These are not a bullion investment set. They are uncirculated, and one is a proof. There's only about $40 in silver in both coins combined, but that's not what interests me, as I'm a coin collector (numismatist), and not looking to 'invest' based on silver content. Here's a link to what they look like (but I didn't pay that much because mine came directly from the US mint (and yes, they are legal tender, if you wanted to spend them). In 1998, a two coin set came out of the West Point US Mint (there are mints in San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia and West Point (which handles most of the high end bullion stuff - not for circulation) and a friend of mine sold his (which was in perfect condition) for about $8 G's. Numismatic value, not bullion. It cost him $150 in 1998. But again, I'm a collector, so I'm not really interested in selling them any time soon, I just think they're currently the most beautiful design among current American coins.
Found out my car is governed at 120 mph. Surprising for a Hyundai. Too bad I get horrendous mileage if I go over 90, I can't even take full advantage of the autobahn.
What kind of Hyundai is it? My Ford Fiesta hit 180 km/h (at least, that's what the speedo told me) and frankly that was just for a few minutes to see how fast I could take it. The car just isn't designed to go that fast. I thought it was funny to see the number of people who drive slower than we do in North America on the Autobahn. Speed limit's 130? Driving 110 or 120 suited people just fine.
Probably one of my top favorite scenes of that show. "Gold confers power. Power comes to any man that has the color."
Here is a list of tattoos that are supposed to be bad, but the majority of them are hilarious. <a class="postlink" href="http://deslide.clusterfake.net/?o=html_table&u=http://funnie.st/298148/terrible-tattoos/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://deslide.clusterfake.net/?o=html_ ... e-tattoos/</a> If you're going to get a tattoo, make it really good or really bad. Whoever this girl is, I want to marry her: 11 also gives me hope:
So yeah, I'm like married and shit now. There's definitely an element of confirmation bias, but I think everything went great, the food was all locally grown which appeased both the paleos and vegetarians of which there were many. Weather cooperated despite a grim outlook, no one was too shitty during the reception, but afterwards I passed the fuck out in my bed at 3 AM and accidentally locked my wife out of the room so she had to go to the lobby for a new key, that'll teach her to trust me. Plus we had the groomsmen skydiving the day before the wedding experience, simply awesome. Couldn't have asked for a better time.
Non-sarcastic kid pressure in inevitable. "When are we starting a family? When we start fucking sans birth control. Oh thanks for the salad spinner. It goes great with the other things in the Goodwill bin." Especially you'll see it from Catholics. Fortunately for him he comes from an area with no catholic roots whatsoever. *snicker*
I will never stop finding it weird that people get all interested in flaccid penis size even when they know it doesn't actually mean much.
