Yes, very nice pics.

Chips are good. It's nice to be able to study the insides of the marbles. We've had threads on marble innards before. If I can find the most comprehensive one, I'll check to see if it has guineas and then maybe bump it.

I do NOT have any with black. Unless they're hiding in some unsorted group. And I'm pretty sure they aren't. I think that's why my brain has never clicked on Pistachios. I was wanting my non-blacks to count ... and my greens are probably the wrong shade anyway ... so on one level I knew they weren't Pistachios but my brain has been in a constant state of denial over them for years.

I've never learned. I've asked but never felt I had a clear picture. Wondered for years. That1's "wanted" thread (here) made me wonder all over. What green is the officially right green for a Pistachio? What color(s) of ribbons are the officially right ribbons? I don't know if I have any true Pistachios. I have some I call Pistachios but I suspect the green is probably too pale.

Cheers!

Oh. Doh. Was it Humpty who was pushed? I thought we were supposed to guess who Humpty just pushed. He looks like someone who is up for a little mayhem, doncha think?

Hehe, I kinda sorta vaguely remember her not quite cutting it in My Three Sons either (though she had a three year run). I was old enough to appreciate the awkwardness of little kids brought onto a show when the regulars got too old to be cute. But she's three months younger than I am, so she was just my speed. She and Jodie Foster and Pamelyn Ferdin and Kim Richards and whoever it was who played Tabitha ... oh yeah Erin Murphy ... I was their demographic.

:thup: some more

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?
