Allan,

It was the Bush Administration thinking we were spying on them because some US military top brass met with some of our top brass and picked up a few of these coins in their change while they were here. If you look at the coins they could look like they could be "spy coins". I thought it was pretty funny.

Like we could learn something from the Bush administration. Good one Ken!! Do I hafta come over there and spike your coke? If you can guess how many of these 3 fingers I'm holding up...damn, that didn't work. I'm going to have to break the seals on my spy coins to see if I can download some intel. Nope, didn't work, just wrecked the quarters trying to find the nano probes....even used my bifocals and magnifying glass....nothin there I tell ya. Gotta get in touch with the Borg and find out how nano technology really works. Then watch out, everyone else will be assimilated. Resistance will only be a word in the dictionary..Senior govt officials: Run, run like the wind. We will track you down with our spy coins.

wolfman, you can block out the military secrets you're hearing by wearing a many layers of alcan foil on your head. Film at 11:00 (I know, really bad pun)

If you need help figuring out the right layering and how much, ask ......Redgoat.......He can hack....into almost anything.........Somehow, he..........figured out my password.....

Look at him gloat.

This only enforces our steel and resolve.
Chimpkind of the winged, amphibious and terrestrial species must unite!!

I just received a radio report from Kong my hairy heroes.
His voice is three octaves higher and he was in tears.
He said he just thought that he was going in for a normal checkup and a swine flu shot. ...sniff...
The next thing you know Dr. Sandy said turn your head and cough and her giggling assistant Allan R. was the last thing he saw, it all went black after that.

Redgoat to Monkey Squadron....hang in there boys....stay loose!!!...over...

I'm losing control!!
going down in flames!!!
I think it's time to bail out of this thread!!!

V is for Vista Victory over Vince !!!.......over
