Deep in the heart of the California desert lies one of the moving rocks of Death Valley. These are not ordinary moving rocks that tumble down mountainsides in avalanches, are carried along riverbeds by flowing water, or are tossed aside by animals. These rocks, some as heavy as 700 pounds, are inexplicably transported across a virtually flat desert plain, leaving erratic trails in the hard mud behind them, some hundreds of yards long. They move by some mysterious force, and in the nine decades since we have known about them, no one has ever seen them move.
The answer to this interesting mystery lies in a lake at the edge of the bed. Basically strong winds blow water across the valley, turning the dirt to mud at night the valley freezes and slightly moves the rocks. Over time this creates long lines across the desert. There are some who dispute this theory and say that the wind moves the rocks when the conditions are just right.. about once every 1-3 years. I’ve deemed the ice theory more likely.
Okay, okay… you got me… I’ve been moving the rocks at night.
I don’t see tire tracks, so I’m assuming you are lifting the rocks yourself? Damn, ‘tine, you must be some sort of stud muffin to be moving a 700 lb rock.
Telekenesis.
Is that one of ‘em contraption on Star Trek? A Telekenesis? I done heard the army air corp has one of ‘em things that they took off of that there flying saucer in Rockwell, New Mexico.
Besides, if you lived in Death Valley with a) no water source, b) no shelter and c) no clothing, wouldn’t you shuffle on outta there too?
Btw, the army corp (for you youngens) is now called the US Air Force and they DO have one in that secret airbase called Area 69 (which happens to be in Christopher’s apartment). It’s a fact.
Um, Christine, would you mind withholding any and all sexual favors from ‘topher until he changes my title and icon PLEASE???
At least change the icon from a peace symbol to a Colt Peacemaker — I bet of you!!
Beg of you… duh
I’m sorry PJ… what are you rambling about…??? :s
Nevermind… ‘topher probably already has convinced you to pleasure him tonight
I was right about my previous comment, wasn’t I?
LOL, it doesn’t take much convincing on his part…
I own that (@)
And he’s not afraid to tell the world… lol
Christine — I thought for sure you were going to say “and he’s not afraid to use it”
I was reflecting on these pictures. Can you imagine some poor wagon train settler who’s humping it through Death Valley trying to get to the water on the other side. Suddenly he sees one of these rocks and the trail behind it… no other wagon trials or footsteps around it… he probably thought “What the f*** kind of place is this!?!?”
I prefer to rent (@) …
“There’s muthafu(kin snakes on them muthafu(kin rocks…”
Oh God, Trouble. Don’t get me started on the “Mother fuckin’ snakes on mother fuckin’ anythings…” I think I drove Christopher nuts with that for at least a month after we saw it.
And yes, PJ… it probably sucked for the 49ers coming out here… then again, they wouldn’t have had to worry about it if they hadn’t been so greedy. But I guess “Greed is good. Greed will save the U.S.A.” Did I misquote that…?
You actually went o see Snakes on a Plane??? Never mind, that you almost certainly spent money to go see it… *sigh*
“reed is good. Greed will save the U.S.A.”
Yes, you are correct. For lack of a better term, “greed” is good. People should want more education, more knowledge, more money, more fame, and more personal satisfaction in their lives. If we all started taking responsibility for our own fame, fortune, and happiness, then we’d rely less on the tit of government entitlements.
Hmm, what will I be in my next life. Let’s see, I’ve been a Zen Master and a Peacemaker, what’s next??
OK, we’ll try that one more time…
What’s next for PJ?
War-monger?
I saw them Muthafu(kin snakes on Pay Per View… And I didn’t pay ’cause I’m a pirate…
… Or maybe ‘Director…’
We rented it… although it was strange… I’ve never seen DVDs come from Blockbuster without a case and with “Snakes on a Plan” (yes, “plan”) scribbled in Christopher’s handwriting in black Sharpie on the front… but yeah… he said it came that way when he rented it…
