Is PCGS.COM kaput?

[EVillageProwler]

I can't seem to get to pcgs.com nor collectors.com. My browser is now telling me that they are unknown web addresses. Oh, well, I guess they should have paid their bills to their ISP!

Yah, they're down alright - just as I was doing a long reply to the ethics thread - never got to the past the proceed button & now those words of wisdom are long gone somewhere in cyberspace

Makes me want to run outside, right now, and spit on the sidewalk.

[EVillageProwler]

Pat,

 

Do that in Singapore, and you'll see it's no joke!

In Nazi Germany you'd be shot on site for spitting. Similar legislation is now pending in the "liberal" state of California

What is really disgusting is the "farmer's blow". I watched a runner/jogger the other morning while driving to work pinch off one nostrilwith his index finger and blow hard out the other while he was still running. I guess if it's done right it takes care of business with no drip, no muss, no fuss.

Visually though it is a sight I could have missed and had just as good of a morning.

Years ago, an ultramarathon runner I used to know perfected the "mobile restroom technique." Usually, but not always, he did this only when running on trails.

Have you ever seen the "farmer's blow" from a baseball player during a game? It's disgusting. The worst offender I can remember is an ex-Mets pitcher named Sid Fernandez. He would stand on the mound, [!@#%^&^] his head slightly and let an enormous one fly out!

 

Ugh...the visual.

It's very nice to see that the incredibly intelligent and politically correct profanity filter in this message board software has reasonably, logically, and appropriately obliterated your entirely unreasonable use of the common English language verb "to cawk." Bravo. What's next, Newspeak?

What about the PMM? He didn't get into trouble for his antics. Did he? However, I did.

We are working on a system that will grammatically analyze the contents of sentence to determine whether the usage of certain words employs its profane meaning or its more pedestrian one. The sophisticated application of some of the basic framework used in artificial intelligence research should allow us to differentiate these usages. This module will be ready some time around 2025. In the meantime, we have a slightly more awkward but serviceable system in place.

We're talking about Farmer's Blows and you bring up masking? Please.

[TomB]

Imagine someone performing a farmer's blow while wearing a face mask?

[truthteller]

So what's this about a farmer's daughter's blow?

You guys need to live around here... Indoors, the hand is cupped under the nostril so that the ejectant is safely caught and kept off the rug, dog, etc. This has a flare of elegance about it. Ejecta, and associated contents, if substantial enough, are then tactfully removed into a proper sink or receptacle. Of course, such techniques were only developed when dirt floors went out of style.

And some troll will point to this thread being on the top of the forum as proof that all we do over here is talk about PCGS.

Come on. This Thread had, "PCGS" in the title. I'm surprised it didn't even get grosser!
