Secre Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I mean I've been after a Rock for a while and it was a really good deal. 1.65 for the Rock and 500k for the Woodland Paint Brush. But still... I just spend 2.15 million... on a Rock... Angeló, midnight_spell360, gypsyknees and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a heavy weight on it for a few million years and it'll be a diamond; for something that size that's a flippin' bargain! Cute name, too!

Cute name, too! I was playing on the word 'bark'!

berriganify Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 that's a perfect petpet for your ruki! it's also the exact reaction when i bought my xweetok her rock. she throws it at people. but there's just something so... dumb and amazing about the pet rock. it's pretty much the only petpet that's so... grounded in reality. did anyone else actually have a pet rock when they were a kid? i did. not an official brand pet rock. just a cool rock i found in the garden. jellysundae, Secre, midnight_spell360 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh gosh, that's unfortunately very true, isn't it. Some perculiar thing made from dung would probably be worth more. ... Got myself wondering now ofc! *investigates* Uh-huh @berriganify I don't know if pet rocks were a thing in this country, I'm intrigued though, how do you brand a rock?! Were they actual natural rocks?? Or a created thing all formed into the same shape? berriganify and Secre 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had kinda loved the absurdity of it well before I got a pet that I could match one too... but the Woodland Ruki and Rock just seemed perfect together! Do remind your Xweetok to pick it up after hurling it. After all, that's an expensive replacement if she loses it after concussing someone! I don't believe I did... I had a tamogathchi or however you spell that... and a lot of stuffed bears! Still got a lot of stuffed bears in honesty. And four Eeyore's; Granddad, Baby, Teeny Tiny and the newest addition to the family; Dopey Eeyore. Teeny named him and it stuck. 3 minutes ago, jellysundae said: Oh gosh, that's unfortunately very true, isn't it. Some perculiar thing made from dung would probably be worth more. ...

Were they actual natural rocks?? Or a created thing all formed into the same shape? maybe they were mostly a US thing? and to be fair by "official branded rock" what i really mean was "the probably copyright-infringing pet rocks sold by the fancy granville island toy stores that all the other kids had" which were really, really popular for like, a year when i was in fourth grade. and yeah, they were a uniform shape, usually smoothed/polished, and the really expensive ones were made out of some semi-precious stone. some of them had eyes painted or carved on, others didn't. they came with a little bed and a 'care booklet.' no idea what that booklet actually said though. the 90's were... weird. 11 hours ago, Secre said: I had kinda loved the absurdity of it well before I got a pet that I could match one too... but the Woodland Ruki and Rock just seemed perfect together!

He thinks he's the King of the Castle. Baby Eeyore, top left, is the oldest as we got him whilst on honeymoon. Teeny and Grandad (bottom right) were got at New Year the year after. Dopey (bottom left) was this year's New Year addition to the family! Aww! Mister Fox is adorable!! I still have Splodge from my childhood days. He's a 'bit' ratty but I don't care! Apparently I tried to throw him away as a teenager and my foster mother rescued him and put him in a drawer. Many years later we were reunited! I had him in reception at least, which is where he lost his eye. I cried so much when the glass eye cracked and fell out that my reception teacher found a button in her drawer and sewed it on to him. That's Sergeant (left) and Misty (right) sitting with him! Angeló 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about Teeny. This was him at Christmas. He is the King! Bow before him! They follow me around everywhere - Baby Eeyore often comes to work with me... even though he nearly got lost one evening back in 2019 when he fell out of my bag. It sounds stupid to get off a train, get on the next train in the opposite direction and leg it back to work to try and find him, but that's exactly what I did! Someone had put him on the corner of one of the buildings thankfully, so we were reunited! berriganify 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
