What I called you all, (not "y'all"), here to discuss is dinosaur feces. Y'know, dino poop * . Oh all right, fine then. Coprolite. Happy now? It seems that some folks are fashioning jewelry out of this crap.
I have never been one to miss a marketing opportunity when I see it, and so I have some trade names for these erm, accessories. Didn't you just know when someone finally got their shit together, somebody else would find a place for it?Let's face it, a name is everything. How many people would rush to buy something called "a small device that holds thousands of tunes and/or videos"? Right, iPod is the sexy noun. Hence my list of dino poop. These descriptive terms can be applied to watches, neckwear, earrings, cuff links, whatever the manufacturer comes up with.
1. Exstinks®
2. Tyrannosaurus Reeks®
3. Stinkosaurus®
4. Pturdodactyls®
5. Velocicraptor®
The perfect company for these beauties? Why, Fossil of course, they could start a "Poorassic Park®" line. If you hear from them, just give 'em my number.
* Many thanks to Crotchety Old Man Yells At Cars for the inspiration.

I think this is a great marketing tool. We could all start selling poop. Have a great steak dinner and the next morning gather up the remains of said steak, dehydrate it and sell it as steak dinner in a necklace. I'm all for it.
I guess when someone says "I spent my money on a bunch of crap" they'll mean it literally" And it's way prettier than anything I've seen my dogs drop! Great post. I read the last one..sorry about all your troubles...hopefully 2009 will be the turnaround year!!!
Exstinks is my favorite, though Ty Reeks is pretty good, too.
OK. I give up. I go to crotchety's and "guessed" it was poop. I come here and find out I was right. But ya know, that dinosaur poop was pretty, in a shitty kinda way. OK. I had to do it. Too easy.
Darn it! And here Christmas is over!
As I told da Old Man, it's all about marketing..these are truly 'organic' 'circle of life' emotionally 'fertilizing' treasures.
