Oh, the hours and hours of pure, unalloyed joy this man brought into my life. I used to take my pet rock with me everywhere, on walks, for rides in the car, to the opera. A truly sad moment in American life.
"JACKSONVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Gary Ross Dahl, the creator of the wildly popular 1970s fad the Pet Rock, has died at age 78 in southern Oregon.
Dahl's wife, Marguerite Dahl, confirmed Tuesday that her husband of 40 years died March 23 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...
In 1975, he was a Los Gatos, California, advertising executive when he came up with the Pet Rock idea."
"This is the most lavishly funded and entirely moronic foreign ministry on the planet."~~Mark Steyn's description of the US State Dept.
