Aw, c'mon you guys. Give Bob (and me ;-) some eye candy!

I just checked out the Bone-the-Fish site which replaced the Jump-the-Shark site to see what their voters thought. All 8 of their voters said "never boned" .... but sounds like they were talking about the original run only, and one person said he wanted to "to forget the remakes ever happened." There were 30 of the movies from 1985 to 1995. I didn't realize there were so many. So Raymond Burr did 26, then Paul Sorvino one, and Hal Holbrook three. Doesn't seem like MeTV has access to all 30. They loop back around to the beginning rather quickly.

Not familiar. Will keep my eyes open for a chance to be. I don't know why they kept the series going after Raymond Burr died. However, that wasn't the first time that he was absent and his friends showed up to try the cases instead of him. There was a string of about four episodes during the regular series where there were guest lawyers. Bette Davis was the lawyer in one of the episodes. Have we talked about this here?

You can attach pics from your gallery. Go to the My Media button at the top of the reply window. Hopefully you can find your way around from there. Or I can add them in if you get snagged on that. We'll get them in one way or another.

I also like to search for "Figured Marbles" -- that gets me to a 1907 ad at the elephind link. And then basically I pick up whatever phrases the old papers have and then wander around from there. Along with Figured Marbles, in Pensacola in 1907 you can get Klondyke Glass Marbles with gold spiral colors inside. They're about a penny apiece.

Sweet! "Glass agates" gives me good stuff there. Check out the "Dazzler Agates" from 1932 in Ipswich. And in Ipswich you can get "American Glass Agates" in 1927.

Yeah, Steve ... you would have loved browsing that. Have you checked out the Morphy auction pages? You can a good browsing fix there. And do you have Baumann's book, Collecting Antique Marbles? That's recommended for the handmade Germans.

If you are having trouble with uploading as an attachment, try to start an album in the gallery. That will get you past the size limitations on the attachments.

Neat idea. Let us know how that goes.

Popping in with a quick *that's pretty* before people who know the answers start talking.

Coolness. Good advice. I have a list of phrases I check, such as "glass aggies". Well, not so much a list, as scattered notes with different phrases. [Edit: No, "glass aggies" didn't turn up any good results this time.] What is it with 1922? The New York Times also only goes up to 1922 for its free archives. And the LA Times also splits its archives after 1922. (I think it charges whether before that line or after, but they're two separate collections.) At first, I thought that had something to do with copyrights expiring, which made me think that every year we'd get a new year of papers added to the free section, but the 1922 date has held steady at the New York Times since I first started checking it almost ten years ago.

*waves at Ric* Thank you! Some nice hybridization there.

Well show us those six! *salivating* *preparing to drool*

Welllllll ... I claim I could still include my S marble since I loved it before it became a gift .... but I still need time to think about the others. Possibly an Akro superman would be in it. That's such a classic marble. But I need to think ........

Excellent! (My browser offered to translate the page for me, so I got to see it in English.)

oooooooooo

Somewhere you might have fun searching for out-of-copyright images. Marbles -- And He Takes the Alley, 1901-ish http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47e0-d7c3-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99

One shaped like a tree with metal leaves which shake as the marbles pass. Or make one look like an actual mill. I know you have plenty of mill-like elements. But decorate it to make it look like a village mill. Just brainstorming here. If I ever start making runs, I'm going to make micro machines. Little tiny machines with little tiny marbles.

On MeTV, watching Paul Sorvino in a post-Raymond-Burr Perry Mason. His character is Anthony Caruso. Perry is "out of town".
