SVT#11: Buried Treasure

[loubeelou]

Ellen Riteman is a major feature of this book, but sadly, she doesn't have the ditzy personality of later books. She's almost... normal.

Great recap! Does anyone here like the site icanhascheezburger? That's what your macro made me think of. . . someone should start a SVH macro site, think of the possibilities! :)

[loubeelou]

I love that site! I found all these political macros the other day and saw one with Hillary Clinton that said "I can haz presidency?" That's what inspired this one. :)

I can picture a Todd and Liz macro "I can has ur virginity?"

[loubeelou]

HAHAHA! This so needs to be done!
I can just see it:
Margo "I can haz ur life?" to Liz.
Mr Collins "I can haz inappropriate relationz?" to every student at SVH.

hilarious! i just read thedairiburger.wordpress.com all the way through and am craving for more snarky sv recaps! :D this made my day!

It's kind of sweet that they attended the funeral.

[loubeelou]

Well, they only went to get Mark to shut up. :) But yeah, it was nice. Until they cheated him out of the money!

[vorrothiel]

They go to the Dairi Burger with Amy, and Steven is embarrassed to be sitting with his mum. Shut up, wanker, she's paying!

God, whenever my parents visit me at college, I'm always trying to get them to take me out to dinner. FREE FOOD.

There's a bunch of old love letters from the 1920s, and $200 in cash! Would 1920s money still be valid currency in 1980s USA? I'm curious. It wouldn't be over here in New Zealand.
Um, no. I mean, they could redeem it for money or sell it to a collector (probably for more than face value), but they couldn't go out and buy stuff with it. A $100 bill would've looked something like this.

This book sounds lame. I don't like Normal!Ellen. I want ditzy Ellen back.

[loubeelou]

Hmmmm, so really they got a bit more than $200. I guess they just went to shops that were too retarded to notice that the money being used is COMPLETELY WROOOOONG.

I like Ditzy Karen Ellen too. No fair!

That's not true--some shopkeepers may have been surprised, but even old money can still (by law) be accepted in the US at its face value. All US money is considered legal tender. That's why you can still use Susan B Anthony dollars and 2-dollar bills, even though they stopped making them. Wikipedia agrees that "United States banknotes issued at any date remain legal tender even after they are withdrawn from circulation."

[loubeelou]

Interesting! I didn't know that. :)
