Mrs. Coinboard: Good morning class!
All: Good morning Mrs. Coinboard!
Mrs. Coinboard: Class, today I’m going to do something new. I'm going to divide the class in half!
Airplanenut: Cool.
Fatman: How come?
Mrs. CB: Because half of you are bugging me, dear.
Fairlaneman: Which half?
Mrs. CB: The half of you that have new lunch boxes, dear.
Cladking: What's wrong with new lunch boxes?
Mrs. CB: Well... l'll let Hamstaconda explain...

All eyes turn to the class pet Hamstaconda. He climbs into the hamster wheel in his cage and starts to run furiously. The wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning madly

Mrs. Coinboard: What Hamstaconda is saying dears, is that mixing with people who have new lunch boxes is frustrating. It's time consuming and ultimately leads nowhere. ...Just like his hamster wheel.

--Silence--

DHealth: (hurt) You don't like my lunch box, Mrs. Coinboard?
Mrs. CB: Oh... NSYNC rules, dear. But, nothing beats a classic like Trime's Bonanza lunch box! Look-- it's even got Adam on it!
Michael: yes, yes, yes, classic... lol!
Darktone: Are you saying people with new lunch boxes aren't as smart as people with old lunch boxes Mrs. Coinboard???
Mrs. CB: On no, dear! I don't have to. The lunch box says it all.
Shirohniican: This could lead to class warfare!
mnmcoin: (frantically waving his hand) Mrs. Coinboard, I pray every night for an old lunch box!
Monstavet: I'm gonna chunder.

RegistryCoin: So who's to say what's a new lunch box and what's an old one?
Mrs. CB: I am, dear. I'm the teacher.
Supercoin: Is mine a new one?
Mrs. CB: Christina Aguilera? --YES! And put some duct tape over that. Dirty, dirty lunch box!
Rotts: Is mine new?
Mrs. CB: PLONK!
Wallstreetman: Whaddabout mine?
Mrs. CB: That's a brown paper bag, dear.
Wallstreetman: (wrinkling brow) ...oh.
LucyBop: The Hepkitty's Elvis lunch box is BE-BOP-A-LULA!!!!
Mrs. CB: Unfortunately dear, it's a copy.
MadMarty: How about my Mr. Potato Head???
Mrs. CB: Harshly cleaned. With banana residue.
Lori: My Brady Bunch?
Mrs. CB: It’s been re-painted dear... The color’s not original.
Askari: What about foreign lunch boxes Mrs. Coinboard?
Mrs. CB: (scolding) And us on the brink of war! Thank the lord you Darksiders have already been corralled!

The door to the class bursts open and in strolls Marshall Bear.

Marshall Bear: HOWDY COINPOKES!!! Somebody say "Corral?"
Ol’ Marshall Bear's been corralling every coin he kin get his grubs on!
Lakesammman: What kind of lunch box you packin' Marshall Bear?
Marshall Bear: Lunch box? ...what the hell kind a question is that?
Singapore: Some of us would like to know.
Zerbe: (squinting) Yeah, Marshall.
Marshall Bear: (shuffling feet) Lunch box... well, I got me both kinds...
Dog97: Yeah...?
Marshall Bear: Um... got a Gunsmoke one! JAMES ARNESS! Don't make 'em like that anymore!
Barberlover: What else...?
Marshall Bear: (quietly) I got a Teletubbies one--

BLAM!!! A shot rings out and the Marshall goes down.

Marshall Bear: Doggone it, Clank! It ain't fair! I just got a sombrero full-a new coins!
Clankeye: (sobbing) Fair's got nothing to do with it, Bear.

ClarkofKent comes forward and takes the Teletubbies lunch box from the body of Marshall Bear. He opens it--coins spill out

Mr. Eureka: (jumping up) EUREKA!!! Look! Old coins from a new lunch box! Don't you see??? DON'T YOU SEE WHAT MARSHALL BEAR WAS TRYING TO TEACH US EVEN IN DEATH??????!!

--Silence--

Mr. Eureka: (impassioned) In his wisdom, in his Bear-like way, the old Marshall was saying that none of us should be judged by outward appearances! Not by what we may look like ON THE OUTSIDE!! NOT BY WHAT WE COLLECT, OR WHAT KIND OF LUNCH BOX WE MAY HAVE! HE'S SAYING WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE NEED TO LOVE EACH OTHER!!!!!

Marshall Bear leans up on his elbow and manages to squeeze off a shot. Down goes Mr. Eureka.

Marshall Bear: (dying) Thanks for that one, Clank.

Like a whisper, he is gone

And as we wave goodbye to our little classroom, in the town of Coinville, in the state of Cointucky, in the great US of Coin, we hear NumisEd gently say…

NumisEd: Kiss my lunch box, Coinboard!

All: BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Clankeye, I can see it now - we will soon need a C.U. Lunchbox forum (maybe two different ones, even) after that!

    Are you saying that Anaconda never really gets anywhere? image

    As usual, great and far too short!

    Cool, growing up I had a Rawhide lunchbox (very early 60s), I guess I get to stay with the old lunchbox crowd.

    Does this mean Hamstaconda puts SPIN on things ????

    All joking aside folks, I think that there is an important message in Clankeye's skillfully written short story: we must all have appreciation for each other's collecting passions. It really doesn't matter that one person collects moderns while you only collect classics. You should simply appreciate that we have a common bond........our love of coins (old or new). This hobby is a fraternity of people collecting little metal discs that most of the world does not understand. To non-coin collectors, numismatists are whack-jobs that are obsessed with inanimate metal slugs with dates on them (sometimes). We must stick together and learn to love each other and our varying collecting interests.

    That being said, modern collectors can Kiss My A$$!
  • ClankeyeClankeye Posts: 3,928 ✭
    NumisEd, I dare say that is the most enjoyable post I have ever read of yours.

    I tip my lunch box to you, sir.

    Hey Clankeye, I said "what else???" I don't get it, but i'm sure it was funny, [i think] barberlover
    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    Okay, okay... smprfi, no more shooting Bear. I call a moratorium on it. Bear hunting season is now closed.

    Let it be known the rest of you are still fair game. image

    What a great way to address the continuing saga about splitting up this forum. Good job, Clankeye.
    I find wisdom in your satire. One of the great things about an Internet forum is it's ability to draw
    people together that share common interests. To divide these common interests into sub-groups
    based upon a person's knowledge or lack thereof is nearsighted and benefits no one, especially
    if the ultimate objective of this forum is the dissemination of numismatic knowledge.

    Johnny--
    I almost put AgentJim007 in there arguing the term is to "puketh"
    but, Monstavet himself used the very phrase "I think I'm gonna chunder" in a thread this week. Must have spent some time Downunder.

    I love the term chunder. Kudos to Monstavet!
