They have/had items for sale in many categories. Toys don't seem to be their strong suit. They listed the marble lot four other times in recent weeks. Maybe your note will let them know that they're not likely to get the figure they hope for them.

I think those are some Budweisers among the Jabos. So, yeah, those are cool. A few of the cat eyes are older. And along with the "semi translucent white and red" ones that you mention, there is also a vintage Marble King, maybe two. I wouldn't assume malice on their part.

I'll say swirl. Not messed up cork. Interesting to have both ends of the stream together like that. No guess for maker.

Like a Painted Desert scene

of course!

Real ones. Paxwax is "the strong tendon in the neck of animals". So it sounds more interesting than it is. Sonneteer could mean someone who writes sonnets or it could mean a minor or insignificant poet. I was playing Scrabble on the computer and had lots of E's and N's. So I plugged that in as a joke and was surprised to see it worded. That amused me. I'm easy to amuse.

I say "better you than me" to anyone who wants to play around with the big bugs. I'm okay with crickets and grasshoppers and roly polies. Okay, maybe a few others. But mostly bug people can enjoy themselves far away from me.

Code? Whose code? Galen's? If you mean me, I'm just posting words which I came across during the day which interested me.

That's a nice bag. Congratulations. If you're thinking of collecting and not just selling, that's one to hang onto.

I tried to convince my husband to wear his pants inside out to work today in honor of the occasion. He wouldn't do it. Peltier Rainbo on the middle. I think Alley for #1 and #3.

What is a word with 4 letters, yet is written with 3. Although is written with 8, rarely with 6, and never with 5.

Just watched a video of a mammoth moth. Will be awhile before I recover.

I think $20 is a good price for it if you are interested in picking up some vintage American-mades.

Neato neato neato. Oh that's so cute. My mother was a jacks champion!

I'll have a Grape Nehi, please.

We could have the soda line of Peltier rainbos. I think there is a Sprite named already -- but I don't remember the color combo. Is it yellow and white on transparent green? Yes ... that's the one. Thank you, Google. http://www.peltiermarbles.com/new_names/content/newnames.htm Rootbeers will start to get some love.

It's a burden.

That's how I was seeing them. Many tweeners with some seeming to reach back to NLR and some seeming to reach forward. I wasn't able to reconcile the span in my mind so I didn't comment. But I wanted to say the t-word. (And all the while in the background I was trying to remember known dates for that box style.)

Okay, I'm back -- could start an "everyone name a marble" thread. Just for fun. No pressure. And see if anything sparks imaginations. Purely for fun. Not homework. Just ... "I'm naming this Pelt Rainbo a Fiesta" .... for example.
