Post pics of your pet rock(s)

[merh]

I've had my pet rock since 1975, funny he doesn't look 30 does he?
My pet rock is solid and dependeble, he is the best pet rock one could ever imagine. I named him Peter, I was going through my religious phase, so it just seemed appropriate at the time. Peter wasn't the fancy rock you buy in the store, he was found on the street and given to me for my birthday. Being one of nine, my parents couldn't give us much, but they gave us what they could and they gave us lots of love.

1. The ones in the boxes were smooth river rocks

and REALLY thought they were something special...Peter is a little rough around the edges but looks like he'll always be there for you

[merh]

6. Yes, he is rough around the edges - he was found in the

streets, it wasn't an easy beginning for him, but I've tried to make his life easier.

He is very loyal and steadfast, he comes to work with me, often helping me manage my papers by keeping them in place.

34. I've always preferred a mutt....

[merh]

46. Me too.

Mutts just don't seem to have all those breeding issues.

:crazy:

2. I can't. My pet rock died.

:cry:

[wtmusic]

3. Er...how could you tell?

:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

4. It wouldn't eat, it wouldn't play, it never moved, it just sat there....

It was DEAD wasn't it? Otherwise, I buried it alive....oh GAWDS! HOW COULD I?????

[wtmusic]

5. Ah relax, it's fine

it spent eons there before it met you. Might be a little lonely though.

[merh]

18. You buried your pet rock alive?

:scared: Didn't you know that he could have just been stoned? :-(

Mannn!

[merh]

7. Your rock died?

:cry: That is so sad. :hug:

[JimmyJazz]

8. Tragic. I know. What's worse was that no one even sent me a

condolence card. :cry:

[merh]

10. When did it happen?

I would have sent you a card, had I known and Peter would have been there for you too, he is like that, "steady as a rock" one would say.

Oh, condolences for you - how sad, JimmyJazz, the woman that loves cookies, had a pet rock that ate the granite cookie! :cry:

RIP - JimmyJazz's pet rock :cry:

:hug:

9. I had to give my pet rock away when he got too big for our home

I didn't think all that extra snacking would affect him

[merh]

11. My goodness - he did get big!

What on earth did you feed him other than earth?

Reminds me of the Dr. Zeus tale

[LynneSin]

12. I fed him Purina Rock Chow, but he was always begging for table scraps

and how could I say "no"

[merh]

13. My, my purina rock chow, that is pretty fance stuff for a rock.

Mine doesn't like table scraps, it makes him feel like a kept peeble, and he is very independent. He makes his own way in life.

14. Finally! A post for those who own the finest of pets.....

..beautiful, low-maintenance, and you don't have to pick up their crap!!

Sadly I have no pictures of my vast collection of pet rocks, which is too bad:
some of them are quite lovely.

[merh]

15. You must get a digital camera and take some photos!

It is time we appreciate our pet rocks - cats and dogs are far to much trouble. Rocks Rock & Rocks Rule!!!

[unhappycamper]

16. ok

[merh]

17. That is a great Rock!!!

You must be so proud! :thumbsup:

:silly:

[Jade Fox]

19. Kick for rock lovers everywhere!

[usedtobesick]

20. mine got too large as well and I had to set him free

here he is playing with my jeep.

[merh]

21. What do you feed your rock?

My gosh, he is a big one! :wow:

:hi:

[usedtobesick]

22. I live near Rocky Flats Nuclear facility

It's like "Food of the Gods" for Rocks. But he's healthy and active so it seems to be Ok.

:eyes:

[merh]

24. LOL - does he glow at night?

He does appear to be healthy. I don't know how he could be active, with all of that weight. :freak:


:silly:

[usedtobesick]

25. no glowing but he hums in his sleep

and he's a lot like big football player, very spry for his size.

[merh]

27. What's he hum ?

"Rock of Ages" "I Love Rock and Rock" "Rockabye Baby"

If he is that healthy and spry, I'd hate to piss him off. :scared:

[usedtobesick]

28. actually he is really fond of show tunes

which is another reason I had to let him go. I just can't handle show tunes. He's gentle, the rest of the park just loves him.

[merh]

29. Does he doe a Rocky imitation and run around the park

humming the theme from that movie? http://www.customvmail.com/ringtonepreviews/50016.mp3

[usedtobesick]

32. nooooooo ear worm......

well that sucks, I'll never get that song out of my head. Thanks
:eyes:

No he loves and sing the words from all the songs on Rocky Horror picture show...

:evilgrin:

[merh]

35. As long as he doesn't try to dress the part.

I mean, can you imagine him in wardrobe singing "I'm just a sweet transvestite, From Transexual, Transylvania"

My gawd, what an image! :wow:

:rofl:

[usedtobesick]

37. Now I know I won't get to sleep tonight

ear worm and that picture in my head... I thought we were all friends here. It's got to be a skit on some lost episode of Monty Python...

[merh]

38. LOL - I love that smiley!

Sorry, no more ear worms or bad images! I hope you and your pet rock have a wonderful night!

:hug:

[usedtobesick]

40. no problem.... I love Smiley Central

I send many at out factory moonies each day to show my proper respect. You and your rock as well...

[bleedingheart]

23. Mine weighs in at around 3700 lbs

it is the centerpiece of one of my gardens....I hope to dress like a mermaid one Halloween and perch myself on it....

[usedtobesick]

26. I love large rocks in gardens

they really act as a centering point. Hope it's warm where you live at Halloween, could get cold.

[merh]

30. Wow - that is a huge pet!

I love the mermaid costume on Halloween idea! :thumbsup:

See, pet rocks can be so loving and so useful! :silly:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

I can't bring mine home... but I still love it.

[merh]

39. That is an impressive pet!

I don't blame you for loving it or for letting it stay in its natural environment. :wow:






BTW - I'm allergic to Vitamin C - it causes fever blister outbreaks (too much soon and blisters all over - not sunburn blisters either). I would love to incorporate more in my diet, but I can't. :-(

[HysteryDiagnosis]

44. Then look up Lipoic acid or goto www.lipoic.com cheers :)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

31. Dupe self delete.

[H2O Man]

33. I have a clovis point

and three other tools left by a paleo-era hunter who journeyed through these parts. I found them on May 19, 1993. Of all the artifacts I've found in the area, these stand out.

[merh]

41. What no pics?

:shrug: I would love to see photos of your rocks.

So good to see you H2O :hug:

:loveya:

[nookiemonster]

36. Heh. In your face, DU!
