  • Dick has the touch with that darn antique camera of his! And for the record- Your Morgans rocks without his pics!!! I would love to see them in the flesh!
    I'm actually not kidding guys and gals! I love to entertain! As long as you're not afraid of my Great Dane and Great Pyr, strong ale, lots of food and laughs.....you'd all be welcome! Yankee Coin Swaps are a blast, too!

    I'm always amazed at the number of creative threads that get posted on this forum, and this is certainly another one of them.

    Last year i had a bunch of forum members over for dinner - TBT, GSAguy and his lovely wife and DrewU. GSAguy brought some of his stunners with him and we had a great time sitting around looking at neat coins and talking about them.

    So, who would i enjoy having over for dinner? Man, that's just too tough of a question.

    Anyone know what has happened to GSAGUY??
    Have not seen him here in quite some time......

    Dinner would be a toss up......between Mark Feld and Mike DeFalco......
    Probably Mike.....he loves to talk fishing and coins!image Sorry Mark.......

    Hey thanks to the guys that invited me over for supper. And if you can't cook the all-u-can-eat buffet at Shoneys will be just fine.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Just too many to pick.

    Some just wouldn't work at all.

    A Dog and a Tree.

    A Bear and a Fish.

    Lucy, Russ & DCAM.

    A Snake is probably the best bet.

    At my house, I'd like to see/join Mitch and Michael for breakfast, and what would probably turn into lunch, dinner and midnight snack.
    I'm not sure I'd get a word in edgewise, but probably wouldn't want to. I can cook though... image
    ps. I know you said "ONE", but I cook too much food... image

    If I could pick one living non board member, it would be with out a doubt Q David Bowers.

  • K6AZ,

    So we could discuss details of a certain sub-standard grading company. image
  • I have dinner with a board member every night. try to guess who.

    I would have dinner with Clankeye the Royal Bard. He would tell me

    his wonderful stories about Coinalot. I in return would serve an appetizer of

    giant tiger prawns, a green salad, Baked Lobster (21/2 lbs), String beans almondine and a nice mello

    bottle of Merlot.

    I would end the meal with a hot cup of Earl Gray tea , and for desert a nice mello hunk of swiss cheese,

    fruit and more stories of Coinalot.

    Julian first, David Hall second (although David it was close, and many years ago I was invited by one of staff to have dinner with at least one of your staff the next time I was in LA (not clear if you may have come too) at that time I would visit a friend in Malibu, CA several times a year).

    That's easy, I'd invite Ira. He's my hero...I'm going to use his toilet picture as my screen saver.

  • Thought about this quite awhile. There are several folks that I would like to meet in person from this board. The list is long and trying to write it would only lead to edits to add more. Thus I will state: if you are in Coeur d'Alene ID stop by my shop and say Hi. If we hit it off then dinner is in the offing - on me and probably at my place. If you like river fishing, let me know in advance of your arrival and I will take a day off and show you a local hotspot or two.

    Man does not live on coins alone. Some times it takes an hour to a day of fishing to put things into their proper perspective.

    Over for dinner? aswimmer - he's the only one who has proved to me he can really cook, and he could bring with him the promised coin that was sent out for grading and should be ready to view by now.
  • After having a whole day thinking about this, I would rent out Emerils in New Orleans and invite everyone!! You will be required to wear your icon on your visitor card so I know who you are. That is except Lucy Bop, Ken, and Ira. Of course you Guys and Dolls are gonna have to chip in on the bill!! image

    I would invite BarberHalf over for dinner. It would be this troll's last supper, let me tell ya. First, I would make him study a dictionary for a few hours, then I would simply kick his a$$ for being such a dumb $hit. There would be no need for eating since I plan to slap the taste out of his mouth as soon as I see him/it. End of dinner.
  • Harumph!! Harumph!!
    Just let me know if you need any help!!!image

    I'd invite Dog97 just to find out how the rest of his date with Carol went.

    I see the names have expanded beyond those who are members of this forum. After the fact I learned in an email from Don Kagin (who for all I know may in fact participate here under some other name or identity) that he and I actually shared dinner together - at least under the same tent - as we both were attending the same reunion party at Northwestern University last Fall . It was a combined event for various of the graduating classes. (Don remains the world's authority on Territorial coins and reportedly holds the only Ph.D in Numismatics ever given by an American University, which in a positive way qualifies him as the only genuine coin "doctor" around.)

    I couldn't just invite one person, no way Daddy-o! I would invite the whole crew, and the Rockabilly would be playin', I would hire Omar & the String Poppers, and the joint would be jumpin'! The Hepcats would be Boppin' without ever stoppin! Everyone whose anyone would make the scene, all the Mommy-o's would have their cat clothes on and ready to rock...

    all the Crazy image would bring thier coins........

    Any Sox and Pats fan is more than welcome. New England Patriots football, Red Sox baseball, and coins -- what better dinner conversation could one ask for? Here's to nepbrs, mrhalfdime, kim, and I'm sure there are many others!
