Save the rocks

[Shedhand]

Took the grandsons to see my old fishing spot this morning. A sort of half baked wind blown cave. Was a good spot for salmon when I was a kid. :) Any way we came across this wild eyed guy with about 3 coats and 2 jumpers on (its 24c here today). :eek: He got off his decrepit pushbike and took a 4litre plastic milk bottle down to the wter and filled it up. He then went up to a big rocky shelf and threw the water over them.:confused: He went back and forth about ten times so I asked him what he was doing. He said he was keeping the rocks cool because it was terrible to see the hot sun blazing down on them. He thought is was cruel how they (the rocks) suffered. :o:o He blamed all the kids hiding in the trees and shrubs:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: of which there were none. Poor bugger.
Had to explain to the boys that he was a a bit sick.:(

Makes you realise how fortunate it is to have good health.

That was me. I'm on a crusade to save the rocks of Australia. If we don't do something now there will be no rocks for our kids.

Bugger, just as I had pretty much perfected my "rock call" some bugger discovers they are an endangered species!

See, it is the attitude of people like you that threaten the rocks of Australia.

:mad:

Shedhand, your story reminds me of those woodworkers who keep planing off those shavings, I think they are trying to make the wood clean.

I ride a Rock Machine (http://www.rockmachine.us/quikclik/c900.html)bike and save rocks. Also, when I was on the GVBR, between Echuca and Heathcote, a truck went past and kicked up a small rock which I caught in my ear. This is a true story.

I"save the indignious rocks of Australia Fund".


Shouldn't that be "The igneous rocks of Australia Fund" ? :p :p

There's far too few volcanic rocks being saved for mine. :(

[Gra]

whatever gets your rocks off:D:D

And what's so funny about that?:confused:

Of course it's a true story. If you were to write that as fiction in, let us say (purely for the sake of argument, you understand): "The Rip In The Fabric Of The Universe", you would be howled down for injecting a note of utter nonsense into the narrative. :cool:

Incidentally, this opens up vast areas of possibility for Gilly - our truly superb wicket-keeper. I don't know whether you've noticed :rolleyes: but he has quite prominent lug'oles. P'raps we should let him know about your prodigious rock-trapping feat. It might add a whole new dimension to his game. I mean, taking a caught behind in the left ear'ole off one of Lee's seamers might be a big ask but I could see a swift ear-grapple of the pill off one of Warnie's slower wrong'uns. Whaddaya reckon?

[Clinton1]

Caught the rock in your ear? A likely story.

Damn considerate of the truckie to so skillfully flick that rock up with his tyre, so that it lodged in your earhole.

[Schtoo]

I don't think the rock came from the truck.

I think it was trying to escape...


Prove me wrong. ;)

Youse lot have all got rocks in your heads!!!

G'day Shedhand,

You know, it's not very nice to describe Senator Bob Brown like thathttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif
