New Money? Do we really need new money?

Why the hell do they keep coming out with new money?  I understand the new bills, counterfeiting, blah blah blah.

Then they came out with the stupid state quarters.  I admit to thinking it was a reasonably cool at the time (screw you, I was 15, I thought a lot of stupid things, at least I admit to it unlike you who probably loved Avril Lavigne, yeah, that's right, I called you out on it).  I didn't realize at the time it would be going for a damn decade and I would have to be bored with stupid tourist pictures of Alaska and North Dakota that would be significantly less interesting than the real states on the East Coast.  But okay, that was at least a gimmicky way to get people interested in quarters for some reason.

But WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!??!?!

That's the back of the new penny.  Yeah.  I'm not messing with you.  That's it.  They redesigned the penny.  I don't know how much it cost to design it (nice one guys, really nice...shield), change the mint presses or however they do it, and everything else.  But I do know it was MORE THAN ONE CENT.  Why are we redesigning a coin that has no business even existing any more?  I refuse to read about whether these are real or just prototypes, but if they start printing these

then I'm out of here.  Seriously.  Look at those.  A log cabin, some loser whittling, Abe Lincoln giving a campus tour, and the capitol building before it's finished.  Why not just show a picture of the completed building?  Because that might actually make for a nice coin.

So I just found out today that they are making these new pennies in 2010, which pisses me off.  But then I started looking at other coins.  What the hell is this?!?!!

 

That says 2006!!!  Guess what, government.  I live in this country, I touch the money every day, and four years later I didn't notice you changed the coin.  I didn't notice!  Why are you wasting time and effort on this?  Are you kidding me?!!?

Alright, I'm glad I got that out of my system.  Fortunately, when searching on Google Image for "new nickel" I found a real gem.  I won't ruin the surprise for you, but it's the only picture in the top two rows that isn't of the new nickel.  And is a nonsensical photoshop of Bill O'Reilly.  Enjoy.

Challenge

Try to think of a better song than Everybody Have Fun Tonight.  As a reminder, the lyrical poetry reads:

Everybody have fun tonight (Everybody have fun tonight)
Everybody Wang Chung tonight (Everybody Wang Chung tonight)

It really just doesn't get any better than that.

Onions

Alright onions, I have a beef with you.  I'm fine with the whole eye-watering thing you have going on because that's kind of your thing.  But whenever I cut onions, everything smells sort of like onions for like 36 hours.  I don't want that.  That's not what I signed up for.  When I scratch my face and smell my hand, my hand should smell like nothing.  Not like onions.  Screw you onions.

What I Think

Pat told me to make a new blog so I did.  You're reading it.  It's called What Bri Guy Thinks.  I'm not going to speak in the third person though, because I think that's pretty damn stupid.  I also think blogging is stupid, but only other people's blogs.  My blog is pretty awesome, at least so far.  We'll see if I can keep up this level of blogging for the longer term.
