I also corrected errors in my tags for 2 of my Roman Provincial, Lucania, Paestum coins.

I also edited the text in my 2 Roman Provincial, Lucania, Paestum pages.

Hi folks,

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't swapped out photos in several days. The reason is that it is Spring, and I am busy doing things around the house and yard. I should resume working on my website in the next few days.

In the meantime, I heard something today that put a smile on my face. I was so happy, and it made my day.

First, a little back story. Obviously, my username in this Forum is Meepzorp. As some Forum members already know (because I have written about this in the past), there are 3 different versions (or incarnations) of Meepzorp in the media. The first 2 versions are "Saturday Night Live" (the "Coneheads" sketches) and Disney. The thought of using Meepzorp as my username is from the third version of Meepzorp, which is the "Howard Stern Show".

As some Forum members already know, I am a huge Howard Stern fan. I have been listening to his radio show almost every single day since 1984, when I was 16 years old. Several years ago, Howard and his staff created a character called "Meepzorp", who is an alien from outer space. Howard's staff members used to prank call Riley Martin (one of Howard's Whack Pack members) as Meepzorp. It was hilarious. I think those are some the greatest prank phone calls ever made. Every time I heard them, I would be hysterical laughing. That is the reason why I selected "Meepzorp" as my username for this Forum.

Unfortunately, Riley passed away a few years ago. And Meepzorp was never heard from again - until today.

Today, on the "Howard Stern Show", during the "Jeopardy" segment, Howard was talking to High Register Sean (another one of Howard's Whack Pack members) on the phone. And Meepzorp called in!!!

I hadn't heard from him in a long time. In fact, Howard himself said, "We haven't heard from Meepzorp in years!"

When I heard Meepzorp's voice, it immediately put a smile on my face. And I screamed out, "Meepzorp!" I was so happy to hear his voice.

If any Forum members have SiriusXM satellite radio, they can hear it because Howard's show re-plays on a continuous loop all day long on channel 100. As I mentioned above, Meepzorp called in during the "Jeopardy" segment.

Hi Jay,

 :) ;D

What if it is not really me? What if I am a shape-shifter? Or a dog-man? :)

Actually, according to Shuli, today's code word is "Gargoyle".

I love how Howard turned a situation where Shuli had to prove he was really Shuli (and not a shape-shifter or a dog-man) into a situation where he was goofing on both Shuli and High Register Sean. Shuli was even goofing on himself. Then, Meepzorp calls in and adds to the comedy. And it was all spontaneous and totally un-rehearsed. That's why Howard is the best.

I also corrected the orientation of a photo I posted yesterday. My obverse Vicina photo was upside-down (I think). I rotated it.

Hi Meeps,
Great additions! I really like the Campania. The Philip II Trillina (crowned letter F) also has a lot of character. Congrats!

Hi folks,

Some Forum members may have noticed that I haven't worked on my website or posted here in about 6 weeks. The reason for this is that things have been rather hectic around here lately, and I've been very busy.

I think I finally got caught up on everything. Hopefully, I should be able to resume working on my website within the next 2 days.

I have a bunch of "new arrivals" to post, and I have more on the way.
