I'll go with Peltier Peerless Patch.

Contract run Jabos?

I tried to find some turkeys made out of marbles to bump the thread with. But apparently that's not a popular craft item.

Itty bitty machine for itty bitty marbles?

Beyond cool. That's a time machine.

Licorice? Gotta go find some fennel .....

*gobble gobble*

I coulda sworn I saw Ruby Slippers built like that. But so far I haven't found where.

That's still how I'm leaning. Would still feel better with some firm confirmation. Kind of surprised at that lack of confirmation. But different people have sent feelers out and apparently there is much doubt.

No? Japanese?

We thought this one may have been discussed here before. Does it look familiar? Description given: The backlight picture makes the marble appear amber but it's more of a brownish red. It also has bubbles within. 5/8"

Cranberries. Whole fresh cranberries. (Okay, freshly frozen cranberries.) Warmed up in the microwave. With a little bit of sugar.

Even if I were a bachelor, I'm sure I'd still have the same row of aging and expired condiments in the back of the refrigerator as I have now.

Galen, are there dug Akros like that?

MFC and Akro made their own. I'm not sure about whether people believe Alley made it on purpose or not??? Yes, accidental oxblood is still oxblood!

Sooooooo pretty in person. Even after seeing all these beautiful pictures I was still surprised by how nice they look in hand. ♥

So clean!

Years ago, Masters with ox seemed to be mythical creatures. Have any been found?

I see what sclsu is saying. From these glimpses, that looks like a Wales marble .... except for the ox and the blue base????? The second choice given that structure would seem to be Master .... except for the ox????!!!!

It hasn't felt like winter here yet, but that will change at the end of the week.

Yes, confused me for a bit also. Then I thought about the morning. Sunset getting later on the 16th doesn't mean a longer day, because sunrise also is later. The day shortens by one more minute before the solstice. Then on the 27th it gains a minute back.

Sunset at 4:24 today. We'll be getting our earliest sunset this year at 4:12, starting on December 4 and lasting until December 16. That feels soooooo early. Makes me feel like a foreigner up here in Wisconsin ... which I sometimes call Canada. But I look up other places that I've lived and I guess it's not _that_ much earlier than I would have gotten used to growing up. Half an hour to an hour-and-a-half earlier.

Yup, Heisler Gold Ale in the same category ... I find from a quick google. I didn't know about that one. Okay ... the official answer I was looking for was "fictional names which show up in different TV shows or movies". I've been watching Criminal Minds and was surprised by references to Morley cigarettes which I knew as a brand name from X-Files and Hudson University which is mentioned a lot in the Law & Order franchise. Good job!
