Clankeye's stories suck!

coinguy1 · May 28, 2003 1:10AM

More later.

zenny · May 28, 2003 1:14AM

are you implying that perhaps he needs more practice?

that perhaps one a week just doesn't keep him sharp?

IrishMike · May 28, 2003 1:20AM

Hey Mark, this topic is OT.

Dog97 · May 28, 2003 1:21AM

You suck!

Clankeye · May 28, 2003 1:26AM

Here is the real story why The Archbishop of Coinguy1 is so bitter.

Two days ago Mark called me and asked me to go in half with him on buying an elongated penny machine. He wanted to start a business called "Coin and Clank's Penny Pull."

I of course thought this was a ridiculous idea, and a sure money loser.

Coinguy was very disappointed to say the least.

Hence, this sad thread.

Clankeye

coinguy1 · May 28, 2003 1:26AM

This thread is off topic and it sucks.

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 1:48AM

So the truth comes out. Coinguy1, was this a done deal?

If it was not understood as a done deal, then Clankeye doesnt suck!
If you have in writing that it was a done deal, than Clankeye might, by definition, suck.
Now to the point of whether or not Clankeyes stories suck, I did some research referencing Roberts Rules of Order, and my Funk

and Wagners Encyclopedia. I also called my old Archbishop, in all cases, A persons work does not automatically suck by virtue of the person sucking. So there you go!

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2003 1:51AM

I of course thought this was a ridiculous idea, and a sure money loser.

Probably true ..... but an enlongated Franky machine ............. hmmmm!

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 1:52AM

That Sucks!

Zerbe · May 28, 2003 1:55AM

Be BOPA LULA, more long frankies for me.

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 1:57AM

Zerbe and Tradedollarnut are getting close to that suck stuff

Clankeye · May 28, 2003 1:58AM

Hey Zerbe--

Coinguy1 specifically said there was this guy Zerbe out there who would buy everything we could stretch. "Every single one!" he cried, "The guy's crazy and he's loaded!"

I'm sorry to reveal PM's, Mark. But, you started this.

Clankeye

Crazy like a cat! You forget that he has personal experience with the West Coast's finest coin veterinarian! A little dab here, a little doo there ... and walaa, good as new!

Except the Frankies - those are better elongated!

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 2:02AM

o.k. now, see what happened here----->

Clankeye · May 28, 2003 2:06AM

Mark also said "And you know TDN will jump all over having the Finest Known Elongated Trade Dollar collection! How can it miss?????!!!!"

Madmonk-- that picture's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

Clankeye

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2003 2:11AM

Cool!

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 2:11AM

<< Madmonk-- that picture's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

Clankeye >>

I'll have you know that it is the finest Stretched Frankie in existence 1952-S MS66 Full Stretch!

Zerbe · May 28, 2003 2:13AM

No thanks Clank ! No coin cosmetology or coin con concoksions for me !!

IrishMike · May 28, 2003 2:24AM

With all this talk of elongation, this thread is picking up the flavor of a spam email and it really sucks.

barberlover · May 28, 2003 2:26AM

Mark, if you stick a Barber half in that machine and we go to war !!!

coinguy1 · May 28, 2003 2:38AM

<< A little dab here, a little doo there ... and walaa, good as new! >>

TDN - are you working on a new, updated slogan for "Brylcream" ? (Brylcream, a little dab'll do ya Brylcream you look so debonair. The gals will all pursue ya. They'll love to get their fingers in your hair).

nwcs · May 28, 2003 2:44AM

The problem is that pretty soon there will be all these imitators of elongation and you'll have Artificial Elongation. Sad, sad state of affairs.

coinguy1 · May 28, 2003 2:58AM

Hey, guys, let's not get off topic from this off topic thread. I realize that Sir Carl of Clank, as is his style, changed the topic in order to lead you astray.

Let's hear about how badly Clankeye's stories suck!

MadMonk · May 28, 2003 3:03AM

Clankeyes stories....

Imagine if you will.
A needle,
the length of your arm,
entering the gum.

I Love Clankeyes stories

Zerbe · May 28, 2003 3:10AM

I agree, because I never got to see Lucys' Frankies. I think pictures are now in order for Clankeyes' future tales.

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2003 3:15AM

Frankly, his stories suck because there's never a trade dollar in them!

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2003 3:19AM

Perhaps:

Putty, a little dab'll do ya Putty, you'll make 'em a millionaire. But.. the grading gods will sue ya. They'll love to finally put you in "the chair".

Clankeye · May 28, 2003 3:19AM

The only thing Trade dollars are good for is stretching.

Stretch those trade dollars! Pull 'em like taffy!

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2003 3:20AM

Zounds! To the rack with 'em!

MacCoin · May 28, 2003 3:23AM

heck I come to the puter monday morning just to read Clankeyes storie. I don't thiink they suck at all. I think it sucks to post a thread that says they suck. dog97 is right you suck

shylock · May 28, 2003 3:25AM

Mark's a penny pincher?

MadMarty · May 28, 2003 4:05AM

As long as he's not pulling his Frankie!

Catch22 · May 28, 2003 4:06AM

Elongated coins are sooooo out. The real money is in Buffalo Nickel belt buckles.

I always judge Numismatists and wannabe Numismatists on whether or not they wear one.

oreville · May 28, 2003 6:29AM

I am among many posters here who were excluded from most of the stories and now have contacted SAG (Screen Actors Guild). We are now forming a union chapter.

Perhaps Dwight (Manley) can give us some advice on how to proceed.

jeffnpcb · May 28, 2003 6:36AM

YEAH, SO WHAT" YOUR POINT!!!!

cosmicdebris · May 28, 2003 6:44AM

You can pull all the liteside stuff you want.

Baley · May 28, 2003 6:48AM

I am still waiting for an appearance of pmc1nic, billjones, or dheath as the voice of reason. coinguy1 would be another excellent choice but I think I have seen him appear in coinalot before?

Clankeye · May 28, 2003 7:10AM

Voice of reason?

On this forum?

Clankeye

nwcs · May 28, 2003 7:11AM

OPPOSITE DAY!

ClarkOfKent · May 28, 2003 7:11AM

There's an Elongated Frankie machine not far from my house. We call it the railroad track.

marcmoish · May 28, 2003 12:13PM

now we're really runing off coarse...........Mark why are Clankeye's stories the kind that sucketh ?

I dare say you are the only fiend with nary a fine word for Carl the Clank of our Eye - I say you get shot by the fearless Bear next time around ---- hmmm are you trying to get a cameo appearance?

Marc

cladking · May 28, 2003 12:42PM

Toss 'em on the cart and ban 'em all.

DHeath · May 28, 2003 1:12PM

In deferrence to Bailey, who obviously is both sophisticated and tasteful, I see only one way to resolve this dispute. We should flip a coin. Anybody got one? (none of that two-headed darkside stuff!)

coinguy1 · May 29, 2003 12:18AM

OK, here are some (but not all) of the reasons why Clankeye's stories suck:

1) He usually only provides us with one per week, if that.

2) They are not long enough.

3) They are too darned funny.

4) They are too darned clever

5) They are too darned observant

5) They are too darned entertaining.

I could go on and on with more complaints but that should give you a good idea as to why I despise them so.

One more thing - MORE PLEASE!

MacCoin · May 29, 2003 12:34AM

that was a bad thing to say about Clankeyes stories now you are trying to kiss up Shame on you

coinguy1 · May 29, 2003 12:38AM

MacCoin,

My initial post was in complete jest. Clankeye knew it - I discussed it with him when I wrote it. I consider him a friend and have always loved his stories.

Zerbe · May 29, 2003 12:46AM

I think it is possible the next Clank Tale will focus on a 'Dungeon', 'Coinguy', ' Lucy ' and ' Frankies ', maybe even elongated frankies.

RegistryCoin · May 29, 2003 12:48AM

Those goofy Star Search Shows on TV:
appear more than once a week.
are definately long enough.
Aren't too darn funny.
Aren't too darn clever.
Aren't too darned observant.
Aren't too darned entertaining.
Would you prefer...???

ps. With regard to the increased interest in elongated coins, the US Mint is considering an LBJ coin... The Elongated Johnson should be a big hit!

MacCoin · May 29, 2003 12:49AM

a post titled

<< Clankeye's stories suck! >>

sure don't make you look good.

sounds like flaming to me.

The last four I just can't agree with. So long as no one dies laughing they
aren't really too funny. Oh sure I've had some minor injuries but it's well
worth it. Even I can follow most of the events in the stories and spot many
of the references. Everybody is free to pick out as much as he's able to un-
derstand. Isn't this really much like life itself.

The first two points I'm in full agreement with. I have no idea what to do about
it since it seems to be an issue between Clank and his muse. (not to mention
his other responsibilities). Perhaps we can take Monday mornings off so he can
create without the distraction of the boards.

The stories don't suck in the least but their brevity and infrequency might make
one puketh sometimes.

Clankeye's stories suck!
