Steph Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 ... if your first thought when you first glance at something as amazing as this is to look more closely at the bottom right panel to see if those are marbles .... well, the smaller version which first popped up on facebook looked kinda marbular ...

kbobam Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was waiting for others to 'fess up, but I guess that's not going to happen! I do this all the time. Sometimes it's a 'direct visual' like the example here, and other times it's more 'conceptual', like the commercial I posted recently with all the cute animals. There was no doubt that the two who were vigorously scooping up dirt were digging for marbles. Okay, maybe some doubt. But it was the first thing I thought of!

FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Love the art,,,doesnt trigger my marble noggen though.. I know how bad I have it. Can you imagine after digging marbles for so long,it doesnt matter where I see a dirt pile or a fresh dug hole,I have to scan it for marbles? 10 hour drive to South Portland,scanning dirt piles along the roadside,even though there are no marble factories close. Takes me a half an hour to plant 1 tomato plant,,,,gotta look at the dirt! NOW THATS NUTS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I saw a headline which said, NHL 15/16 ... and I looked forward to seeing the big Pelt ... even though the person spelled NLR wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 ...if you have almost lost your home because you spent the mortgage payment on marbles that you had to have (on more than 3 separate occasions). ...if the majority of your spousal fights are about how you store your marbles throughout the house. ...you have ever stolen a marble. ...you have ever sold off other items to support your purchasing of more marbles. ...you want to beat up people who disrespect the type of marbles you collect. ...you feel like you are cheating on your marbles when you spend time doing other hobbies.

J_Ding Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 And.... ... you routinely dream, accurately I might add, about marble searches and conquests ... you can't sleep the night before an auction ... you try to photograph those scores of special mibs, and kinda succeed at it (still going) ... you think of money in simple terms: Mib Equivalents = (i.e., a full tank of gas could get me another Chrissie!) ... you wash them (this is probably not necessary to say, but...) ... you orient the bruised parts away from your eyes...and the corollary: you already know where they are flea'd And honestly, I do this, every day: I carry with me two marbles, each in a small cloth pouch, that I choose each morning to wonder about with me at work, and lunch. Some people at work know I do this, and request to see the 'mib of the day.' It's great fun, and I get more mileage and more enjoyment over having just two around to focus on. And to put a point on it, sometimes I pick them to match my mood (bloodies on bad busy days, blue ones on rainy, umber in fall, white during a snowstorm). Geez, I must be sick. I must be...an addict... John PS: Today was a Transparent Pelt Day...a transparent 7-Up (clear as a bell, is the base glass), and a transparent red and blue multi-colored rainbo.

disco005 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 ... If you have to move marbles out of the way on your desk to access your keyboard or mouse I sometimes carry a new marble with me to work also in one of those small velvet bags! Haha, glad to hear about others doing it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budwas Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Haa, away from home. My wife called today. "Another box came from UPS today, what is it? More marbles?" Humm, "Open it!" I replied I hear the box being opened. Then she says. "It's a round, wooden board and a bag with real ugly marbles in it." I get a little defensive. "Those are not ugly! there beautiful, unpolished, very old, faceted stone marbles. Don't drop them!" She replies. "Geezzz, you don't have to get huffy!" Well don't call my marbles ugly, Okay? There way cool, I like them. Ya I guess I'm an addict. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
