i want a pet rock. he'll be called sarge.

Can I eat him?  

[Arivel]

We have a PET ROCK THREAD?! Whose Idea was that? Oh... Simon... of course. rolleyes  

[Gaulia]

What's a guild without a pet rock thread?!  

[Nebelstern]

I stole the idea from someone else. And yes, a guild without a pet rock thread is indeed very bare... not to mention unfulfilled... neutral

Japanese tourists are nice, because they're so friendly and take pictures with you randomly (*made up flshback* NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Pet rocks, intresting. Specially since I consider rocks slightly concious.

Anywho, why I dislike American tourists:

*France, Paris, tourbus*
"Gee look at the Eye-ful tower!"
"Yeah, but still not as good as the Statue of Liberty, that's real American engineering!"

It was so aweful it wasn't funny. I had to be restrained to resist caving their ignorant little skulls in.

Did you know that some pet rocks come with manuals, teaching your pet rock to do things like "play dead" and "roll over" (i.e. be pushed down a slope)?

I don't have a pet rock, but when I was younger, I was in France and I filled my socks with sand and I braught them home. I still have them, though one has a hole in.

There's an entry in the Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd:
Glassel: A pebble found on a beach which was shiny and interesting when wet, and is now a lump of rock, but which nevertheless small children insist on filling suitcases with after a holiday.

It could...
Don't be silly. Cedric is spelt with a C, and it's Neville the Metamorphic. 3nodding

I doubt that the demand for such is overly high...Really? I thought that Cedric could be spelt with either. You know, one of those colloquially warped spellings.

You'd be suprised what gullible american tourists are willing to pay for.
Please note the use of the word 'siliceous' in my post. It took me quite some time to look it up to get the spelling right, so you missed it in your quote, seeing as I added it in in an edit... hoorah for Terry Pratchett and his vocabluary increasing novels...

Yes. I saw a programme where this Amerian woman decided to collect thousands of Princess Diana dolls. I think that gullible only scratches the surface with Americans. Especially American tourists. Or Japanese tourists. Because THEY can't understand anything AS WELL as being gullible. *looks up* It isn't in the dictionary... pfft. Not that it really matters anymore. Well done for being all wordy though.

It's hard to tell if Japanese tourists are gullible, seeing as they talk quietly in Japenese. American tourists are generally loud and fat and wear brightly coloured tents that hurt your eyes to look at. They mis-pronounce everything, and don't care about finding out about whatever interesting historical site they're visiting, as long as they have a photo of them standing in front of it to prove they've been there. To them the world is just one big sticker book, and they're filling in the gaps.
Thankyou. ^-^

~Cough~

I hope you don't think that all Americans are like that. o.o;;

Back to the original subject though.... Do rocks like cheese? ^_^

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.

Of course they''re not -real- pet rocks. Giving it human like features defeats the point, does it not?
Shhh! Don''t say they''re pointless! You''ll hurt iggy the igneous''s feelings!

Not unless they are trying to produce Easter Island minatures. That COULD be a lucrative business...
And I suppose there is a ''Sedric'' the ''sed''imentary and a ''Greta'' the ''meta''-morphic as well?

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

*Is hit by a rock three months too late.*  

[Invictus_88]

See?

Pet rocks are so versatile. They can even break out of our dimension and exist for a moment outside of accepted time-space material.
