+Renegade Knight Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) It took just under a year for the Blind Monkey Coins to be ready. By the time I actually drop them in the mail...it will be a full year. I'm not sure there is anyone alive out there that's slower. So that's this cointests theme. Sometime between now and when the fullness of time comes along I'll finish up the coin for this cointest. I've decided to make an ICE version of the RK Redneck coins before I make this coin. Or maybe I'll make it at the same time. The date stamp on a post that's closest to the date and time that I finally have a finished coin in hand and check the posts in this thread is the winner. Thread locking posts are disqualified. I doubt it will take me a year, but then I didn't figure I'd take nearly as long as I did the last go round either. If there are no posts I'll put it on eBay and donate the proceeds to charity. That would be interesting as well since I may have to write eBay a check for the nothing it would be worth and then send the charity some money to make up for the auction. Keep in mind the coins are ugly plain old washers painted whatever way turns my crank using crappy stencil skills and an unsteady hand to beat a number into the thing using some cheap dies. Some of them I may even run over in my rig to season the washer. Their real purpose is to make fun of all the other geocoins out there. There are 6 in the series so far. 5 of them numbered. Edit: Tweaked the wording a bit due to some confusion over the date that counts. The reason that it's the posts date and time is because if I had to track the guesses the extra time would slow things down even more. Plus posts are sorted in handy chronological order. Thus I just have to finish the coin and the check. You could say that "last post wins, but that slow lag means I'll be long finished by the time I remember to check...

+fairyhoney Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Wait, you failed to state how often we can post a date ?!?
+Renegade Knight Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Folks. It's the date and time of the post itself and not so much the date and time guessed in the pots...Sorry about the confusion.
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Folks. It's the date and time of the post itself and not so much the date and time guessed in the pots...Sorry about the confusion. ok totally confused,,, what?
+gardengorilla Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I think I get it but can a thread stay open if no one posts for months? they obviously aren't ready today
+opalsns Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 in other words, If we all just keep posting that we are here, Who evers post is posted at the same time he finishes his coins, wins a coin... I think
+opalsns Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 so post everyday of the year and that gives you a chance everyday.
+Chickahominy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 LOL? I didn't see anywhere that "subject matter" of our posts counts. We could come up with some sort of daily posting game?
+Chickahominy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 You MIGHT be a redneck if... you cut your grass and find a car!
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 OK, so if I read that right???The most recent post listed at the time you check to determine a winner will be the one, unless someone posts after you check, but at a closer time/date than the most recent previous post? Is there an Overbidding rule like on "The Price is Right". The winning post could actually be posted AFTER you have the coin in hand and come to check???
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 If you take a short walk along the road near any truckstops, You'll find plenty of "Seasoned" washers laying around, as well as verious other interesting "Seasoned" metal objects/pieces.
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks. I've seen them while walking to Caches from the truckstops.
+cache_in_hand Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Do you have to find a 'redneck' cache to place it in? : )
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Are we trying to be closest to the time you check, or the time you finish the coin. Where can I get freeze dried snails. I might want to add some to my trail mix. I hear they are good on cereal too, like those little crispy marshmallows in Lucky Charms!!
+Chickahominy Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I think a Redneck geocoin would be great for South Carolina caches. I could find a number of caches to place one in.
+hollora Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Well, I can post I am just totally confused! Snails, clams, trails, snails, tails - whatever.................
+Butterfly_lady Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Posting - though it's Sunday afternoon here - no mail arriving... perhaps there will be the special mail there for you though. Fingers X'd
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Good morning. Should I take a walk and try finding some Distressed Washers for you??
+Chickahominy Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Do you take contributions of distressed washers? Perhaps we should look for YOU? Have a great Sunday all... ~Molly aka Chickahominy
+Chur Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 ... and another entry from me... When I was a kid I collected nearly everything... interesting stones, strange metal objects, rusty nails ... A personalized washer (no matter if distressed or happy ) would fit nicely into my old collection...
+opalsns Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 It's the added touch to any coin collection, For Sure!!!!
+Hockeyhick Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Wonder if the servers can handle this one!!! My official first post.
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 <<<<STILL TOTALY CONFUSED??? MABIE THATS THE POINT, DONT GET NOTIN FRUM THEM COINTEST THINGY THUR. YE MIGHT JUST GET ER DONE!! OVER AND OUT LIL BUDDIE!
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 What are thread locking posts? Do they have anything to do with locking washers??
+Butterfly_lady Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Adding a post at the end of Monday - been a long day here! Postman, you must be arriving soon.
+sweetlife Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 a man's junk is another man's treasure:)You may be a redneck, hehehe
JohnMac56 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I think a thread locking post is one that you would use loc-tite with....
+Chickahominy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 My post for the day... Why are they called washers when they don't wash anything?
+Chickahominy Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Posting before I head to Charleston for a few days. Don't worry, I carry my laptop with me! Have a great day everyone!
