OK – who put the sphalerite in the rocky mix?

If he scores 100% on this test, I’ll make a bet he can abet.

Ah crap! Now I can’t find mine! … shoulda gone to that school!

He’s rockin’ it!

Looks more like a line of poop emojis

The guy at the back is thinking “If Sly comes out of there, I quit!”.

My GF was on a trip and wanted me to water her plants but the key code didn’t work so I messaged her. She said a key was under a rock under her patio, so I’m looking under all the rocks only one fell further away. I inch towards it but it was heavy, and I hit my head and got a concussion, it lasted over six months! Turns out it was in a different place, in one of those fake rock key holders. If only I’d known. But she was busy having fun…

That could have been my high school.

1) A real test would have numbers by the items to keep track of the answers. 2) It would have to be a very good fake rock to pass inspection at that range.

That’s a bob ken.

If I put a key of mine in a fake rock, I would also put it in someone else’s yard, after getting their permission, of course.

we have ours hidden under a boulder that you need a D9 Cat to move, so good luck with that!

As someone who loves geocaching, this is an easy skill to learn. The trouble comes when someone decides to use a masonry drill bit on a real rock.

Now what would Bleeb be doing there.

I put an extra key in my shed, but now I can’t find it. The key that is.

I wonder if he has a hide-and-way rock at his hide-a-way where he hides all his loot.

The 9 mm by my bed isn’t fake.

real rock… fake key…

Aka the IRS

I I jus

Fake tuiion

We need Lucy and Ethel to help them out

And if he passes the key-rock test, next up is the screw-top Pepsi can test!
