I’d give ‘em a 30% discount…
cleokaya said, 4 months ago

I think it is from the glassoid period.
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

Don’ you just hate it when mom spoils the fun.

Hey Margueritem I see you changed avatars again. This one is so much better than that last one. I’ll give you two thumbs up.
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

To the one who is called musicnut. I’m a little bit curious kind of, and want to know what kind of music do you enjoy.
Margueritem said, 4 months ago

ladywolf17: I had to change it, it was scaring people…

Just call it the “Piltdown man” and you’ll make big bucks.

When I was a kid, I dug up a set of sterling silverware. I thought I had found a pirate’s hidden treasure. My mom was furious as it turned out to be her expensive flatware that my brother had mischievously buried in the back yard.
So much for a little kid’s imagination.

eBay + fraud + letter of authenticity = $$$$
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

So much for fame and fortune. Looks like Hobbes will have to wait a little while longer for babes.
Sebastian Van Uytfange said, 4 months ago

Oh well, some babes flaunt all over those ‘experimental artists’ as well. Slight change of plans, same result.
ejcapulet said, 4 months ago

A discounted dino?
LX013 said, 4 months ago

No skeleton, but funny trash - modern art!
JonD17 said, 4 months ago

@marg, yeh 30% sounds about right.
@wndrwrthg, how about meltdown man?
carpetinwater9 said, 4 months ago

Time to start a new dig.
LX013 said, 4 months ago

Sell it for 9 billion dollars at museum for modern art!
Ray C said, 4 months ago

Is that a piece of chain in there? Could be the Missing Link.
Groversfather said, 4 months ago

Maybe Calvin and Hobbes have unearthed the ultra rare Trashasaurus Rex ?!?!?
prasrinivara said, 4 months ago

Spot-on LX013–or how about directly to the middleman (National Endowment of Arts) for $9.5 B?
grazer said, 4 months ago

Babes, fame, power and Porsches down the drain.
I know the feeling.
comicgirl1000 said, 4 months ago

Margueritem what did it look like
Plastic Cactus said, 4 months ago

Ray C: Ha Ha, not that funny
Marderofski said, 4 months ago

@ Ray C

Is that a piece of chain in there? Could be the Missing Link.

Okay, that one hurt my pun control center.
unemandarine said, 4 months ago

Calvin you should try the Guggenheim Museum, they usually show very bold pieces, at least in Bilbao they do…
BC13 said, 4 months ago

A scream! So Mom did burst his bubble after all. It just had to happen. She’d never play along.

I wonder what kind of price Calvin actually expects to get now. Hobbes can now forget about the babes. That discovery won’t impress them much - if at all.
Ivy0730 said, 4 months ago

oh Mom! give us a break!
musicnut1986 said, 4 months ago

Bummer, there goes the Porsche. Maybe a running condition Yugo, if there is such a thing.
musicnut1986 said, 4 months ago

LadyWolf,

I listen to everything I come across, because all music can elicit an emotional response which must be felt and experienced. Having said that, I do not particularly enjoy most opera (don’t like people yelling at me), classic country & western (don’t care for the nasal singing style), or rap (again, the yelling and violent negative message). I particually like 40’s big bands, 60’s - 80’s rock, delta blues, most jazz, most classical music, and world music. Currently going through my celtic collection. What are your preferences?
pookid54 said, 4 months ago

I said it yesterday…..it’ll sell….it’s so ‘Museum of Natural History meets MOMA’.
Carmy said, 4 months ago

One dude’s trash is another dude’s treasure.
BC13 said, 4 months ago

musicnut1986, you must have some collection. I’ve got some vinyl that spans the 60’s to early 90’s and some CD’s as well, but nothing like what I think you’ve got. Agree with most of your tastes though classical is not me - though I like some of it. I’m currently listening to a Glenn Miller CD for the drive at 5.
musicnut1986 said, 4 months ago

I wish to point out that my earlier post was in respone to a direct question and not a hijack attempt.

BC13, I’ve been collecting music for about 30 years. I’ve got approx 1500 LPs and 2500 CDs. I had about 800 mp3 downloads before my hard drive failed on my old computer so I lost them. Most of those were pretty obscure pieces that I’ll probably never be able to find on vinyl or plastic. (Remember kids, BACKUP your computers)!
Wildmustang1262 said, 4 months ago

Oh I still think Calvin’s thing is just an abstract sculpture for one cent, not million dollars.
bmonk said, 4 months ago

musicnut1986, I agree about the need to back up your computer. Especially files you don’t want to lose. I know a guy who has lots of genealogy data, and he keeps five sets of backups. In three different states.

We laugh, but he has yet to lose any substantial amount of data.
BC13 said, 4 months ago

musicnut1986, I was just curious. You are the serious collector, no doubt. My collection is about a fifth of yours, but with similar tastes it would appear. I’ve all but stopped collecting, unless for replacement. Thanks.

———————————————————-

Wildmustang1262, I wouldn’t call it art - though for some reason Calvin thinks he can still sell it. as such. His feet haven’t landed on solid ground yet after his talk with Mom.
He’ll have to find out the hard way.
SQUIDBREAKER said, 4 months ago

Lot’s of that stuff at the Museum of Science and Industry. Ask and get full price!
JoStra15 said, 4 months ago

I still think he should sell it to the museum of modern art
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

that would be pop music for me.

I’m not hijacking, I just like to get to know some of you is all..
musicnut1986 said, 4 months ago

ladywolf,
That’s where I started, except it was rock rather then pop. I was given my first two LPs when I was in Middle School, In-A-Godda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly and Led Zepplin II. Just enjoy listening to what you like.

Now, will (can) Calvin get anything for his discovery?
ratlum said, 4 months ago

the construction of the artifacts is priceless mom should be very proud of our little genius
dudeabideshou said, 4 months ago

to Musicnut and others:

Think I started my music collection in mid-teens around 1964 with The Animals’ Greatest Hits. Parents gave me Beatles ‘65 album that Christmas, as best I remember.

Unable to count my albums (yes, I still have a working record turntable) and CDs, but have a huge amount of blues, rock, classical and jazz available at any time.
cwreenactor said, 4 months ago

Definitely shades of Piltdown Man.
bald 716 said, 4 months ago

calvin should take his find to a flea market, people will buy anything at those
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

You know now that I think about it, with the economy in such a bad state I don’t even think that a 30 % discount would even be offered to Calvin.
LX013 said, 4 months ago

The Porsche will come true!
PeterL said, 4 months ago

Back when I was Calvin’s age, we would have gotten a dime for the bottle, then gone to DQ for a small ice cream cone. I guess that makes *me* a dinosaur. Anyone else here remember the DQ 5¢ kiddie cone in the 60s?
RinaFarina said, 4 months ago

When I was small, 5 cents got you an ice cream cone - one ball. For 6 cents, you could get a Mello-roll. This was a cylinder of ice cream - had more ice cream than a ball - and you got to watch the man behind the counter as he carefully unrolled the cardboard that was wrapped around the cylinder, then removed it, and then removed the cardboard circles at each end of the cylinder. The ice cream definitely tasted better than a regular ice cream cone, but at least part of that was getting to watch the performance!

I still remember watching in breathless fascination!

This was in the ‘50’s.

Hey Guy’s Tomorrow is going to be a new day. Let’s start a new adventure. Ok ? Let’s Go.

Still, very creative.

MODERN ART!
MODERN ART!
Morninglatte said, 4 months ago

We used to go to the Y in the 60’s in 8th grade on Saturdays for girls basketball…and then walk to a DQ nearby. My mom had 6 kids so inevitably I had empty pockets…but a friend who’s parents had a store always gave her some change…and she always generously bought me a burger for about 35 cents I think. Mmmm…just a little burger with catsup and pickles. Saturday heaven.

How do I choose and avatar??
