The Mystery Rock of Glen Tarff

 

Yes, THAT famous Mystery Rock of Glen Tarff.  

Why is it mysterious?  No-one remembers. 

Where exactly is it?  Sorry, privileged information.

Bonus - Squished.

Finally....The Rock Has Come To... Slide Guy

 

Regular readers should know not to expect a 35mm Slide Image of Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson. Especially on a Tedious Tuesday.

Other folks...lured here on a misleading label.... sorry. This is just a dull 35mm slide of a rock. Possibly igneous in nature. Maybe this one in Cornwall.

Bonus Joke : 

Two clowns are eating a cannibal

Suddenly, one turns to the other and says, "I think I messed up the joke."

Rock Fans

 

A wonderful slide, but alas, no information.  Looks early 1950's to me, and that seems a fairly photogenic location but Google doesn't help much. 

Google suggests it might be Balanced Rock, nr Colorado Springs.... but it doesn't look right to me. (NB : the image might be left-right mirrored.)

Anyone have a suggestion?

Bonus - 

Huh?

 

So, yes, yesterday's slide was a little tedious. Mundane Monday??

So, posting another Tedious Tuesday slide could be viewed as uniquely unfair on you, they loyal viewers of this blog.

As a result, today's slide is from the "Huh?" side of teh tracks.

Being cultured users of Google, I'm sure that you've worked out that this is the Inscription Rock from El Morro National Monument.

Ostracized On A Rock

When the small Norwegian community of Skoglholt  found out about the unnatural desires of the threesome of Agnes, Marta and Carlos, they subjected then to the most severe punishment that their church.

They were stranded on a rock in the stream for a period of three hours, one summer afternoon.

It is a very silly punishment.

Bonus - RIP Arte Johnson

Plaque commemorates Daniel Webster, the American Orator and Politician.
