Well as Friar Don recently mentioned, The Big Guy has certainly been a burr under my saddleblanket recently. I thought that was all in the past but just realized that he pulled another one on me and I just about fell for it :o
Awhile back he gave me this beautiful sedimentary pebble. (way down deep inside he does have some goodness or maybe it was Tammy's idea to give it to me) Anyway this pebble is a lovely grey color with white snail fossile all through it. It has been rounded and polished by time and water. 8)
Well I forgot what he told me the name of the rock was so I sent him a message asking him.
Instead of telling me he forgot too, he said it was a PETOSKEY stone ::) I about swallowed that hook-line-and-sinker till I realized that's some east european slavic language for PET ROCK ::)
Bro, that's rock candy.
Just roll it around in the back of your mouth for a few years and sooner or later it'll just disolve.
Kevin,
You don't suppose I owe the Big Guy an apology? :o
Ya think he was giving me second dibbs on that rock candy?
I thought it had been polished and rounded in a creek or lake. ;D
I know what that is, it's concentrated snail soup. You put it in a pot and boil it until it disolves. Makes some really good soup. ;D
Bro, he told me that he found it in the toe of his boot and figured it had been there awhile .
:D :D :D :D
Bro. Noble, as one who has studied the eastern religions I can tell you that this particular stone is a valuable philosophy stone, used to direct ones mental energies onto a higher plane of thought.
To use, one must assume the lotus positon and hold the stone in both cupped hands. Concentration onto the swirl of the snail shell, and it will draw you to that hight plane. It works best when used in the great outdoors, where one can commune with nature, as well.
So, the best use would be to go out into the pasture this morning, face east as the sun rises, and contemplate the nature of things. Ignore that frost and snow. :P ::)
On second thought, it sounds like it might be a "Sex Stone" to me. :P

Ouch!
Those can be extremly painfull to pass.Drink lots of water in the future,and avoid salty food.
Looks like a piece of tumbled fossil coral, to me. If the big guy passed that, he been eatin to DanG much sea food. But could account for his moods, at times. ::)
:D :D :D HEE HEEEEE! That's a good'un Friar! 8) 8) 8)
OK so what's the name of the DanG rock? ??? :P
Boy da Big Guy sure got you jumpy. :D Here try this http://www.geo.msu.edu/geo333/petoskystone.html
We have Pudding Stone .

That was pretty good, Chet. I thought you were going to tell us about the Chief's other son "Falling Rock".
So Chet, lets not beat around the bush, what are you trying to tell me? It kinda looks like you might be siding with the Big Guy :o What is this a conspiricy.
Oh yes, I remember you now------you're the "put a candle in him" guy >:(
Petrocksie -------sure, right ::)
Now ya went and hurt my feelin's. :'(
I went to the Pudding stone link,and saw an excavator pudding stone in da pile,but it didn't say why they were pudding em dere :-/
Well Chet,
Just in case there is some truth in that injun story, I'm gonna print it off and keep it with my petrocksky ;)
That's not to say I'm forgetting that candle business :-/
I will ,however give you a little friendly advice. Here I had this pretty much airtight case building up against the Big Guy and here you go and inflict a bunch of facts and screw it up :( Then you turn around and try for some sympathy------you're acting a whole lot like a politician :o
Just remember that the smartest and best qualified politian we've had in recent times (I think he was a pinapple farmer from Kansas) didn't even get the numbination for president (even with the sympathy factor) :'(
He even had to send his wife back to work and he got a peddling job. :-/
Course it was probably better for them than what one would think cause she probably got free bus tickets and I'm pretty sure he got free viagra samples. :D
Boy I go and try to brighten up yur demeanor wit one little candle, and now yur gunna hold it over my head forever. :)
HEEE!!!!! :)Sheesh Guys!!
This is a funny bunch of carrying on :D :D :D
I'm beginning to think that Bro Noble would make a good tree topper, and I dont mean the one that works in da woods.
Ah ! oh ! :o I see a star in the making ...... ;)
Jeff, along those lines.
Santa was having a real bad day. Rudolph had just come down lame on his left hind leg. The elves were at least 48 hours behind on production. Mrs. Clause had just jumped the big guys case on his smelly pipe and muddy boots. As he was sitting in his chair trying to recover, the door bell rang, and scared the big guy. In getting up he spilled his tea in his lap.
Opening the door, there stood an angel with a Christmas tree in hand asking, "Santa, where to you want me to stick this tree?"
And that, fellow tree growers and cutters, is how the little angel got to the top of the tree.
Ah Ha!...Now I see...and that explains his pale and rather suprised expression! :) ;) 8) 8) 8)
Friar Don,
Thanks for the smiles...I've been chuckling about the joke all day. :D Your timing is perfect, here I was all stressed out about finals at school, :P, ; now all I have is this mental image of Santa, the Angel, and their Christmas Tree!
Thanks,
Patty :)
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Thanks Friar!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Shouldn't this thread have turned to food a long time ago?
It's beginning to make me a little uneasy :o
Careful Friar, The Big Guy gets enough ideas without you and Chet helping him ::)
Friar...
Thanks for the laugh it was more then welcomed after the day I had ....I will be having images of the angel atop a tree for a wile ..... :D :D :D :D ;)
