It would be funny to watch a kid roll a 1 on an INT check before a test and just draw a dick on the Scantron.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

A quarter is some weak coinage for a coin boy. Get a half-dollar at least, but those Eisenhower dollars are where it's really at. Nice and hefty, very satisfying flip.

I used to work at a place where the vending machines in the break room gave Sacagawea dollar coins as change. Everyone was walking around with pockets full of jingling coins because they wanted a cup of coffee and only had a $5 bill that day.

Ha yeah, same exact here except $15 in dollar coins. Never had one before and now I have a whole collection. And of course I had them on me when I visited a country that accepted USD, but only bills.

It's awkward walking past a homeless person asking for change and I have to pretend that the $320 in my pocket is just my keys (with a wincing smile I mouth the words "just my keys, sorry")

Only if you’re willing to follow through and, without looking, grab hold of said urchin’s hand, then take them under your wing as protégé into the secret criminal underground where you are known only as “The Darkness” (a name and identity they will inherit to avenge your inevitable murder)

One summer in college I was working a pizza concession for the minor league baseball team in town.

One specific game, everybody, and I mean everybody paid in Susan B Anthony dollars. It got weird, but only in a "hunh, wonder what that's about" sense. The redneck operations manager for the team, however, acted like we were in the middle of a bank heist. Just running from trailer to trailer breathlessly asking "is everyone paying coins here too" and answering someone else on the walkie who was panicking too.

Finally I asked a customer "what's with the coins?" and he said "Gay Pride Night". Apparently that was a thing in the late 80s/early 90s, to pay with SBA dollar coins.

I didn't tell the boss. I figured there was a 50/50 chance it'd make him even more panicked.

Interesting fact why the modern Fast & Furious films all have bizarre titles:

quote:

Decades later, producer Neal H. Moritz and Universal Pictures licensed the title for 2001's The Fast and the Furious. Moritz said that he had difficulty choosing between proposed titles such as Racer X, Redline, Race Wars, and Street Wars, and was inspired by a documentary on American International Pictures that included Corman's film. Moritz was able to trade the use of some stock footage to Corman for use of the title.

Corman recalled the story differently in a 2022 interview, stating that Moritz had been struggling to name his new film and had turned to his father, a former AIP executive. His father suggested reusing the effective title of the earlier Roger Corman film. Moritz negotiated the rights to use the title from Corman, although Corman retained the right to make numerical sequels in the future (e.g. The Fast and the Furious 2).

Clemson football fans used to do something similar with $2 bills. It was supposed to be a way to show their impact on the local economy when they came to town for an away game.

No mainstream eurodance tracks that had the word techno in the title or the lyrics was either, so it tracks.
