But what does anatidaephobia mean? I don't mind if someone reports me for hijacking this thread.
-
Oh no! Now I'm alarmed! lol
-
Thanks, Al!

Yep, that zoom helps a lot. Third try: 22050 points. And I made wild guesses on the last two coz I got impatient. Got the right continent on those at least. Sorry, I don't hate you yet. It's still fun.
-
I just noticed that there is a zoom on the panel where you make your guesses. That's going to help a lot scorewise, though it was sort of fun to try to find Polish and Canadian towns on the big map without seeing any boundaries.

I think the word is "perseverate".

I can bump the thread with a little ad for marbles in the "Sunset" line. Somewhere I also have a story of them being given away as a tournament prize. Oh, are simple rainbos welcome? Fizzy 7-ups.

Well, I don't have any. I can't even picture what you mean. What would a Missouri package look like?
-
ZOMG @ the silver surfer!

Looks like a fabulous box -- Sunset Line. The picture is little though. Are those tri-colors on the top? Edit: Thanks for the bigger pic. Not tri-colors after all. Amazing box.

I'm not familiar with the song. I found this on youtube. A poem ... is that the one?

Nice button. I don't get the subject. *whoosh over my head*
-
I cleared the path for you.

Okay, I see the description now. We're supposed to be looking at "bands/threads". All I saw was a dusting of sparkle over the top of the middle pic. *oops*

Are we looking at the same features on Dan's marble? I'm looking at what seems like a mist of very fine glitter.

American Marbles Auctions Card In Todays Mail

That inky blue one, #4 in Al's line-up, looks most literally calligraphic to me. #3 doesn't look like writing at all. May we agree that the term has become much more inclusive than when it was originally applied?
-
Since it is diffuse, my guess would be that it was an accidental effect.
-
Here's one Alan posted in 2007 as an example of what would have merited the name "calligraphy" years earlier: Here's one from Joemarbles.com which has been described as calligraphy. Similar ribbon action to yours. More activity though.
-
Yes. That's usually all it takes. Sometimes odd characters in the address can make the link go wonky. But usually all you need to do is paste the address in the post. Then it automatically becomes a link.
-
I was wondering what Chinese character yours might be. I actually don't think that Al's is a calligraphy marble. It's more about the style and abundance of the swirl, not about it saying any particular thing. Hopefully someone else will have some examples. Otherwise I'll see if I can find some in my files.

Hi Paul.

Here's Patry's Lucky 7. On the left in the first photo. In the middle in the 2nd. She also thought it was a Vitro. Last I heard the maker was still in dispute. My main point is that whoever made it, that's the style of marble which was being called "Lucky 7" when I learned the name.
