It is Christmas in Coinalot. All the Trolls are hanging merrily from the trees. The Flames of the fire in the Great Hall burn as brightly as ever. The Citzens of Coinalot gather to receive a Christmas greeting from their beloved King--King ArtR
King ArtR (raising--wearing splended robes) Citizens of Coinalot! Hear me!!!!
All: Hooray! (went the mad throne)
King ArtR: Once again it is that merry time of year--Christmas! A time of forgiving! A time of brotherhood! A time where man's inhumanity to man can be put aside for one brief shining moment!
All: Hooray!
King ArtR: So, it is without further adieu, that I call upon The Archbishop of Coinguy1 to lift us all with a Christmas blessing. Archbishop....
Archbishop Coinguy1: Thank you, King ArtR! I flew all the way from Denver and boy are my arms tired!
---Silence---
Archbishop Coinguy1: No, but seriously folks... it's Christmas time and you all know what that means---
Sir Stewart Blay (shouting) Give us a hint, smart guy!
The Lady Lucy of Bop gives Sir Blay a savage kick to the Frankies.
Lady Bop: Less Frankies for you!
Archbishop Coinguy1: (grimacing) Er... thanks Lady bop! Now... who among you can tell me what important event happens at Christmas? --Sir Russ?
Sir Russ: Um... we quiver under the threat of physical violence?
Archbishop Coinguy1: No.
Sir Russ: Um... we go slaughter peasants--so that next year they'll be less of them?
Archbishop Coinquy1: No.
Sir Russ: We bag on PCGS?
Archbishop Coinguy1: NO. But, close. (holding up his arms) PEOPLE! Every year at this time we all give thanks that we were given the PCGS Proof 70 1963 Lincoln memorial cent! WE GIVE THANKS THAT IT IS HERE!!! Here among us. AND MOST OF ALL WE GIVE THANKS, that we are not the poor schmuck that has $39,000 tied up in it!
Sir Cladking: This benediction breaks from the lips like foul wind!!
King ArtR: Explain, Cladking?
Sir Cladking: It is false! Insincere... it rings of sarcasm and buffonery!
Sir Coc-kney: (leaping to his feet and pointing) BOB'S YER UNCLE!!
Sir Tradedollarnut: It's not a coin--IT'S AN INSERT!
Sir Outhaul: It's not AN INSERT--IT'S AN INSULT!!!!!
Sir BillJones: The alleged coin should be relegated to The Royal Dung Wagon--
Sir Cladking: 'Tis a noble coin. Whose spirit grows with each slander cast against it!!!!!!
The Great Hall erupts into a violent, bloody free-for-all. A teeth-gnashing, head bashing, beer stein smashing good time is had by all.
Later that night King ArtR has a session with Dr. Poole--Royal Head Shrink
King ArtR: (lying down) You see, Poole? We can't even wish each other a Merry Christmas around here without all Hades breaking loose!
Dr. Poole: Has his Majesty considered that it is possibly because he himself is a tin-plated, sawed off little tyrannt with no basic understanding of right or wrong?
---Silence----
King ArtR: (Jumping to his feet) BY THE GODS!!!!! ARM YOURSELF YOU DOG!!
Dr. Poole: (chuckling) Easy! Easy! King ArtR... just a little joke. I'm merely trying to point out how easy it is to be misunderstood on an internet forum. Heh-heh!
King ArtR raises his sword Excoinaber over his head, bringing it crashing down on Dr. Poole.
Half of Doctor Poole goes one way... half the other.
---Silence---
King ArtR: (looking sheepish) Um... sorry. Merry Chistmas?

Thankfully, the writing, brilliant analysis, violence, humor and unsurpassable knowledge of the forum's goings on and wacky personalities, confirms this as a genuine "Good Morning Class" tale.

Russ, I'm sure you see the wisdom in that, don't you.

Sorry to see Dr. Poole go like that. It's always the voices of reason that get cut off.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor

Kranky--in Coinalot there are many, many doctors. A little putty here, a good thumbing there... Dr. Poole can be good as new.
You should know, Kranky. Kranky's Frankies are one of the great success stories of 2003.
Thank you all for the Christmas greetings!

Are Dr. Poole and "Mr. Bill" one and the same? Oooohhhh noooohhhhh
If Sir Bear can be shot time after time....
If MadMarty can be slandered and pierced by the arrows of outrageous fortune...
Well, I think think Dr. Poole can stand being cleaved every now and again.

A good belly laugh is what I really needed after fighting the hoards while out shopping. As far as putting dpoole back together, save the elixer, I've got some super glue and would be happy to mend him. If the sword was good and sharp, should only leave a tiny seam, kinda like a counterfeit cast coin.

Yes, I can understand that. Both are sprawling, historical epics. Each rips at the heart strings, and points out the foibles of mankind in a moving--yet unsentimental--way.
Or maybe it's because I'm handsome like Tom Cruise.

Why do I think Cammy will find a picture of a Christmas tree decorated with trolls.
