Naming convention.

Sapi,

I kind of wish I did sometimes. The artwork was very intricate and the outlining looked to be done with India ink, which added some realistic touches. The bill I came into possession of was a 'BONE' instead of a 'ONE,' and poor George had become a stylized rendition of Elton John with large glasses. Underneath his bust was the title of Elton Geo.

Later, a friend of mine ran across a 'NIFTY' in place of a 'FIFTY.' We learned of still another example one night while talking about it at a party—a girl named Carrie joined us who mentioned encountering a ‘CONE.’ So it seems there were at least three of these works floating around.

We formulated a theory based on our recollections of the bills and the weird statements inscribed upon them: Floy and Zoy were misguided lunatics bent on overthrowing the system, using hopelessly quixotic tactics to achieve this outcome. We never decided on what ‘system’ they were actually seeking to overthrow, however.

I wish the 'Where's George' website had existed when I was passed this funny money, as I could have added the serial numbers into their database and tracked the bill after I spent it. Just think of the places it might have traveled.

I chose to name myself after Mother Yoda. (aka: Yoda's Mother)

One of my heroes is Publius Conrnelius Scipio Africanus. Goblin was my call sign when I was in the Navy. (I startled some Marine pilots at a briefing and they called me Green Goblin.) Therefore, Scipios' Goblin.

Just a helpful tip, don't posts in threads that have been dead (no posts) for a period of time. Especially not just under a year.

Welcome to the Org, scipiosgoblin.

As pevergreen pointed out, however, it's usually considered bad form to resurrect old threads like this. In the future, a general rule of thumb to follow is if it's been more than 3 months since someone last posted in a thread, you're better off leaving it be.
