A couple of you have asked, what in the name of all get out is the orb on your signature?
I was at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show and found this beauty. They start with a quartz crystal that is about 6 ft tall and 30 in dia. They cut it into chunks and then turn it on a lathe. Finally pollishing it out. This Crystal ball is 28″ and weighs close to 800 lbs. Thought you all might enjoy it!
And no I could not see to Mordor and Mountain of Doom, let alone have all the answers to this site…. Haha ;>)

That is one whopping quartz crystal.
Heck, my ex wife is all knowing and she didn't have balls nearly that big. She did however, approcah that weight...
Morgan,
I recognises that crystal! It belongs to Gazadrous the Goblin and he will be very displeased when he finds it gone, despite the fact he has several thousand others that are even bigger.
Gazadrous is an avid reader of Adam Smith and Milton Freedman so has a very over-developed sense of property and the need to be rich. Keep well away from those who have filched that rock since Gazadrous is likely to escalate matters severely. I understand he enjoys a pot of neeps with boiled beans for his supper - humanbeans.
Lataxe, part elf and therefore a friend to goblins everywhere.
Long ago, in the middle ages of notsville, we decided that Lataxe was not an elf indeed. He seems to have a small shed full of wondrous tuuls for shaping wuud located sumwheres close to the beck and call of the missus. Hersay is he likes to take walks to establishments close by and sample of Drinkberries fine ales and talk amoungst his frenz. The missus takes him out to the plot for picking the furs lunch, second lunch, tea, dinner and evening meals. Or as many you care to offer him. It has been reported as well he has some funny hairs growin from his rather large toes, and, being as I am on the other side of the pond, he can't quite reach me a well thrown stone or small arrows.
Fursure he is neither elf, goblin, nor dwarf or wizzard, but a gud sized Hobbut indeed.
I do have in my room the rest of the crystal balls, and as such can see what is progressin in all the sheds around middle urth.
Do not fear the one eye of the desert for he is benevelent....
So thats what happens when you get nad cancer.
AZMO, quite nice, I wondered what the pic was. I think you should polish it a bit more, and keep a close eye on Lataxe!, for I fear there is some wizardry in the in the family!. A bit of sorcery on the part of the young lad?, possibly having to do with a gent of long white whiskers!!, shal have to keep an eye on the Bagginses little hollow. garyowen
