Geologic language is very conducive to puns. It’s inevitable: you get two geologists together in the same room, they’re gonna let loose with some geo puns. It’s as certain as gabbro being called “black granite” by purveyors of quality countertops. And we can keep it up past the point of reason. But we’re very gneiss …

No, I’m not going to show you what “this” is. I’m going to make you go look. It’s got to do with cats, ducklings, a shark, and a Roomba. You’re totally going to go look now, right? Swallow what you’re drinking first. Right? That was hysterically cute. I shall now make it worse by bombarding …

My heart sister Nicole posted this for me on Facebook. She knows me entirely too well. The moment I saw it, I fell deeply in love, and knew I had to share it with you. I think you lot will love it as much as I did: That whole damned thing is so very, very …

It’s a fantastic time of year, my darlings! The birds are out and about, singing lustily as they endeavor to find someone to perform one of the three Fs with, and the new leaves aren’t big enough for the feathery bastards to hide behind.
