    Where is the Kanses one with Cammy's girlfriend?
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • Massachusetts was so ripe for one;

    Bust of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Barney Frank with the motto, "No voters with a spine allowed".


    Or one with Ted Kennedy, a Volkswagon and a bridge with a broken railing with the motto, "If Ted had driven a Volkswagon, he'd have been President". image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Yep they are funny.

    The sad thing is some nice designs for the real state quarters were rejected and the ugly one bacme the state quarter. Look at Florida's quarter. That one is so dull and ugly. There were some beautiful designs like a nice Florida beach at sunset, but were passed over.

    Decided not to beat that dead hore again. (Oops- I meant h-o-r-s-e)


    I'd post the LousyAnna one but I'd be bammed. (It's a gif of a gal flashing for beads)

    ebaytrader,
    Did you create those yourself?

    Also, by smoe (i.e. some more) do you mean there was others posted?

    If there's even more let us know. They are great!

    edit: Duh, I didn't see the mispelling first time around... I thought smoe was intentional slang slingin'. image

    Naww ... probably be more appropriate for Kansas to have a Wizard of Oz motif ... with Dorothy & Toto.

    Tho' I would suspect there are those who would have liked to have the red headed fightin' blue chicken on the reverse ... not that a purple gorilla would've been any better.

  • Thanks....I needed that

  • for a laugh, you need only look at the real quarter from my homestate -- truly designed by a committee, and truly intended to pacify political groups!

    Nah...by far the worse is the state (I forget which one) that pretty much only has its outline on the reverse. Pretty dumb design. I think what happened is the committee figured out they had about two hours left to submit to the deadline and they lost all the better designs, like the ones from the elementary schools, and someone drew an outline of the state and submitted that.
