Coins and their metal (to bring back this old topic), one clear exception: the Kennedy 1/2 dollar.

It is an unsung hero as it had a greater percentage of silver in the mix. The '64s for sure (something like 90% silver). After, they still had 40% or something of the sort. Heck, makes 'em worth $1.50 USD!!
(for the record, I think my comic book collection is going at about the same rate). Hmmm...let's see what my 8 copies of Spawn #1 are selling for nowadays.

it could do 45's. I have no idea if there was a way to do 78's. forget the brand though
[guidogodoy] Wednesday, February 26, 2014 5:54:01 PM 
Yup, and in North America, this sort of "spirit duplicator" was known as a Ditto Machine! Ditto paper and the machine used to make the copies coexisted with the mimeograph but was invented later. It was the immediate precursor to the photocopy machine! The buzz came from the mineral spirits that were used to make the copies.

it was solvent based, the process to ink the papers. probably something like acetone or rubbing alcohol ,like a quick huff on an old fashioned glue bottle ,

There is only one right answer. Ink doesn't play into it. Perhaps in a mimeograph or a carbon copy but neither directly gave you a buzz. Only one sort of duplication did it.

My question? Name it!

[METALMANJP] Tuesday, February 25, 2014 11:55:47 AM 

Not sure what you are looking for. The smell of the ink, the chemicals, alchol ?

[guidogodoy] Tuesday, February 25, 2014 10:56:12 AM 
Mimeograph - nope. Close, but no cigar.

Had you gotten the answer, you would have won the grand prize: a real turntable! LOL! Of course, you'd have to pay s/h and any duty costs but the penny would have been included.

Record player you describe sounds like one my sister and I had. It was a box. Take the cover off to expose the arm / turntable. Played '45s natively but could do a '78 as well. HA!

I think mine is still at my mom's house. Probably worth a Canadian penny to a collector.

I doubt that you will ever get more than a penny.  pre 1993 ( think) are pure copper, so those are worth selling for the metal value, currently 1.6 cents worth.  the once since are not worth much since they are an alloy.  the US coins have been alloy or layered depending on the denomination for a long time, so never worth anything for the metal

I have been shot down with a canadian coin in the states before, that I got in change there.  ffs.

 MIMIOGRAPH INK?

we had a record player.  arm was round, head was small, couldnt get place to tape a penny on.  

by the time I hit age of wanting a buzz zerox had killed that.

That is just it: WHY could you catch a buzz? Your answer below deducts points. It had nothing to do with ink, per se. What was it?

Full credit for the penny on the arm of the turntable. Hey, HB. No more 1 cent pieces? Should I hold on to my old maple leaf ones? I was in a store the other day when a lady was shut down for trying to pass of a Canadian quarter. WTF?!? The world is falling apart.

The wet ink was not as good as locker room rush

[METALMANJP] Monday, February 24, 2014 11:47:51 AM 

To catch a BUZZ ! And I used the penny before.

[guidogodoy] Monday, February 24, 2014 9:13:35 AM 
You remember "HEARING??" Never actually did it?! You poor creature. couldn't afford a turntable, eh? lol Certainly couldn't have much to do with age.

I'll let the wet paper answer go for a bit to see if anyone can answer it. Very common, though. Teachers hand out some activity and the paper is a little wet so the first thing to do is take a huge sniff. Why?

Now why did kids smell papers (such as in F.B's Days off??) when they were wet and handed out to students?

Speaking of me and what I posted about the "pops/jumps" in Defenders, who else but me remembers the trick of how to keep a needle from jumping around too much on a turntable? (ed. note. Looking right at mine which IS working, btw).

I think I got here just in time to help start the fall. Unintended of course. I used to want to participate and get others to also but anymore it's just check in, see if there is anything to comment on, laugh at the ridiculous, then go to Youtube or Facebook. There's not much to try to participate in.

Ok, time is up.

It is Stephen King's "The Stand." Molly Ringworm (heh) just loses her father to the superflu and plops him hin the ground with the help of Harold Lauder. Amazingly, she pops right into a good mood that very evening, finds an old turntable and this is the song she puts on.

Now, the trivia question? Anyone?

Holy shit....for you, JD.

While I have a typo in the word "where" (as in "where does this show up in the film?). It hits me. Ossie Davis is in it as well !!! (seel Two posts below).
[guidogodoy] Tuesday, September 10, 2013 12:04:48 AM 
Great performance and also the topic for a trivia question. This beautiful song pops up at a VERY odd place in a Stephen King film. Which and were?


[guidogodoy] Monday, July 29, 2013 1:14:19 PM 
HA! Do you honestly think that I could just jump to the last minute?! Didn't remember this one too well but when I saw Roddy McDowall and Ossie Davis (both GREAT actors), I just had to watch it all again.

Absolute masterpiece by Serling. Poor Portifoy, though. After 30 years of service, he didn't deserve it!

Creepy as hell! GREAT!!

This one is for especially Guido...dude just watched this ha ha,skip to the 30:00 minute mark at the end...this shit scared me back in the late 70's when I saw it,I must of been like 7 years old,but it scared the hell out of me haha... "The Cemetary" from the genious Rod Serling's Night Gallery
