Edited to add: DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction. Names and characters (including dogs, bears and other animals) are part of this author's imagination and/or are used facetiously. Any resemblances to actual persons or animals is (possibly) coincidental. image

Acknowledgments : This would not have been possible without the help of you, the forum members, both those mentioned in these stories as well as many, not named or included. A special thank you to Sir Clankeye, who has inspired me with his great sense of humor, gentle ways and exceptional writing. Any good that is found in my stories comes form you, the forum members - thank you. image

Now, on with the story:

PART l

Three dozen security guards are on high alert and strategically scattered around the grounds of David Hall's palatial estate in an undisclosed location FAR beneath ground level.

An equal number of guard dogs (miniature Yorkshire terriers that are each about 4 inches in height and for some strange reason have their jaws wired shut) have been graciously donated by NGC to "protect" Mr. Hall from intruders and from Mrs. Hall. imageimage

Mrs. Hall, you see, has been after David, ever since he decided to speak up on the C.U. forum and since rumors about David and Mrs. Coinboard surfaced. image

Despite the sense of foreboding, this is to be a happy occasion. image David has invited forum members over to eat lasagna, shoot the breeze (the breeze, not each other - calm down everyone! image ), and solve all of PCGS's image problems, along with the psychological problems of certain forum members.

In that vein, 2000 of the world's most respected shrinks will be in attendance - roughly 10 per forum member, sadly not enough but that was all that were available on such short notice. It is estimated that all will be remedied before every single PCGS coin can be cracked out and (along with the plastic and grading labels) burned in the world's largest camp fire.

The invitees begin to arrive in tight armor suits, provided, of course by Sir Clankeye and Accugrade.
Greg M. arrives, hand in hand with The LEGENDary Laura, otherwise known as "Little Miss Know-it-all", Tradedollarnut, a bear, some dogs, some mongrels, weasels, self anointed expert graders and lots of body bags.The gong sounds and Homerunhall, alias, the Wizard, gingerly and on tiptoes, approaches the door.

Stay tuned for part ll, if the forum remains open long enough. image

    BY THE GODS! WHAT MISCHIEF BE THIS???!!!

    The devious Archbishop of Coinguy1 hath stolen my quill? It shall be permitted.

    He is wise and his message is good.

    For the sky is not falling... the mountains shall not be moved... the world will keep on turning... and the wounds shall all be soothed.

    Bear - I might be in trouble, but it probably wont stop the "Marshall" from being shot again.image

    smprfi - I would never attempt the impossible. image

    Clankeye - thank you for your permission and your reassurances about the world at large.image And, if I made you laugh, I must have done ok - thanks.

    Stewart - I'm not yet sure about my role. I'll have to give it some thought......

    Mark,

    My library has room for more that one book. Clank, no disrespect intended, and I hope you will agree. Dam* the daggers, swords, pikers, shooters, (unless they are Cuervo image , right Lucy!) flames, etc. Full speed ahead Mark, I expect part 2 by the time I get finished typing this. imageimage. I salute you for making a very impressive start!

    Regards,

    Wayne

    Wayne and Dan--

    Rest assured I am waiting with the same anticipation and delight us you are for part 2 of Mark's story tomorrow.

    You do know that I taught him everything that he knows? Which I am proud to announce was the closer in his getting his new position at Louie's Coins and Party Favors. Open seven days a week.

    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.

    First POTD 9/19/05!!
