this evening? Kept me awake laughing 2 years ago... "Looking for a Rat coin"
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."

    Well, Don did say "no" to alts, so it is doubtful.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    All the bongo bongo quotes I could copy and paste.............on that special evening....enjoy!!!


    IF YOU BUY WHAT YOU LIKE, AT A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD AT THE TIME, THEN THINGS WILL BE EASIER

    IF YOU BUY WHAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE, BORROW TO FUND IT AND EXPECT MULTIPLES OF RETURN, THEN YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE UNHAPPY

    BONGO SAY NEARLY EVERYTHING DEPRECIATES OVER TIME. BONGO WOULD NOT PAY $500 FOR A SILVER BELL THIS XMAS AND EXPECT IT TO BE WORTH $550 NEXT YEAR. BUT BONGO KNOW A SILVER BELL IS NOT OLD COIN OR IS IT?

    BONGO MAYBE NOT SURPRISED THAT OLD COIN IS LIKE ANY OTHER LIMITED NON ESSENTIAL COMMODITY AND SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF TASTE AND MARKET.

    PUT THE COIN IN BOOK AND ENJOY IT.

    IF IT IS WORTH MORE WHEN YOU COME TO SELL IT, WELL DONE

    IF NOT, THEN YOU HAVE HAD ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT.

    REMEMBER THAT OLD COIN IS ONLY WORTH FEW DOLLARS IN PHYSICAL MATERIAL VALUE - THIS IS WHY VALUE IS AN ESOTERIC CONCEPT IN MANY WAYS AND IT MAY BE VULGAR TO ASSIGN ANY MONETARY VALUE TO OLD COIN UNLESS YOU ARE A RUSSIAN OLIGARCH OR CHINESE SHODDY GOODS FACTORY OWNER

    I replied: Hey Bongo, is your CapsLock Key stuck????


    BONGO SORRY AND REPEAT WHAT BONGO SAY IN OTHER THREAD.

    BONGO AWARE OF BIG LETTERS

    BONGO HAS MADE HIS DISPLEASURE OF BROKEN KEYBOARD KNOW TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT BONGO'S CHRISTMAS WISH FOR NEW GOES UNANSWERED.

    BONGO SORRY AND ASK GROUP FOR PERMISSION TO CONTINUE TYPE BIG LETTERS

    His first alt was ahooka454. I don't think BONGO BONGO would mind so much if this came out.

    I'm not sure about Turtle. That was before my time, plus the name used with stinkinlincoln, ahooka and BONGO BONGO wasn't Justin. I know of one other alt, but didn't know about copperfan.

    Not for sure, but I did notice CJ's underinflated bald retread tires as he hurtled away from dinner tonight. Not that that proves anything, of course.

    Time sure flies. I can't believe it's been 5 1/2 years for his one and only appearance. That was a night to remember - and I still do.

    Besides the BONGOBONGO stuff, I miss Clankeye's great stories as well.

    And there was a great bit bushmaster8 once did that was a hilarious parody about MadMarty's rubber chicken. I think it was called "Interview with MadMarty's Chicken". It was written when things were a lot more fun and a little more lax around here.

    I tried to find that one once but could not so I contacted bushmaster about its whereabouts and he replied that he had deleted it because if someone were to TTT the interview, the author (bushmaster) would likely get bammed as well as the innocent that TTT'ed it.

    Ironically, bushmaster got bammed anyway for some other offense even though he made that proactive effort to comply with the new rules.
