Why do I have the urge to suddenly start a Green Eggs and Ham thread?

As for the Pickering period, I am no help.

If the nit-pickering...or dickering...leads to bickering which ultimately leads to snickering...I hope all of the excitement doesn't lead to a drain on the grid...which will cause my lights to start flickering...

Someone's gonna have to help me here - I can't find the comma or period on mine....

Thanks Peter - I should've looked at what the link was sending me to before just quickly clicking on that at work. I just burst out laughing when the window opened up and have most of the office wondering what I'm doing, but it was worth it!

Leon, there were actually several 'Pickering periods', referred to individually as the 'Ollie Pickering Period' (1896-1908), the much shorter 'Urbane Pickering Period' (1931-32) and finally, the less interesting 'Calvin Pickering period' (1998-2005).

Other Pickering periods were all considered 'minor', as is the one on his T206 card.

Well since you're all pickering on me, I decided to check ebay using current auctions and past ones that sold

14 periods
4 partial commas/weak
3 full comma
10 or so miscut or bad scans

Wish I had a comma on mine instead of that stupid one with part of another card on bottom, even the back is miscut

I couldn't do that to you, the back is slightly more miscut top to bottom than the front, it has a Piedmont WST on the front and red from the front on the back. It's a real mess. Someone was have a poor quality control day on the presses when this card was made. "Do your work right, hippie!" is what I would've said that day if I was there.

[T205 GB]

Was there a hippie back then?

I am sure they let a few slippie, and whom ever you would have said that too would have surely given you the flippie. Then on break he would in a jiffy sneak out side and smoke a spliffy

In conclusion, we should all stick to our day jobs since I do not see a career of rapping for any of us.
