2013 Marble Exchange

now, that is calling the kettle black.

at least rogue, rich and myself were speaking of marbles, not of dinner plans.

I recommend some nicely marbled steaks, maybe some mashed potatoes and asparagus. A nice merlot or cabernet sauvignon.

I love it when kids act like douches to get attention. Doesn't hurt any of us, but proves without a doubt who you are. So please keep acting like you are. I think it's funny.

Also the reason we kept posting in this thread is because there are four of us involved. Kind of hard to use PM's with four people at the same time. I'm sure pictures will be posted up as well, so just hold on.

i know, sometimes it's fun watching the trolls try and annoy people.

lol

Just consider the source of these two and their past history of their actions and expect childlike posts until they grow up and act like adults. Many times I saw behavior like this from my 8th grade students so it really doesn't bother me as in the end they learned from their mistakes and moved on.

Also I think the science is too advanced for both of them to understand what the implications are of what I did and how it might change the way marble makers approach making marbles using soft glass so they both have to act like this to get attention.

Perhaps a PM in the first place to one (or all) of us would have been a more mature way of getting their point across rather than starting off with "I don't want to be a dick." The tone was set with that post.

Then someone else (who seems to need the attention) chimes in with their post that clearly shows them to be an instigator. How mature was that?

Oh well, it is what it is - marble on everyone!

Awww, looks like someone's still sore about getting their balls busted in that ridiculous "glass is a liquid" thread. Buck up cowboy, it'll be all right.

Thanks for revolutionizing the marble world Rich. You truly are an inspiration to us all.

Just horsing around and having a little fun. No reason to be so hostile you guys. Lighten up.

**Losiwells** · 05-18-2013, 12:06 PM

Ok Rich, yours is done, signed and inscribed TMP 13

Carlos, yours is done signed and inscribe with a star and '13...

Hey Rouge I don't mean to be a dick but what's up with the different signatures?...

**richsantaclaus** · 05-18-2013, 06:59 PM

I have forgotten what you are even referring to Mecha - seems you like to keep lists that others don't care about... but I bet you will remind us about this moot thing you carry around - playing around or not... so go ahead - glass is whatever you want it to be!

**Matt P** · 05-18-2013, 07:41 PM

edited.....because I don't need to get involved in this stupid shit...and immediately regretted posting anything...

**Mecha** · 05-18-2013, 07:55 PM

Sure Rich.

If pretending like you don't remember makes you feel better, well, have at it boss.

It's too bad you didn't teach 8th grade English.

Lol j/k!

**Greymatter Glass** · 05-18-2013, 09:34 PM

We went from "glass is a liquid" to "metal in glass is a new paradigm"

But I digress...

This is the exchange thread. I think it's great you're getting your own thing on but could you make a separate thread if it's going to continue? There are many of us who are subscribed to or otherwise watch this thread with the hope that it will stay on topic, i.e The 2013 marble exchange and the pictures of the marbles from that exchange.

**richsantaclaus** · 05-18-2013, 09:49 PM

Sure Doug - no problem!

By the way Mecha, I do not pretend anything (ah, the spirit of the young) - it's all good!

Now go make marbles (maybe even we could do a private trade if you'd like - sound like something you'd like to do?). Oops, consider this a PM (my bad!)

Now let's wait to see pix of the exchange like Doug wants.

Because of my severe head trauma I have TBI and my memory is severely diminished, thus I have a very intricate serial system that is special to me, and for the time being I am the only one that knows it. It helps me keep track of when and who got my marbles. Someday it may mean something special to you, who knows.

**glassdocnc** · 05-20-2013, 06:18 AM

So did everyone get their packages?

I haven't heard any complaints, but I also haven't heard from most of the recipients.

**Losiwells** · 05-20-2013, 08:06 PM

Rouge, man I like that marble you showed me. Your skills have improved in such a short amount of time. Keep it up and you'll be pumpin out 200.00 plus marbles.
Sorry about your tbi. I was just curious about the different sigs on your mibs. Im hoping that the star signifies a killer mib. Tell me about your intricate serial system some day will ya. Later and looking forward to that marble with a star. Thanks

**ROGUE** · 05-21-2013, 09:43 AM

OK! ALL DONE! Wooohoooo!

Mike yours is not signed yet, but it will be inscribed the same as Rich's.

Do you guys mind if I hold on to these until after the weekend. I have some high profile people that would like to show off some of my marbles and I don't have anything made but yours.

If you agree I'll post pics of your rollers so you don't have to wait for that. If you can't wait I completely understand, just means I'll have to burn the candle on both ends for a couple of nights. ;-)

**istandalone24/7** · 05-22-2013, 03:16 AM

that's ok with me, i've got to re-do your marble and still have to make Rich's. probably this weekend. i'm warning you Rogue, my flower implosion skills have seriously diminished over the winter! i can't keep from trapping bubbles when i encase the stem. makes em look like shit when viewing them from directly above as the bubble in the stem gets magnified.
