TIDBITS 07/20/03
If any of you want Tidbits emailed directly, let me know and
I'll take care of it. Additionally, if you have friends who you think would enjoy Tidbits, please make them aware of us...and help me increase my circulation. URL (http://www.tyler-adam.com) ====================================== This weeks installment of Tidbits is sponsored by JustBeads.com ... the Internet's fastest growing bead-only auction site. JustBeads.com....finally an auction site for JustBeads! http://www.justbeads.com ====================================== Teonanacatl Also known as: Flesh of the Gods ... dating back to the Mayan Culture from 500 B.C. on forward. Some cultures refer to it as: Sons of God. This is potent stuff folks. You can eat it ... pound it to a pulp ... liquefy it and drink it ... make wall paintings depicting it ... make stone statues depicting it ... cook with it ... and even make jewelry depicting it in its most splendiferous form. It can be viewed as a phallic symbol ... it can make you see things that aren't there. It can make you feel low ... it can make you feel blue. It can put you into a trance ... it can make you want to dance .... it can make you see a fly ... it can make you feel you're high. It's been used as an aphrodisiac ... it's been used as a love potion. It's a food ... it's a drug ... it's a paradigm for a bejeweled clock .... date of creation unknown. For the ancient and the not so ancient ... for the anachronistically inclined and for the modern man questing new psychedelic ventures into the surreal world of yesterday's medicine man ... for today's gourmet on his never ending probe into the palate satisfying world of haute-cuisine ... for the random elf or leprechaun needing a rest from his wearying labors ... for the jewelry artist seeking to express his talents in new and exciting ways ... little in this world is as satisfying on all these fronts as the lowly 'shroom. Yes ladies and gennulmen ... step right up and drink it in. Want a high ... come on by. Follow the old adage when using it for food: When in doubt ... leave it out. How old is the mushroom you may all well ask. How old is humanity I may well respond. And the clock? The clock? The clock? Oh ... that. Circa 1932 it was I believe. Made by Cartier in Paris. Le Flamboyant was created. A Mushroom Clock as it were. In celebration of who knows what. A little trinket ... a gimcrack ... for those with a few extra bucks stashed away in an old sock for the very purposes of purhcasing such a much needed bauble. Made of gold and silver. Set with 1540 brilliants. 1 ruby. 12 emeralds. 230 green tourmalines. 230 iolites. 140 pink tourmalines. 169 citrines. With mother-of-pearl ... lapis lazuli ... and onyx. Let's hear that drumroll. Ta rah rah boom-de-yayyy .... May I present .... for your viewing enjoyment ... that amazing ... that amizing ... that astounding and stupendous ... the one ... the only ... the 'shroom of the century. For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: 'Shroom ... where you'll see an image of a multi-colored clock of great stunimosoty. And there ya have it. That's it for this week folks. Catch you all next week. Benjamin Mark All issues of Tidbits are copyrighted and available from our home page.
