Funny thing is, Josh, that when I saw your name on the last post in this thread, I was trying to figure out how you were going to create something you could call an album out of rocks. I was picturing some kind of Flintstones thing, but you went another direction. Still, I was pretty close. The fact that I know your mind that well is kinda scary to me.
