Or is valuable. Now I've een out Robot Nine'd! Ambergris? It sounds like some blend of coffee. "I'll have a venti Ambergris Bold, please."<BR/><BR/>It's kind of like naming icky stuff with beutiful words, like here ia poopy diaper, also known as lullaby!<BR/><BR/>AlanAlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-42024051380129238782009-02-07T12:13:00.000-06:002009-02-07T12:13:00.000-06:00Hate This- Glad you liked this!<BR/><BR/>Auntie E- I know, I got some cash from a tax refund and ordered a super fast DEll, I am jazzed and can hardly wait for it to arrive!<BR/><BR/>Kin- I missed that.

I wonder if this one will ever be attributed to him for sure.<BR/><BR/>Also, I was hoping to see the woman who found a chunk of whale vomit on your blog post. Apparently, it washed up on shore and she brought it home thinking it was an interesting looking rock-like thing. Turns out if her chunk of rock tests positive for whale vomit it's worth thousands of dollars! Ewww! Here's the link to the story.<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/18/nyregion/18whale.htmlKim VanDerhoekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05887812083449239276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-37896633408370105232009-02-07T08:09:00.000-06:002009-02-07T08:09:00.000-06:00Man..
