Subject: Re: The Ring

Scott,

All right, as requested, I’ve been looking up all manner of rings and what have you - would you believe that the idea of rings for both partners only came into vogue in the 1920s? And that diamonds’ worth comes exclusively from diamond companies hoarding them rather than any actually scarcity of them? I could probably make a diamond for you out of some graphite with the particle collider down in the lab, if you gave me a pencil. It’s a fascinating process, and it’d give it a nice personal touch. Though we’d have to persuade the Professor not to put an X on it.

Oh yes, rings.

I’ve attached eighty different rings that I think Jean would like, labelled with approximate indexes of my estimates for how much she likes them and how much you’re likely to be swindled by the dealer in question. Most of them are traditional rings with precious stones (I’ve avoided rubies, don’t worry), but I also included several choices of Claddagh rings. And also one toe ring, though that’s mostly because I thought it was an interesting practise.

I’ll spare you the history - for now - of Claddagh, but suffice it to say, it’s a traditional Irish ring which follows a format of hands, heart and crown, representing, in order, friendship, love, and loyalty.

(Yes, I know you’re not Irish, but these things are beautiful. And you’re all but related to me, ergo McCoy, ergo Gallowglass, ergo shut up Jean will like them, also in your price range.)

I’ll explain them to you if you’re interested after looking at them, but they have a particular way of being worn that subtly indicates the relationship status of the wearer, ranging from single to in a relationship to engaged to married - but, naturally, only to those who are looking, which I thought might be a nice little piece of knowledge you two and a few others can delight.

Also, excellent talking point if it comes up in conversation. CULTURE! It’s important. Also, imagine telling Sean and Moira!

Get back to me, Slim. Also, Twinkies. Pick them up.

Yours,

Hank.

[01/11/2013 23:46:27] Honk McCoil: I am. :3

[01/11/2013 23:46:41] Mags: Walking on your hands FFFFFFFFFFF

[01/11/2013 23:46:57] Honk McCoil: Well it means my feet stay nice and fresh. 8D

[01/11/2013 23:47:14] Mags: Feet are gross no matter what

[01/11/2013 23:47:22] Honk McCoil: Says you.

[01/11/2013 23:47:35] Ric: Honk do you have a foot fetish

[01/11/2013 23:47:43] Honk McCoil: Dude, it's Hank.

[01/11/2013 23:47:48] Honk McCoil: His feet are hands.

[01/11/2013 23:47:55] Honk McCoil: He can't really HAVE a foot fetish.

[01/11/2013 23:47:59] Honk McCoil: It'd be like having a hand fetish.

[01/11/2013 23:48:00] Mags: GROSS

[01/11/2013 23:48:11] Anna Vale: I feel like I came in a very good moment.

[01/11/2013 23:48:11] Anna Vale: xD

[01/11/2013 23:48:15] Ric: I'm sure there are people with a hand fetish

[01/11/2013 23:48:29] Ric: Hi Anna

[01/11/2013 23:48:31] Honk McCoil: Yeah, but it's like . . .

[01/11/2013 23:48:40] Honk McCoil: You are invariably going to use hands in sex.

[01/11/2013 23:48:44] Honk McCoil: Unless you don't have hands.

[01/11/2013 23:48:55] Mags: >8C

[01/11/2013 23:49:00] Anna Vale: Hi Ric :3

[01/11/2013 23:49:01] Honk McCoil: It doesn't really count as a fetish.

[01/11/2013 23:49:04] Ric: *cough*Hellion*cough*

[01/11/2013 23:49:08] Mags: HA

[01/11/2013 23:49:27] Anna Vale: I don't think hands are a fetish, I think it's just... I don't know how to say it.

[01/11/2013 23:49:41] Ric: I know people who find some hands very attractive

[01/11/2013 23:49:51] Ric: (like my mom *shudders*)

[01/11/2013 23:49:54] Anna Vale: A detail that some people just give too much attention.

[01/11/2013 23:50:00] Anna Vale: I'm a fan of hands.

[01/11/2013 23:50:08] Honk McCoil: I think most people are a fan of hands.

[01/11/2013 23:50:10] Ric: she likes piano players' hands a lot

[01/11/2013 23:50:31] Honk McCoil: I don't think there are many people out there who are like 'you know what sucks? Hands. Just hands. Man. I'm gonna cut off mine right now.'

[01/11/2013 23:50:46] Honk McCoil: Just saying.

[01/11/2013 23:50:57] Honk McCoil: It's like having a face fetish.

[01/11/2013 23:50:59] Anna Vale: If there are, they're probably characters in American Horror Story.

[01/11/2013 23:51:02] Honk McCoil: *snorts*

[01/11/2013 23:51:05] Honk McCoil: Very true.

[25/10/2013 06:49:40] tiny goopy elf: they go stale

[25/10/2013 06:49:41] Henry McCoy: If you mean chips as in what Americans would call fries, then yes, they do go off like any other food.

[25/10/2013 06:49:53] Mags: No I mean chips as in...ruffles XD

[25/10/2013 06:49:59] Mags: I'm not sure how old this bag is

[25/10/2013 06:50:08] tiny goopy elf: i dont think one will kill you

[25/10/2013 06:50:10] Mags: Nope

[25/10/2013 06:50:12] tiny goopy elf: if you open it and test

[25/10/2013 06:50:15] Henry McCoy: Then you're probably fine.

[25/10/2013 06:50:23] Henry McCoy: I've never known stuff like that to go off if it was sealed.

[25/10/2013 06:50:35] Henry McCoy: Unless it's from like the 90s.

[25/10/2013 06:50:39] Henry McCoy: In which case no.

[25/10/2013 06:50:41] tiny goopy elf: honk did you know we don't really say "go off" in the states

[25/10/2013 06:50:46] Henry McCoy: You don't?

[25/10/2013 06:50:47] Mags: I just really need something salty and I ate all the pretzels.

Okay if I die its goopys fault. Here it goes XD

[25/10/2013 06:51:00] tiny goopy elf: so once when I was teaching british english, one of my students made a sentence that was like "the milk went off"
