Hi List Members!

I thought I might share a few more reasons why I am the Most
Interesting Meteorite Man in the World -

I gave fully-crusted peas a chance.

Nomads ask me for directions.

Where I walk in the sand, I leave footprints made of Desert Glass.

Every meteorite I touch becomes a "historical".

If I handed you a rusted-up Nantan dog, you would have to fight the
urge to thank me.


Best regards and happy huntings!

Hmmm

The Old Woman came to me rather than me planning the expedition to retrieve 
her.


Barringer Crater buried the centered meteorite in my honor, and then 
exploded it before the drills arrived.


The reknowned Camels in the Outback procreated with me in mind.

Lunar feldspathic breccias fractured at my very presence.

Asteroids change lanes for me.

My workout regiment is to taylored that even TP thin sections are jealous.

The condrules now absent in our achondrites melted at the very mention of my 
name.


I love beer.

[meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World

2011-01-28 Thread JoshuaTreeMuseum

MikeG;  excellent comedic writing, funniest stuff  I've read in a long time.

--

Instead of pumice, my wife prefers to use nakhlite to exfoliate her feet. So 
I'm down at the museum having the scientists cut a 400 gram block out of the 
back of the Lafayette meteorite for her, when lo and behold, I spot the 
world's first interstellar meteorite amongst the collection! The idiots had 
it mis-labeled as a brachinite. After running a few tests, I determined it 
originated in the asteroid belt of Proxima Centauri and was composed of pure 
compressed cosmic dust. When my wife mentioned she was bored with her 
regular mud pack of ground up Tagish Lake, the scientists insisted we take 
half of the proximite to replace it.  As we were leaving, a NASA guy gave us 
a multi-kilo basalt rock picked up by Neil Armstrong on the lunar maria to 
use in our aquarium. Then when I get home, I discover that the Danish 
National Museum had installed the Agpalilik in the lobby of my mansion. They 
explained they just had it sitting around outside and thought it might look 
nice in my home, which is constructed entirely of NWA meteorites, each one 
individually shaped by an Amish master stone cutter.

Greetings List Members,

Having just returned from hunting meteorites in Antarctica (in my
shorts), I thought I would share some of the things that make me - The
Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World.


I once came home empty-handed from meteorite-hunting, just to see what
it felt like.

Rare Earth magnets are attracted to me.

My silver tongue sets off metal detectors.

All of my finds are fully crusted and oriented.

Museum curators give me their keys.

My visual pairings are as accurate as an electron microprobe.

Every meteorite in my collection is a main mass.

If a meteorite from Venus is found, NonCom will name it after me.

Property owners knock on my door after a meteorite fall.

All of my meteorites have a pleasant aroma.

Meteoriticists ask for my opinion.

If you find a meteorite while hunting with me, it will always be an

achondrite.


The Smithsonian has me on speed-dial.

I can identify minerals and phases at a glance.

All of my meteorwrongs turn out to be new types of meteorite.

NASA's Johnson Space Center allows me to handle all of their
meteorites with bare hands.

I have never lost a meteorite auction, and I never pay too much.

My touch removes caliche.

The meteorites I traded away are rusting, because they are sad and miss
me.

Every year, a meteorite falls on my birthday.

All of my export permits are approved instantly.

I have memorized every Meteoritical Bulletin.

If I witness a fireball, I can calculate exactly where the meteorite 
will

fall.


My glasses are cross-polarized.

My touch will etch a polished iron.

I could have bought Meteor Crater, but I am waiting for a new one.

Harvey Nininger had a tattoo of me.

My chessboard is a slab of Esquel pallasite and the pieces are
polished lunaites.

All of my pets can find meteorites.

"No Trespassing" signs make an exception for me.

More will be forthcoming, but right now, I am thirsty

reasons I am the Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World :

I put the "HEDO" in Hedonism.

When I give a meteorite to Chicago Steve, he keeps it for life.

My garden is a strewnfield.

I won the Meteoritical Society's Lifetime Achievement Award - twice.

When ANSMET first arrived at the Thiel Mountains, I was waiting with a
thermos of hot coffee.

When Google receives a meteorite-related query, they call me.

My metal detector's discriminator will ignore ugly meteorites.

I once found a meteorite in Shangri-La.

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG

Greetings List Members,


A few more points to consider about the Most Interesting Meteorite Man
in the World -

The diamonds on my blades are flawless.

It's difficult to draw blood from me because I have shock veins.

My irons are silicated, my woods have Sikhotes embedded in them, and I
have no handicap.

Weathering makes me look more distinguished.

My furniture is finished with desert varnish.

My opinions are completely unequilibrated.

When I trade, everyone comes out ahead.


Now I smell a fine Mandheling with my name on it.  :)

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG

Hello all,

Too Good to pass up.
This is not only clever, to me this is a Classic!

I want to print this post, have it professionally framed, meet with Mike and
have him sign it (if he agrees), we'll both package it and send it to Capt.

Greetings List Members,

Having just returned from hunting meteorites in Antarctica (in my
shorts), I thought I would share some of the things that make me - The
Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World.


I once came home empty-handed from meteorite-hunting, just to see what
it felt like.

Rare Earth magnets are attracted to me.

My silver tongue sets off metal detectors.

All of my finds are fully crusted and oriented.

Museum curators give me their keys.

My visual pairings are as accurate as an electron microprobe.

Every meteorite in my collection is a main mass.

If a meteorite from Venus is found, NonCom will name it after me.

Property owners knock on my door after a meteorite fall.

All of my meteorites have a pleasant aroma.

Meteoriticists ask for my opinion.

If you find a meteorite while hunting with me, it will always be an
achondrite.

The Smithsonian has me on speed-dial.

I can identify minerals and phases at a glance.

All of my meteorwrongs turn out to be new types of meteorite.

NASA's Johnson Space Center allows me to handle all of their
meteorites with bare hands.

I have never lost a meteorite auction, and I never pay too much.

My touch removes caliche.

The meteorites I traded away are rusting, because they are sad and miss
me.

Every year, a meteorite falls on my birthday.

All of my export permits are approved instantly.

I have memorized every Meteoritical Bulletin.

If I witness a fireball, I can calculate exactly where the meteorite will
fall.

My glasses are cross-polarized.

My touch will etch a polished iron.

I could have bought Meteor Crater, but I am waiting for a new one.

Harvey Nininger had a tattoo of me.

My chessboard is a slab of Esquel pallasite and the pieces are
polished lunaites.

All of my pets can find meteorites.

"No Trespassing" signs make an exception for me.

More will be forthcoming, but right now, I am thirsty

He doesn't need to go meteorite hunting because they always fall through the
