  1. Heroes and Uniques were more like multicolor stiated patches, right? Weren't they the collector's "bird" series . . . Grebe, Peackock, etc?

    Akro Ades

    I know of Orange Ades but I think they are just glowing Moss Agates - like Blueberry Ades. Edit: or maybe Carnelians.

    Jorkscrew?

    Hadn't thought of the Vacor possibilities. It's way more oxblood-red-colored than the orange on Dragonflies, though.

    Local Language

    You nailed the Pennsylvania dialect. My wife is from Pittsburg and is constantly telling me the garage needs cleaned and my shirt needs ironed. And my marbles need picked up too! Of course, after 38 years, I love her anyway. lol

    Akro?

    It almost looks more like an "impurity" than intentional color.

    Un-Cork?

    A wandering corkscrew?
  7. I think it might be an Ace. If it were an Ade it would glow like crazy.
  8. Cool light and darkness projected on intersecting planes . . . nature in a geometric form.
  9. No idea really, but look at the orange peel in that second pic . . .

    Akro?

    Maybe an odd Moonie - look at the fire on the white that it's sitting on.
  11. Maybe a Moss Agate or Blueberry Ade variant. Does it glow under UV?
  12. The beige and blue is a pretty one . . . I would guess a Heaton Robin's Egg variant.

    A Swirl

    Cairo is not a bad guess. it'd be a nice one.
  14. It's a pretty marble - a couple of more views might help. It looks like it might be something other than a Popeye to me but . . .?
  15. Parturition gone bad . . . like the baby lands on the floor?
  16. Omniprocessors might help: http://janickibioenergy.com/s200.html Commonly referred to as poop to water machines.
  17. No doubt, there are voice prints - and amazingly accurate ones too - they can even pick an individual out of a crowd. As for pixel color . . . it's all about the combinations and relative intensity of RG&B phosphors, but that's all I've got. I wonder mostly about reality, is it real?
  18. Interesting, I wonder if the firkin ever made it out of the park after the tourney.
  19. Wow is right - it's like a sparkling cat's eye - very cool.
  20. The leather bag is shown in the Hardy's Akro book.
  21. Bob, I think the 'connection' is . . . her elbow. I hope it feels better soon, Steph!
  22. That looks like what collectors call a Mt. Fuji. They were made in Japan and came in a variety of colors - commonly packaged with games like Chinese Checkers.
