Pick out one or two great notes and be ready to mail them to me.

LeSnipe Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 It is I, LeSnipe. To be sending to others a note of LeSnipe for signatures is a wonderful thing. I am in to this program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) 15/1Hello folks out there. Short snorters are really nice notes that you can keep in your collection as a reminder of the fun you have here and the friends you've made on the site. I cannot believe that no one has signed up for this fun project beyond George and myself and a few sockpuppets. (not disparaging sockpuppets in any way). Here's a look at a series of short snorters from the past. The link below will take you to a photography album of the 2004 CoinPeople Short Snorters. https://flic.kr/s/aHsj9e5KDS Edited December 20, 2015 by Art1.2 15/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 So if you got a chance to look at the 2004 CoinPeople Short Snorters, you might enjoy looking at the 2006 CoinPeople Short Snorters. https://flic.kr/s/aHsiQWc2Mq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Sign up, folks!! It's cool to collect a few signatures from the real life people in this forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSnipe Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 It is I, LeSnipe. To be inclusioned in Snorters is of great honor to marionettes of the hosiery. Often in cruel disregard, LeSnipe and others are banned without the hearings. I, LeSnipe, have been Short Snorterer since the year 2009. Proudly I have been displaying Short Snorters of LeSnipe to all who enter the hosiery drawer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 The Short Snorter for 2016 is being cancelled. Very few signups and no notes received. Sorry about that. Maybe someone will do a 2017 Short Snorter or even pick up the project for later in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sorry to hear that but I know I am part of the problem. Believe it or not, I did go to a coin shop and looked for notes. However, it was the first time in my 20 years of visiting there that they didn't have any notes out! I was prepared to send a note that means something special to me but I'm glad I don't have to send it now... Thanks, Art, for taking the time with this.
