Pet rocks

[Nebelstern]

rolleyes I have no idea the format that the original thread took, so I suppose it began with somebody saying they had a pet rock etc. Illy brought it up and so I decided to re-create the discussion of pet rocks. It is, in essence, the off-topic rock-based thread.

Here have some free pets *throws rocks at random guild members*


Oh no, they're coming!

They're coming to take me away haha, hoho, hehe

Well, that deviated quicker than I anticipated. It must be a record. One post.
rolleyes Illy mentioned she had that song on vinyl...

Someone came up with a post in ED (although the gods alone know why) that she hated pet rocks.

I pointed out that in hating them so much, they were providing a useful function in preventing cruelty to animals...This is achieved by their taking the place of the cat in "kick the cat syndrome".

And it kinda went on from there, Invi and I making very good comments in relation to the nature of wild rocks, such as those found roaming the expanses of Dartmoor, to clump together at the sides of roads in order to make themselves look bigger and therefore more threatening to Chavs and the like.

At which point, the original creator of the thread ran away.

Ah, nostalgia... xd
Looking at the pictures I posted at the top, how did they manage to find rocks that naturally smooth? Or are they *gasps* man-made? gonk

They're probably sea-smoothed pebbles. You know, the sort you just have to pick up when you see them on the beach because they're so round and smooth and perfect and they fit in your hand just right... but then you see another one and pick it up but on the other side there's a little dent with some dried seaweed in and you're overcome with disappointment and disgust...
Or is that just me?

No, no...
I mean it's not as if the people here are more sane than you. Quite the contrary.

I have doubts though as to the smoothness of them. It actually looks a bit like an egg, does it not? Veery suspicious...

My rock talks to me. xd

Wouldnt it be a funny shaped egg? Ive seen eggs with no shells, even double eggs but none that shaped.
Its a very clean rock though. Shouldnt it be green and slimey? But if people actually buy them... Hmm. Might be paying the beach a visit.

Not quite egg-shaped... although it is odd that the one in photo and the picture on the cover of the book are so similar. They're almost too uniform to be natural...

Could it be that we have just uncovered a great pet rock scam?!ANYONE who sells a rock as a pet is part of a scam...

Maybe its all one rock. Once you have finished with your pet rock it goes back in time and they sell it again. Cuts down on manufacturing costs.

I've seen pet rocks in shop windows with googly eyes and stuck on hair.

Yes, but are they REAL pet rocks? Huh? You know, the ones with the box and the guide that look suspiciously manufactured...
I suppose they count. The whole notion of pet rocks is ultimately pointless though.
