<<BTW, on a somewhat related topic... I was discussing stamps with an American friend
yesterday. How do you feel that stamps fit into all of the above? US stamps break away
from the style of the coinage and are often dedicated to pop-culture icons such as Elvis.
About a year ago, I bought some that had Bugs Bunny on them and looked more like
some kind of kids' stickers than postage stamps. At the time I wondered what foreign
post offices would think of mail arriving with them on it... would they think the stamps
were just someone's idea of a joke?..(-: In Canada, stamps are another "big deal" for
collectors. Canada Post issues an ever-changing array of commissioned artwork featuring
many interesting subjects.>>
Hey, lady Croc, watch what you are saying, I work for the United States Post Office, and do not call our Bug's Bunny stamps as kids' stickers ... if you let some of the postal workers hear what you say, they might go crazy and start shooting people <ggg>
Seriously, I think life's purpose is the pursuit of happiness, if the Bugs Bunny stamps make a lot of kids happy, the stamp will have serve its purpose ...
Question for you, when are you going to open up your belly for me to get back it ... it is warm and cozy inside, plus the smell of those hotdog makes me real hungry, did you eat those hotdog by mistake ??? |
