That "Reagan dime" ad will be what finally makes me shoot the TV out

[Bossy Monkey]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Admittedly it'll be difficult, since I don't have a gun, but I'll manage it somehow. I'll use my Scanners mind power, maybe. Anyway, one more reason to quit watching the History channels, alongside the wall-to-wall Jesus programming lately.

1. I saw that last night.

I almost spilled my beer.

2. What?

I thought they gave up on that after Nancy Reagan said it was a bad idea.

3. This one is a collectors item....it's not an official change...

THANK GOD.

4. A private outfit calling itself the Washington Monetary Authority

The commercial goes on and on about the the "massive public support" for putting Reagan on the official dime. Yeah, I remember those street demonstrations agitating for the Reagan dime. (Maybe a little sarcasm there.)

5. I figgered it'd be a quarter

...Two-bit huckster, and all. ;)

6. His picture on a snake oil bottle would certainly be appropriate

as Steve Earle pointed out all those years back.

7. Do you, or do you not, control your TV and your eyes?

I guess not.

[Bossy Monkey]

8. I haven't gotten the remote control surgically implanted into my wrist

...yet.

Eyes aren't the problem so much as ears.

9. Dime--smallest coin & practically worthless. Suits Raygun

[meegbear]

12. Not worthless at all ...

especially since the man on the dime is your avatar.

Dime - March of Dimes.

[Orsino]

10. I think that an especially thin dime...

...would be highly appropriate.

11. When's the Reagan food stamp coming out?

Or the Nixon $3 bill. Or the GWB IOU?

13. Do what I do when forced to watch Idiot Son on tv

I have one of those suction cup dart guns with a clip that holds 8 darts. You can unload on the tv and make yourself feel better instantly. It was a lifesaver during the debates and is never out of my hands during SOTU.

14. Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Must have!

Only thing is I might start looking forward to W and Reagan dime appearances, which would be more than a little peculiar.:)
