Looks like I'm gonna get bigger guns.

Just realized I passed 3 million mark. ::Pats self on back::

I'll know it's Friday when the spam starts.

Ah, Friday spam is the best spam.

Low salt too boot!

Collector's addition? People actually collect spam cans.. Now there's an odd hobby.

In Hawaii, Spam Musubi (depicted on the can) is an Island favorite.

Looks good too. I'd have slightly less rice on it though.

The recipe varies from one cook to another. I swear, my wife's is the best ever! But I may be a little biased.

I'm going to try it. I might have to Italianize it a bit to get the kids to eat it.

Congrats!

Couldn't see it before. That would make a nice avatar, you just need to reverse the pic so the guns are pointing the other direction.

He has a good point. Wouldn't want to end up on some aliens intergalactic space menu either.

Nice. Are you going to make that your new avatar?

Is it Friday yet?

Hadn't planned on it. I thinks she looked better in the first movie. But I'll need to see more pics as they are released.

What are the odds of finding a 1987 British one pound coin in a parking lot in Delaware? Not very good as I've never even seen one in my life and I just found one yesterday. Now if I could just figure out what "DECUS ET TUTAMEN" means?
It's inscribed on the coins edge along with what looks like a little Christian cross.

Edit: It's Latin for "An ornament and a safeguard". Now I know what the words are but still don't understand what it means.

Now if I could just figure out what "DECUS ET TUTAMEN" means?

Edge inscription: DECUS ET TUTAMEN ("An ornament and a safeguard" – originally on 17th century coins, this refers to the inscribed edge as a protection against the clipping of precious metal. The original appearance of the phrase is attributed to an epic poem by Virgil — "viro decus et tutamen in armis" (Aeneid, Book V, L. 262), describing a piece of armour, a breast-plate interwoven with gold, which was awarded as a prize to Mnestheus.)

Thanks Chris. So it's actually to protect the coin from clipping or shaving off some of the edge.. Makes sense. Did some more googling and found out they used to make them from silver.. Preventing people from clipping silver makes even more sense. I would have to guess this is just a carryover from when the metal was really precious and it's really not needed now.

. . . If the coin has been circulated, it is worth One Pound.

> If the coin is uncirculated or Proof FDC, it will be worth substantially more.


Decus Et Tutamen first appeared on some of the earliest British milled (machine made) coins.

It was intended to reassure users that the edge of the coins had not been clipped,

but could also be taken to mean that the monarch depicted was also an ornament and a safeguard

I play a game with myself I call The Penny Game. The object is to never have more than four pennies at a time, if you have five or more, you lose that round.

The idea is that when you buy something, and you pay with paper currency, you have to give the cashier pennies to avoid ever having more than four pennies at one time. Say an item costs $6.32 and you have three pennies, if you give the cashier a $10 bill and two pennies, you will recieve "silver" coins (70¢) and three ones. If you do not give the two pennies, you'll get $3.68 in change, which includes three pennies; those added to the three you already have in your pocket means you would have six pennies, so you lose.

This gets me lots of "silver" change, which I put in a jar and convert to paper money when I go to Las Vegas. As I get older, I get worse and worse at the game--I tend to forget how many pennies I have in my pocket or if I have any at all.

OK, back to what you were discussing: numismatic trivia, I believe.

Red hair? If you're still showing Amethyne you need to ctrl-f5.
