That old Jeffovich Brocawskey
« on: December 07, 2003, 06:50:11 pm »
Well as Friar Don recently mentioned,  The Big Guy has certainly been a burr under my saddleblanket recently.  I thought that was all in the past but just realized that he pulled another one on me and I just about fell for it :o

Awhile back he gave me this beautiful sedimentary pebble. (way down deep inside he does have some goodness or maybe it was Tammy's idea to give it to me)  Anyway this pebble is a lovely grey color with white snail fossile all through it.  It has been rounded and polished by time and water. 8)

Well I forgot what he told me the name of the rock was so I sent him a message asking him.  

Instead of telling me he forgot too,  he said it was a PETOSKEY  stone ::)    I about swallowed that hook-line-and-sinker  till I realized that's some east european slavic language for  PET  ROCK ::)

Bro, that's rock candy.
Just roll it around in the back of your mouth for a few years and sooner or later it'll just disolve.

Kevin,  

You don't suppose I owe the Big Guy an apology? :o

Ya think he was giving me second dibbs on that rock candy?

I thought it had been polished and rounded in a creek or lake. ;D

I know what that is, it's concentrated snail soup.  You put it in a pot and boil it until it disolves.  Makes some really good soup. ;D

Bro. Noble, as one who has studied the eastern religions I can tell you that this particular stone is a valuable philosophy stone, used to direct ones mental energies onto a higher plane of thought.

To use, one must assume the lotus positon and hold the stone in both cupped hands.  Concentration onto the swirl of the snail shell, and it will draw you to that hight plane.  It works best when used in the great outdoors, where one can commune with nature, as well.  

So, the best use would be to go out into the pasture this morning, face east as the sun rises, and contemplate the nature of things. Ignore that frost and snow.   :P  ::)

Looks like a piece of tumbled fossil coral, to me.  If the big guy passed that, he been eatin to DanG much sea food.  But could account for his moods, at times. ::)

That was pretty good, Chet. I thought you were going to tell us about the Chief's other son "Falling Rock".

So Chet,  lets not beat around the bush,  what are you trying to tell me?  It kinda looks like you might be siding with the Big Guy :o  What is this a conspiricy.

Oh yes,  I remember you now------you're the "put a candle in him"  guy >:(

Petrocksie -------sure, right ::)

Well Chet,

Just in case there is some truth in that injun story,  I'm gonna print it off and keep it with my petrocksky ;)

That's not to say I'm forgetting that candle business :-/

I will ,however give you a little friendly advice.  Here I had this pretty much airtight case building up against the Big Guy and here you go and inflict a bunch of facts and screw it up :(  Then you turn around and try for some sympathy------you're acting a whole lot like a politician :o

Just remember that the smartest and best qualified politian we've had in recent times (I think he was a pinapple farmer from Kansas) didn't even get the numbination for president (even with the sympathy factor) :'(

He even had to send his wife back to work and he got a peddling job. :-/

Course it was probably better for them than what one would think cause she probably got free bus tickets and I'm pretty sure he got free viagra samples. :D
