The State Quarter Gods have a sense of humor. Except for the South Carolina Quarter God.

Don't that figure? progbear gets an extra Hawaii quarter, and gives it to me, which lets me plug the last hole in my 50 State Quarter Map (which is authentic, as it came with a Certificate of Authenticity), because he felt sorry for me because for months and months I hadn't even seen one, and then when I did it was progbear himself who got it in change when we were having dinner and I asked him if I could buy it but he didn't have one for his map yet.

That was Saturday night. When progbear gave me the Hawaii quarter, not when he didn't.

So it figures that on Sunday I get a Hawaii quarter in change. Ironic, isn't it?

Wait, is that real ironic or just Alanis Morissette ironic?

My mother and one of my nephews have the Quarter Map. I've not been able to land a "Washington" quarter for Mom yet. She' s still got a few to go. Good for you!

HUGS!

What, you were in Washington for how long and didn't nab any? Anyway, no prob, I got plenty, swing on by!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Not a single Washington quarter which, as you suggest, seemed odd since I was in Seattle for 8 weeks! :)

In the future, after the collapse of Western Civilization, states will declare independence from the dead central government and erect barriers on their borders and have little skirmishes as they decline into savagery.

And the only currency each state will allow is their own state quarter.

And I will make a science fiction action adventure movie about a coin collector touring the 50 states trying to get all the quarters.

There ya go! Get going on that script right away and put yourself in the starring role!

HUGS!

Sorry, you'll have to buy a new holder. Shirley you've heard about the extension of the series for DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.?

D'oh!

Those bastards. First they demand taxation without representation and now this!

A glance at the Wisconsin quarter proves that the State Quarter Gods have a big sense of humour. I’d guess the residents of Wisconsin do, too, and a self-deprecating one at that.

Yeah, really, a cow, and some cheese, and corn? This is Wisconsin!

Shoulda been brats 'n' beer.

I don't think they're ironic, at all!

I'm pretty sure they're plated copperic!

Don't be givin' Alanis any ideas, now...

[bearhedded.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure who Alanis Morrisette is...... if she is who I THNK she is, all I'd ever give her is the vacuum cleaner-wand upside the head!


To explain: In the previous costume shop space, we were located in a rundown light-industrial area, which was also rented out to artists.

The bitch above us makes cast glass sculptures, and is a bitch.

She had a dog, whom we could hear moving around, because there were no buffering layers between floors... the boards of her floor were our ceiling, and she was a bitch!

Whenever she watered her plants, she'd spill, and the water would drip on us, and our work.

When she cleaned up the studio after a casting, there was CLOUDS of dust, from the molds, which she'd vacuum, with an industrial model, that had no brush on the head. Just bare metal, which was like nails on a chalkboard, and she was a bitch!

In order to hear the fucking Alanis Morisette album she played over and over and over again, over the scarping, from the already loud vacuum, she cranked the volume UP, and she was a bitch!

I'm beginning to suspect that the bitch above you was a bitch.

And I have a picture in my mind. Kind of horsey face... long, slightly wavy, graying hair, lots of split ends and frizz... wears colorful caftans, the sort of thing very heavy women wear even though she herself is not heavy... talks with her hands... looks above and to the left of your head when she speaks in dulcet tone...

...am I close?

[bearhedded.livejournal.com]

Except for the wardrobe and the gaze!

Stares you str8 iin the eye.... (she manipulated a group of fellow artists to fix up the floor they shared [including a planted rooftop terrace!], then had them evicted, one by one!), and jeans.
