Okay, so here is how it works:

One person says something, and another person continues it. Like this:

A man walked into a coin shop.

He bought a coin.

He went to an internet cafe.

He logged on to Numista.

And so on...

So I start:

A man inherited a gold sovereign.

Then redsmithstudios (David) bought it for $5, so he both rescued it, and got a bargain find.

But then PaRappa was mistaken for a piece of paper, and was taken to a shredding machine. The coins rolled away.

The sweet and spicy curry Tim Curry had served tarnished the silver coins. Meanwhile the Real Slim Shady was lurking.

Slim Shady shadily ate the coins on account of his slimness.

He soon developed an addiction and couldn't stop. He went broke, became thin again, and took on the name "PaRappa".

He hobbled around like a zombie trying to find some silver to feast on. All he found was the barrel of a superstitious dealer's gun.

Inside the barrel was oil. Cooking oil. He thought maybe cleaning coins with the oil might be a really great idea that no one would object.

Suddenly, he had another idea. He thought he'd sell the oil to the government. He arrived in Washington, D.C. to meet with the president. When he was denied entry to the White House, he began kicking, blocking, and turning around all over the place. The oil was spread across the entire White House lawn and he was proclaimed a terrorist.

You two need to get a room. That didn't make a good read and the idea was a good one to start.

Ben, maybe you need to get a room.

Just kiddin. Maybe we should start over (cause terrorism is a hard topic to continue off of).

He also claims that he is a violinist from Cape Town, and that his oldest coin is a 1925 South African Sixpence, and that he has the 1794 silver dollar for sale.
