Steph Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 *whew* Thanks for the save, Bob. I'd forgotten! Nice one! I haven't seen that episode yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 My file name for this is 'Dragon Eye'. I have no idea what that is, and since this is a print-screen from the TV, that means they must have mentioned the name or I wouldn't have saved it as such. Does that sound right?

Steph Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've heard of a marble called Dragon's Eye, but that doesn't look like it. Sounds like maybe the Simpsons made something up for that episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 From the March 1932 Boys' Life article, New-Fashioned Kites and Old-Fashioned Marbles, by Dan Beard p.s., remember copies of Boys' Life are online for marble searches at Google Books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 That drawing is almost too much to take in at once. But I like it! Also think the pattern of 'The Long Ring' proves that Jesus liked marbles! I'm not an extremely religious person, as you probably know, but I've always thought the 'fish' is the most perfectly efficient design ever.

kbobam Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Whoa! What's up with the first one? That doesn't look 'standard'! Isn't there a math or engineering word for that sort of shape? ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 A little too exciting! Guess I'll be 'staying up' a little while longer. Like the slight 'overlaps'! Is that a new zaboo photo technique? ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dani! Hi! Kewl! Bob, I should know a math term, but all I can think of is helix, and I don't think that's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Holy crumpet! Those are down right scary. But they're also 'outrageous' and I kind of like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think I've posted this shot many times. But I'm really enjoying this particular forum, and being able to post my favorite shots all in one place. So hopefully most of you will forgive me, and maybe with luck there will be a few people who haven't seen it. P.S. Marbles are from 'zaboo'. Even the inexpensive ones that I can afford are the best of their kind! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 A screen cap from the 1936 movie Little Lord Fauntleroy. Could probably use a little photoshop work before it goes in the calendar, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
