I'm a counter-propagandist, not a numismatist but I can't resist posting a sneak peek at the newest stamps that will be offered by the Postal Commissariat in 2024. 


Here are some samples:

That probably explains why this thread got so many views since Christmas Day.

The comments are closed but there are 14 of them posted here:  https://iotwreport.com/new-forever-stamps/

Anyone know who this BFH is? Someone said he used to post at The Cube.

OK, Colonel. Not sure how to submit it here but if you look at the menu at the site you can read "about us" and it describes the foundation of IOTWreport and if anyone knows who BigFurHat is it's The People's Cube's founder Oleg Atbashian.

BigFurHat was one of the three Cube comrades - The Cagey Three - a.k.a. the KG3 - professional artists who later started their own site, "I Own the World." We remained comrades, of course.

They had their own section on the Cube, and their work can be seen here.

Thank you, Comrade Red Square, for snatching this vital information from the memory hole.
 

Never in my life have I found a subject more spiritually draining than that of philately. It truly boggles the mind. Truly. Avoid it at all costs. That's all I have to say.

Never in your life? Perhaps you've never been exposed to Boring Books:


 

Classic Odessa joke (90% of all Jewish jokes come from Odessa).


In an old residential area, a window flies open, and a woman's booming voice fills the space. "Hey, Sarah, is my syphilitic husband with you?"

Across the courtyard, another woman appears in the window. Her face turns from red to white, and she faints.

A man quickly takes her place, yelling in frustration, "Sophie, for the last time, it's not 'syphilitic,' it's 'philatelist!'"

In Texazistan, the joke was about being in bed with Arthur Wrightus. Not as cultured as Odessa, by any stretch.

Wow, after 4 seconds of listening to this I felt like I was in a NDE (near death experience, for those of you just tuning in) and had spent the half-life of plutonium experiencing my entire life. Does that make sense?

Thing is, I arrived at a place I did not like. Can I get a make-over? Please, kill me now! Please! I just hate the way this turned out. Ewe! As if?

Absolutely wonderful!

Here's another one.........
Everyone knows where the Big Apple is. The big question is: do you know where the Minneapolis?

A woman on a train platform walked up to a man and said, “Excuse me, but are you Jewish?”
“No,” replied the man.
A few minutes later the woman returned. “Excuse me,” she said again, “Are you sure you’re not Jewish?”
“I’m sure,” said the man.
But the woman was not convinced, and a few minutes later she approached him a third time. “Are you absolutely sure you’re not Jewish?” she asked.
“All right, all right,” the man said. “You win. I’m Jewish.”
“That’s funny,” said the woman.” You don’t look Jewish.”

In the times of Leonid Brezhnev, the USSR issued an anniversary stamp with Brezhnev's portrait, but all those stamps were falling off the envelopes.

The Party appointed a special commission to investigate. Soon they had a report:

“The stamps don't hold because most people who buy the stamp are spitting on the wrong side.”

“What about the people who don't spit, but the stamps still don't hold?”

“Those people are licking the stamp's back side so intently, there’s no glue left when they're done.”

Thanks, Comrade. I've been waiting since early December for someone to humorously exploit the licking aspect of philately.

That isn't even close to licking, Comrade.

This is licking:
