Wazzit: [ul] - one of those desk toys with colourful liquid inside…but, kinda past its prime, the liquid moves less fluidly, kinda crawls along now, more like a Nickelodeon-inspired gook than a fast-whirling toy? - knee-high stockings? - a high-bouncing ball? _hopehopehope_[/ul] **eep!** \* I just previewed and saw **Diane** ’s hints. So, it can’t be #1 on my list. But the description is so purty, I’m gonna let it stay. Hope I’m not disqualified. 😃 * * * - Sounds like the old Macintosh “wild eep.” ---

Hmm. A stone, taken from a beach or other body of water? Is its function purely decorative? Is it man made? When you say it fits in your hand, do you mean it’s small enough to fit in your hand, or that it’s shaped in a way that fits in your hand? Is it of one-piece construction? Is it made to represent some larger object, person, or thing? ---
