Some Jabos. I don't know the name which run(s). Edit: Mike Warnelis said the New Decade run, from 2010.

If I had an Akro Silver Oxblood I'd put it side by side with this Jabo So far the Akro is still on the wishlist.

Oh my, that will be a huge change.

Yes, please.

busy pink swirl I didn't win ... darn!

Manly mibs

oh my goodness! THAT's what I was hoping for when I moved up here. I'll keep dreaming! .... and maybe get a generator in anticipation ......

Thanks, Al. Those are lovely.

Wow @ the Tri Onyx box. Thanks for the heads up on that --- saving pix. What the heck @ the Akro gift box. ????????? Confusion at the sulphide ... is it vintage? What is the figure?

Thanks for the update! .... maybe one day ......

Yes, I did!

I know! I would totally have thought Vitro on the light blue with the white patch and green stripe. (And on some of the All-Red looking ones, but I already knew about that All-Red-y kind of MK -- I have a bag of those.)

Some of my new MK's .... dug

Need a picture

Dead duck? That's a new one on me.

In 6th grade, I had a chance. There were a coupla girls who played marbles in the schoolyard at recess. They asked me to play, but they played for keeps and my mother said no to that.

The "miffed" column would be if you were only a little annoyed. "Exasperated" would be for the very annoyed. "I'm not having it" would mean you may be fired up enough to do something about the annoyance. Pretty sure "Fahrvergnügen" is a joke. A little bit of non sequitur to add to the silliness. Yes, from the VW commercial -- which may have been most Americans' introduction to German or German-sounding words. I guess "crepes" is a variation on "cripes" ... which is a euphemism for "Christ". Not sure about "wing nut" ... I think that's a way to insult someone, rather than an expletive. How old? LOL. Not very. I'd guess a couple of years. Just made to look like it's older.

We called it Armistice Day until 1954. Now we remember it as Veterans Day.

I dreamt that I built a marble run and started a thread on it. I posted updates. And then for encouragement Jelle showed up with a picture of a cute little run he did with me in mind ... the last trick was that the balls did a short straight drop at the end and a little hop into a cat's waiting arms.

Ann, girl, you sure do you know how to ride off into the sunset. We're thinking of you.

I think I remember a pink banana. And I'm guessing it was Pelt. But it's not a standard color.
