my question is where the F**k is she getting all this paper from 1843?? Her other crap…I mean craft she sells ALSO has some shit written on paper from 1843
If there was a picture of her fighting ghostly vikings and robots to get the rock from the river decoupaged onto the other side of the rock, well, then we might have a deal.

HK, I love your poem. It’s going to be my next tattoo. Or bumper sticker. Or maybe my line of maternity shirts. Or maybe all of the above.
I would like to take this moment to point out that granite is more radioactive than standing outside the fence at three mile island. Not that it has anything to do with anything.
No need to destroy antique books, my dear. Buy yourself a magnetic poetry kit from Spencer’s and call it a day.
Besides, I can make up stupid shit too:
“Warning, under pressure, away from yourself
A bitter reside in the mouth
Large amounts of water and fresh air
Instant Death”
I took these words from the can of vintage computer cleaner sitting on my desk. Printed on vintage Charmin from the 1980′s and decoupaged onto a vintage hubcap. OOAK. Steampunk.
For $3 I am extremely tempted to buy this and give it a Regretsy makeover, but I also don’t want to encourage her to make more of these. Maybe I can just find* a natural stone* and decoupage* a poem* printed on 1843* paper onto it myself.
Hey, kids! Do you hate it when you buy something that CLAIMS to be from 1843 and then you get it and it looks like a magnetic poem kit from Spencer’s?? So do I, which is why I invented the “HOME CARBON DATING KIT!”!!!
For $19.95, 12.87 for shipping and processing, you too can own a HOME CARBON DATING KIT! With the home carbon dating kit, you will never again be duped into buying a rock with a poem on it without confirming that it is indeed, from 1843!
This kit will pay for itself!
But only if you find someone else who is more of an idiot than you are to sell it to!
Buy the HOME CARBON DATING KIT now! For birthdays! Christmas and other December-ish holidays! EASTER! Need to find out if that Shroud in the attic is the REAL THING?? GET THE HOME CARBON DATING KIT!

“PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN’T GET STONED”
or something like that
1843 are the last 4 numbers from the library card catalogue. $3.00 is just the down payment .25 per day for the overdue book that was destroyed to make these
I was wondering… anyone know how long it takes dog shit to dry out? I want to decoupage them with Confucius quotes and sell them on Etsy as Nuggets of Wisdom.
Wow, I think it’s happened, I’ve finally seen evidence of someone with less artistic ability than me. Didn’t think it was possible, but this stupid product is probably one of the dumbest, least creative things I have ever seen in my life.

She destroyed a children’s magazine from 1843 for this? I can just hear my college’s rare book library wincing.
November 5, 2010 at 9:40 am
Rock covers paper, but who wins with this piece?
October 11, 2011 at 9:37 am
Looks like the scissors did all the damage
November 5, 2010 at 9:40 am
Are you sure that rock came from a river? Because it looks like the rocks you find around the Ace Hardware parking lot.

I like it, but can I get it with Slam Poetry instead?
November 5, 2010 at 9:45 am
Using paper from 1843 is totally steampunk!
November 5, 2010 at 9:47 am
Cover it with Swarovski crystals and I’ll buy it. I want the prettiest murder weapon in the evidence box.
November 5, 2010 at 9:48 am
Can I get one that says “May the quartz be with you”?
November 5, 2010 at 9:49 am
I find $3.00 a bit steep for a maudlin sentiment on a piece of granite. I would, however, gladly pay twice the price for HK’s.
November 5, 2010 at 9:49 am
put some googly eyes on it and sell it as the Regretsy Petsy rock. For charity.

Just goes to show either a humble rock or a shitload of Swarovski crystals can be equally useless in the right hands.
November 5, 2010 at 9:58 am
Mayb she can give it a name and make it a pet steampunk rock.
Make a cute little monicle for Sir Fagin Quirke. Send some ownership papers….

I would feel like I was being taken if it just said “Paper from my printer glued to a rock”.
Truth in advertising!
November 5, 2010 at 10:21 am
Oh I know!!! 1843 is the paper SKU from the craft store.
November 5, 2010 at 10:22 am
Josh – you could always send the seller a letter of query.. I mean quarry.
November 5, 2010 at 10:24 am
It was printed using her Hewlett Packard 1843 ZXi printer.

It’s one of my things.

Last time I went river rafting I must have written a good dozen extra chapters to war & peace, and didn’t even know it.

I’m just going to point out that s/he only wants $3 for this. $30 and we could mock much more heartily.

Luckily, this item is still for sale:

A Haiku For Regretsy
I wrote poetry
For many long, lonely years
No rocks would take them.
November 5, 2010 at 11:51 am
“Stoned” poem is more like it. Wait a minute – it’s sold? I’ll bet I know what Rob Kalin is getting for Christmas!
November 5, 2010 at 11:54 am
1843? That’s child’s play. I found a copy of the dead sea scrolls and I’m gonna decoupage a kitchen stool with it.
November 5, 2010 at 11:54 am
Ok…since haiku seems popular today:
Rock, paper, scissors,
All went into making this
Piece of effin crap
November 5, 2010 at 11:59 am
#28 Patty – I would totally buy your kit if you dropped the price to $18.43.
November 5, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I think I understand the paper from 1843 bit: she found some blank paper in her attic and it’s very old.
I have some monogrammed paper from my first wedding. It’s from 1978 – that makes it vintage, right?
November 5, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Buzzkill, that actually does make it vintage, according to Etsy rules.
November 5, 2010 at 12:32 pm
The poem gets much more interesting if you think of it as the iris of someone’s eye, rather than a flower.
November 5, 2010 at 12:37 pm
What a waste of 1843 paper.

oy.
November 5, 2010 at 1:02 pm
$3.00 is a deal, considering the costs of travelling back in time to buy paper.
November 5, 2010 at 2:15 pm
I will take 1,000 of these stones … and a catapult.
November 5, 2010 at 3:29 pm
The lines shouldn’t have been sealed on. They’d have made as much sense, and for fun times, if they’d been left able to be interchanged.
November 5, 2010 at 3:54 pm
how do we know the paper is really antique it could have just been chemically treated for all we know to look old.
November 5, 2010 at 3:57 pm
i have a REAL book from 1870 and the type is much smaller than this, looks different, and the lack of ink blots make me doubt the age of this
November 5, 2010 at 4:31 pm
#52 it says she prints the poem on old paper. I don’t think the text is supposed to be old.
November 5, 2010 at 7:36 pm
WAH-LAH:
November 6, 2010 at 8:47 am
Not to be a buzzkill, but I’m pretty sure the POEM is from 1843 and the paper is present tense.
The rock is best part and the whole thing is still stupid.
