I kept wondering why I was in the Penny for your Thoughts Forum instead of Spooky until I found out whoa - I am in the Spooky Forum... wow!
Here is an interesting story on how a Spooky thing got sold for a Penny and then depreciated in value more and more. http://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/bottlimp.htm Somethings are priceless - and its not MasterCard.

If it wasn't for RLS I don't know who I'd be. And that's the truth.
Thanks Dr. S. I haven't read this in forever. No one knows the devil like a rum soaked sailor.

Dr S, I don't think we have descended to the level of Penny yet. But that is just my opinion, and I welcome all views whether assenting or dissenting. I think most discussions on Spooky are constructive, with a willingness to try to understand each others view point. I think as a community we can be very good at discussing in depth or even contentious issues with a genuine desire to connect with each other. If this place ever really becomes like Penny, I will join you in the shadows or just find another place to talk shop.
On a different note, thanks for posting a link to such a great story. It is largely through trying to understand your sometimes cryptic posts, that I have gone much deeper into my mythos literature, and some 18months later, get most (if not all) of your literary allusions. Regards, Brynmore |

Right. I've seen certain copper coin resemblance too, and while I might agree, I also just re-read The Bottle Imp and got a first rate reminder of how to up the stakes in a tale and pay it off, by one of the masters!
Spooky wins. That was my take away.
