Happy New Year, Hoody. It's still 2015 here in Wisconsin. 7:27 p.m.

A pun, a play on words, and a limerick walk into a bar. No joke.

That's what I thunk!

Did you know that Dodie (Dawn Lyn) is Leif Garrett's sister? And she was the original Prudence in the Nanny and the Professor pilot.

Jack and Jill? (That's very cute.)

"brin" and "panache" Those are parts of fans. The brin is one of the radiating inner sticks of a paper folding fan. Still having a bit of trouble picturing which part of the fan is the "panache".

I wrote MJK. The site is gone. Chinese hackers messed things up and it was too much to keep going.

The outline on the onyx makes that one so sharp.

And to you, Bill!

Shiminy ... sorry for the delayed raves ... but that is niiiiice.

This is different. http://morphyauctions.hibid.com/lot/22551623/unusual-truckers-marble-coaster-set-/

It's very pretty. Another which makes me wonder what its Akro name was, and then I say to myself, "shhh, just enjoy it." Went on a random marble ramble. This box from Morphy is a looker. From the Les Jones collection. More pix: http://morphyauctions.hibid.com/lot/22551603/rare-akro-agate-complete-sample-box-set-/ I actually have a bunch of Kodak pics of marbles from his collection.

Handmade bump .... a Morphy box .... wish it were mine .....

Darn ... I didn't visit there often enough ... I guess others didn't either. I was in the mood for a random marble, so I thought I'd check it out and it's gone again. Well ... it's showing up as blank for me. Is it showing up as blank for you?

Nice. Yesterday when I was listening to the coffee house episode, I realized we shouldn't be too surprised. He was a Mousketeer and those were some talented kids.

How about that!

Lovely pic. That bag and those marbles throw me back in time ...

Hmmmm ..... Are bigger pix possible? And does it have a second cutline? What does that look like?

!!! nice! oxalicious with a twist of lime.

Will be lovely to see them.

Tangential thought .... When I was trying to understand how we moved from such names as "glass figured marbles" to calling those marbles "sulphides", I got some clues by asking paperweight collectors. I think the evolution of the name happened in their realm, and then we picked it up.
