Somewhere, in some city, someone, is sitting silently... waiting for their next customer. Why it's Carolj--owner/operator of the famous travel agency The Flying Coin! A customer enters...
Customer: Howdy, Miss!
Carolj: (cheery) Well hello, sir! How can I help you?
Customer: Name's Bear! I hear your firm caters to the coin collector when planning vacations. And... bein' a coin collector I sure could use one. Contentious hobby, ain't it?
Carolj: Oh yes, Mr. Bear. Full of angry little bees! Well... I have three vacation plans I could offer you...
Bear: Let's hear 'em, Sugarlips!
Carolj: Well, you could go to Coinsmoke....
Bear: Coinsmoke? What happens there?
Carolj: In Coinsmoke you go back to the Old West. While there, a rabid coin dealer who looks like Yul Brenner harrasses you non-stop to buy an MS69 ACG state quarter!
Bear: What happens if I don't?
Carolj: Someone else buys it!
Bear: Yeah?
Carolj: ...and then he kills you.
Bear: Oh. ...what else you got?
Carolj: Well, you could choose our Pirates of the Coinibbean package!
Bear: Now you're talking! Haaarrrr! What happens?
Carolj: You join a creaky ship load of crotchity old coin collectors as they roil about on a churning sea and complain bitterly! ...all the while talking like Pirates! Fun, yes????
Bear: Tempting... what else?
Carolj: Lastly we have Coinalot an old favorite!
Bear: Do tell...?
Carolj: In Coinalot you get to join KingArtR and his merry men. While there you could be banned by The Sheriff of Homerun Hall, or have your head cut off and catapulted over the walls of the Kingdom!
Bear: Why would I want my head cut off?
Carolj: If you spent enough time there, I think you'd appreciate at least having the option.
Bear: Uh-huh.... that's all you got?
Carolj: At the moment, yes.
Bear: (picking up a pamphlet) Well what about this one here--
Cladking's Cottage... an exciting endless conversation in defense of moderns!
Carolj: All booked sir, sorry!
Bear: --- What about this one... The Legends of Laura-- a tour of famous gravesites of dealers who crossed Laura Sperber. That sounds fun!
Carolj: Booked up years ago.
Bear: What about Hall's Hayride!!!--an authentic hayride in an old wagon filled with fellow collectors singing the praises of modern coins!
Carolj: (whispering) I don't think you could afford it....
Bear: (getting agitated) Well heck!
(stomping) I WANNA GO SOMEWHERE!!!!!
There is a small puff of smoke and Bear disappears. He is now in a strange room. It is pitch dark. He is momentarily disoriented
Bear: (calling out) Wh---Where the Hell am I?????
All of a sudden the lights go on! Standing there wearing nothing but a multi-colored Speedo and a blue sock is MadMarty
MadMarty: OH THANK GOD!! A FRIEND!!! AT LAST A FRIEND!!!
Bear screams as Marty and Speedo advance toward him.
Customer: Howdy, Miss!
Carolj: (cheery) Well hello, sir! How can I help you?

I think bear would have been better off hibernating.
We ARE watching you.
BTW - the thing about the speedo is true. I heard about it from a dealer.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
You know me. I never make stuff up.

Only Bear and Marty know for sure.

I'm not even going to go there!

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I wonder if the Pug What Smokes Cigars has any experience in these matters?

I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

Rumor has it that he got all of his frankies at a coin shop high up in the Rocky Mountains.

Is that why he calls them his Rocky Mountain Oysters, Mike?

Must be the blue sock.
You really know how to paint a picture sir.
Though not a Coke-spray-through-the-nose funny, I rate this episode a Coke-in-the-windpipe-coughing funny.
Thats still a high rating too.
And I wont go into the deconstruction of this one. Not with a Ten-Foot-Pole.....
<< <i>Though not a Coke-spray-through-the-nose funny, >>
Easy for you to say, your not wearing the speedo and the blue sock!!!!
The mult-colored Speedo is Marty's Superhero outfit. He has become a crime fighting, speedo wearing, one man army of justice... known as-- The Flying Coin!
So criminals, when you hear the battle cry of AU-58 FOREVER!!!!!...you'd better run. Because The Flying Coin is on your trail.
And it ain't gonna be pretty at all.

Can he wear a sock as well as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?
The dealer has now posted it on his website, that's where I saw it. He is offering a 25% discount on all his inventory if you mention Clank's thread!
