        we have done it with 5 before, and likely should have done it with 5 last night. - groiny Jun 18, 09:44 2
        
        It's the type of five. That's what you're not getting. -- nm - David Jun 18, 09:53 1
        
        same type as we had the last time IIRC. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 18, 09:54
        
        Was about ot say, we really should make sure of six for it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 18, 09:43 4

    - (and I'm pro $1 coin) -- nm - spamlet Jun 18, 09:21
  - There are the same issues - a coin is 6-7 x more expensive than a bill to produce, but it's cheaper than the 15 or so bills it outlasts - Roger More Jun 18, 09:11
  - Pennies an nickels are more valuable as metal than as coinage. - TWuG Jun 18, 09:01 2
    - [deleted] 1

  - [deleted] 5
    - only more polite -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 08:59 3

- Where's Armond White when you need him? -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 18, 09:06 1

- Spy at 95% is still mindblowing (180/9) -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 08:53 2

Also, Amy Schumer is *everywhere*. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 08:48 7
- Just saw she is opening for Madonna's NY show(s). -- nm - Spawn Jun 18, 09:30 3
  - I've only see a few of her skits (the picnic of the old actresses, the Friday Night Lights rape one), but she is hysterical. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 09:35 2
    - Ihave never seen her stuff but have enjoyed her on the comedy stations on XM for years. - Spawn Jun 18, 09:43 1
      - I first heard about her dating a pro wrestler, but that he was far too into athletic sex. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 09:54
- I like her comment on catching dick and being glamorous - Pippy the Low Sparrow Jun 18, 08:58
- whoa now -- nm - God Jun 18, 08:50
- Love her! -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 08:49
