Oh, my goodness! How could you even spell all those words at 2:30 in the morning. You have quite an imagination. Didn't like to hear about the roadside bombing. That's too close to reality. Do you really work with weaponry? Peace and understanding are always in my prayers.

I started out laughing and now I'm crying. Just an emotional old woman this morning.

Just don't let them start up a Rock and Roll band!!!! They'll be up all night partying!

We all need 'great listeners' & you've certainly found some of the best! (inanimate & animate forms)

ZINGER message! (in more ways than the bomb!) TFS! Jeanne S.

LOVE IT!

I can remember when anthropomorphism and personification were collectively called "imagination".

How do your rock people relate to concrete people? Does it give them a reason to band together as the" true rock" or "pure rock" people as opposed to the artificial/manmade folks?

Rock on!

Dude! You ROCK!!!

As artificial folks, would the concrete people be able to clone themselves??? If so, they might decide to build an army and take over the world. Be very careful!!!

The world needs more rocks. Keep the peace!!
I'm still laughing. How do you put the rocks together. Glue?

.............and once again - the sun shines brightly off of that tinfoil hat !! AWESOME ( & funny ! ) I'm glad peace finally came to Tinfoil Rock.

HHhhmmmm .... I think I Need some rock people around me . AT least they won't laugh at me when I go around talking to myself. They won't ask to borrow money and I don't have to feed them . "Rock People" -- you just might be onto something there !

marylee - I'm sorry that brought you to tears. I don't develop weaponry, I was operating construction equipment during these tests. A whimsical bent and a gallows sense of humor helps see me thru life's insanities.

PUT SOMETHING IN
by Shel Silverstein
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-jumble song,
Whistle through a comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.

Laurastheme - I drill the rocks and use rods or rebar to keep them together. Sometimes I use a little caulking to hold the rods in.

tinfoilhat...I love your poem. I will keep that handy. Thank you!

Marylee

What kind of bit do you use to drill? I've never been into drilling, but I've seen some rock plant stakes at our local hardware store that look interesting. I'm sure they're drilled.
Laura

OMGosh....I needed this laugh tonight! Jack, you are just hysterical! LOVE, LOVE the rock people! You should have been a comedian my friend. All kidding aside, I really do like the rock people....they're pretty great. The one even looks like Pixar's Wally! I'm thinking that the Midwest sun has maybe eaten a small hole in your tinfoilhat though....you might want to get the heavy duty kind next go round.

laurastheme-
The right electric drill is the key to the easy drilling of rock/stone, concrete, and masonry block. They are usually called hammer drills or rotary hammers. They have a selector switch to do regular rotary drilling or can be switch to hammer drill setting that will hammer as it rotates. Home Depot carries them. The drill bits have a special carbide tip made to withstand the abuse. With the right drill and drill bit rock/concrete/masonry are easy to drill.
You can drill rock without a hammer drill but buy a good masonry drill bit and don't let it get hot. Home Depot sells Bosch drill bit for masonry that work well. Be aware that Bosch also sells drills that have their proprietary locking mechanisms, make sure you get the right one for your particular drill.
Stay away from cheap masonry bits, they don't last and are a waste of money.

Tin, your rocky friends are a hoot. Like you, I have a gallows sense of humor at times, have to or some things would keep me in tears. (lesson I learned fromo having two cop sons and friends).

Enjoy your little buddies and try to stay out of the heat.
Tho I assume your tinfoil hat helps some...not sure what way, LOL.

hugs, Karen

I want to come with you to therapy! I bet it would be more fun than a night at the local comedy club. As therapy, I have been known to go to the beach and create rock villages on my beach blanket. My husband would sweep all the rocks together on the blanket and take them home when I was done. For the life of me, I can't remember where the rocks are! lol

Now I know if I do create some rock people, I better beware of their prejudices. My yard is messy enough without an all out war.

Thanks for the much needed laugh. My husband likes you, which kind of worries me.

Wow. Gotta agree with marylee here. You had me in stitches, then the Truth of your words settled & tears followed. I also agree with whoever said YOU ROCK.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the good works!

bless ya,
~digger

Love the rock people, the story and the poem. Uh, and do stay out of the sun as much as possible, like Karen said.
Kathy

Well, you certainly had problems! Perhaps if you had allowed the Rock People to cool off in your pool they wouldn't have gotten so overheated, of course the fish might have viewed it as an invasion then you might have an even worse problem, what to do, what to do!!Loved the poem! Jan

Yeha....rock people......you must never sleep as you always have such neat ideas and projects going on!
