and I think I've come up with a plausable theory. Picture this:

Bad Dip

It's early afternoon, December 31st. Russ sits hunched over his desk. He tries to keep his mind on his work. He's preparing his latest acquisition of AH's for submission. A large bowl of "Russ's Secret Dipping Solution" sits on the desk in front of him.

"Aaayeee! My Pretty! Surely you will go 8, maybe 9! Is that a bit of frost I see on your devices?"

"Hey! Am I talking to myself?"

"What?"

"I said, 'Am I talking to myself?'"

"Hehehehe! This sure is a pretty little silver disk... I think I love you..."

"Oh man! Now, I'm talkin' to the coin! I'm feeling a little giddy... something's not right here."

Momentarily pulling his gaze from the 'pretty little silver disk', Russ focuses on the bowl before him. A silvery fog rises slowly from the dish, wafting ever-so-slowly directly towards Russ's face.

"This is just like smoke from a campfire... seems to follow me around the room. Wait a minute... I'm not moving. Sure feels like I'm moving... whoa Nellie! I like this!"

"Geez! Am I talking to myself again?"

"Seems awful quiet in here... can't even hear the exhaust fan."

"Exhaust fan? OH!"

It's the next day. Slowly, painfully, Russ raises his head from the desk. The dipping bowl sits on the table, dry as a bone, evaporation having worked it's magic. Next to it is a fresh hole in the desk exactly the size of a half dollar.

"DAMMIT! Another bad rinse! At least the desk didn't catch fire like last time. Man, do I have a headache..."

Looking at his watch, Russ realized he was almost late. He had a date with eBay... there was an AH he intended to snipe away from a CU board member. He couldn't remember which one. It didn't matter. They're all just cannon fodder to him, anyway. Like he's gonna let a mere human, with all those silly feelings, get between him and the Holy Grail. What a bunch of chumps!

His browser is already open to his my eBay page. He refreshes. He refreshes again.

"What the? I didn't bid on any items. What's this doing here?"

"Pep Comics #153 CGC F/VF 7.0 Martian cover??????? What the @#%& is that? I bid $45 on THAT? Who would pay to put THAT in a slab?"

"Oh man... what'm I gonna do? I'm high bidder. Of COURSE I'm high bidder. Who in their right mind would bid ANYTHING for that?"

"I'll cancel my bid. That's what I'll do, I'll just cancel it... tell them I was confused. Yeah, that's it. I was confused. I saw the slab, the F/VF. Simple case of mistaken identity. They'd buy that. The story! The story! They'd buy the story. NOBODY would buy that... that... that slabbed THING!"

"No. No, I can't do that. I placed a bid. I honor my bids. I'll just have to sweat this one out. Surely, someone will outbid me. I mean... there's bound to be somebody somewhere dipping some coins. Maybe a Franklin collector. Yeah... there's probably a boat load of Frankie collectors out there right now preparing some coins for submission."

The hours tick by at a snail's pace. His F5 key is now worn smooth from repeated refreshes... as if he could speed up time if he checked it every five seconds. Ten minutes to go.

"Where are all those damned Franklin collectors? What kind of wimpy dip are they using?"

Beaten, with a slight whimper, Russ's head drops to his lap. A huge tear splats on the floor. Then another. He's as close to the fetal position as he can be without doing a header off the chair. His vision blurs. He can't bring himself to look at the screen... to see his eBay name floating above a "Pay Now" button.

"I'll just pay for it and pretend it never happened. And... and... I SWEAR I'll never dip again! NEVER! Just let me put this behind me... PLEASE!"

He raises his head... steadies his hand, and refreshes one last time.

"BUWAAAAHHAAAAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"

"I wasn't worried for a minute! Now, I needs me a fresh batch of dip!"

Askari · January 1, 2003 12:45PM

Plausible, Clark, quite plausible, really.

Russ · January 2, 2003 1:09AM

Clark,

Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would say more, but I'm a little stoned right now.

Russ, NCNE

ClarkOfKent · January 2, 2003 2:11AM

Sometimes I crack myself up...

Askari · January 2, 2003 2:16AM

He's understudying for Clankeye' role.

mdwoods · January 2, 2003 2:25AM

Sometimes I crack myself up...

Good story, and it could be true, couldn't it???

Askari · January 2, 2003 2:32AM

Hey, Russ!

How many snipes could a LucyBop snipe, if a LucyBop could out-snipe Russ?

ccrdragon · January 2, 2003 2:57AM

Hey Clark - you tryin' to out clank Clankeye?!?!?? That was perfect!

Lucy - you have earned your sniper's stripes for that great snipe - couldn't have happened to a nicer person!

BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

SarasotaFrank · January 2, 2003 2:58AM

ya know, when I read this title, I immediately had this vision of the Peanuts character "Lucy" wiping her mouth with the back of her hand while running in circles screaming "I've been KISSED BY A DOG!!!!!!"

MacCoin · January 2, 2003 3:09AM

LucyBop · January 2, 2003 6:19AM

Flash · January 2, 2003 2:35PM

I'm pretty sure I read that one when I was a kid. Then I threw it in the trash.

LucyBop · January 2, 2003 2:37PM

<< <i>I'm pretty sure I read that one when I was a kid. Then I threw it in the trash. >>

Bummer, had you have been smarter, you could have sold it to me years later.

Flash · January 2, 2003 2:40PM

True, but what did I know? I was just a kid, after all.

If I only knew then what I know now!

LucyBop · January 2, 2003 2:42PM

I threw away alot of Archies too!!! Boo Hoo Hoo!!! I didn't want to admit it.

Bear · January 2, 2003 2:53PM

Hey wait a minute, getting spanked by a girl doesnt sound so bad.

It could be mildly enjoyable.
