I am an artistic troll---but for my college class--I wrote a thesis accompanied by a coloring crayon portrait that was one of two selected for the student gallery---the thesis basically children create purest art---because they simply do so to please themselves or the people the love--their motivation is truly unselfish
Highly relevant to my day today
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
~Mark Twain
And the name calling continues in the form of a quote.
@TheFunCartel I was referring to a customer of mine from today, not a forum interaction of yesterday. It would seem you have fallen victim to confirmation bias.
@TheFunCartel I thought the same, but there's been no interactions today. Well, until recently, after that was posted, I think. Although, since then...
@Unscented_Lemon https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/profile/comments/Specialist_Log My comment on this thread was my first comment today. And again, about a customer I helped, at my job, in reality, with no relation to CC.
@Specialist_Log Did I say anything different?
@Specialist_Log Well we have another member who has used that quote before in the vein of an insult. In fact he uses quotes in place of his own words, facts or tact. The problem with quotes is they are not facts and you can easily find quotes equally as eloquent with an opposing view. But I digress and I apologize if that was not your intent.
1955 Sports Illustrated Marble Guide Genuine Carnelians (agates) also called flints, aggies and realies were original handmade shooters. Now collector's items, they are still the most treasured of all marbles.
Peppermint Stripes were among first glass marbles imported from Germany but high prices limited popularity. This candy stripe variety was semi-mechanically made.
First American glass marbles were poor imitations of imported candy stripes. Far more popular in the 1850s were cheap, fired-clay marbles (right) called miggles and commeys.
Cat’s Eyes made from used crystal (old bottles, etc.) were first cheap glass marbles made. Colored whirl design injected mechanically into center was not favored by mibsters.
Immies were popular replacement of hard-to-get agate shooters. Mass produced by machine, their bright opaque colors immediately caught the fancy of finicky marble players.
Rainbows also called immies, were introduced in 1928 by Peltier Glass Co. and became hot marble currency and are still favorites. Kids like their separated-stripe design.
Marines made of colored crystal, were a passing fad, being replaced in popularity by moonstones (below). New and booming market for them today is as decorations for aquariums.
Moonstones (moonies and pureys), developed by rival firm to offset popularity of Rainbows, were most beautiful and costly marbles and included the famous bloody.
Scrap Glass marbles made from old colored jars flooded market during World War I and marked the end of beautiful marbles. Marbles of today (right) are of poorer quality.
Japanese Cat’s Eyes now being imported in millions, are threat to U.S. marble industry. Different and more colorful than today's U.S. marbles, they are a big hit with kids.
These insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words. Insults then, had some class!
