Dinosaur spotting competition.

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

I think the person who lists the most number of dinasuar jewelers deserves a free $25 ideal-scope.
If they participate here then they get 2 points, otherwise it is 1 per business or 1 per individual.
They must all be actively involved in selling diamonds

Different jewelers appeal to different people. What some may consider a dinosaur may be exactly what others are looking for.

Please define a dinosaur jeweler? Is it a bad thing? If it is, what's the point of being negative about people who might post here or who don't necessarily agree with your findings? Are they hurting anyone?

yeah, definitely need to lay off of the question marks...

 

[JohnQuixote]

How about some harmless fictional ones?

VS-iraptor
Ideal-a-dactyl

…and the fearsome

Tolkowskysaurus Rex.

couldnt agree more with Rachel, nicely said...

Garry,I have the utmost respect for you and what you've taught me and others here, but isn't this a bit mean spirited?

 

[JohnQuixote]

Would it lighten the mood to offer up the

Garry-dactyl

or the John-tosaurus?

 

[denverappraiser]

Isn't the John-tasaurus related to the Porsche-dactyle?

 

[JohnQuixote]

Neil,

Indeed it is, and I hope not to extinct myself.

(if I was offering a Dino'Scope you would be the winner!)

I'd like to think that this post was written with a light heart, with no ill will meant for anyone.
So let me ask- Garry- If the Grand Prize is an Ideal Scope- is second prize 2 Ideal Scopes?

PS- John- I enjoy my ride home in an 01 BoxsterS.
You?

 

[JohnQuixote]

David,

03 Boxster here.

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

I love your sense of humor David

Yes, I think we should consider this a joke, or maybe it is a provocation for DiaGem

The discussion about light return in annother thread made me wonder.

Sorry folks - lets scrap this competiton, and replace it with something more positive - we can have a competition to decide what the competition should be.
Then david you could win 2 scopes

But just so that i have not hurt your feelings - How about I send you a free $25 scope (or if you wish David, pay the additional amount and upgrade to the expert scope) and then I will have saved you from extinction

BTW did anyone read why bigger stronger animals become extinct faster in the Economist a week or 2 back?

 

[Nicrez]

I have one in 1/16th the size...Burago?

Actually, I suppose a dinosaur jeweler is one who tells me that Only Tiffany's sells Radiants, or that they never saw a SQUARE Radiant, as they just don't cut them like that....

Oooookay....

Great cars! I don't get why the people who spent a lot more for the other models look so far down their noses at them. Talk about dinosaurs!

I'm liking the subtle changes to the '05... Definitely a great car and one that I'm considering for a spare car to take to the track... if I can ignore that diamond call.

Though I'm still a sucker for the wide bodies. A friend had a C4S... yummy.

 

[strmrdr]

Well I looked in the mirror so shouldnt I get a prize
for getting that close to a dinosaur by Gary's definition????
Well I spose since I aint in the trade it dont count....

Steve - here's your ^5.

Hmm...Nice rides.

Perhaps I'll start a thread in Diamond Hangout to discuss "A boys best friend" (girls included of course, Rachel!).
