You didn't leave enough room. The year isn't over yet.
I have a little diamond chip. The others are all zirconium. I need that big diamond so mama can have something for Christmas.

You still have another month to MD. and a 2 month head start on next year. Don't throw in the towel yet! Get out there and find a couple(oh well) a bunch more rings.
Those Canadians think they can find all the good stuff. Well bring them down here to the states and see how well they can do.
They will find out our fingers are plumper and we don't lose our rings. We put chili sauce and cheese on our fries! How do they expect to keep rings on their fingers by putting vinegar on their fries. 
I challenge you John-Edmonton. Come down here to Florida and we will see what you can find.
You will find out you can get a sun burn in December.

I really am afraid to ask, but what is the Hog and Hominy Effect???
[size=small]...During the Civil War, the diet here in the South was notable for its two primary constituents: Pork and Corn. The pork was mostly potted, salted and smoked and the corn was lie-soaked, dried and ground...other wise known as "hominy meal," or as we in Dixie lovingly refer to it, "grits".
At the time, most Yankee soldiers were forced to live off the land, stealing...er, rather "commandeering" from the locals such comestibles as could be found. Invariably this was the above mentioned foods and came to be derisively known by the liberating troops as "Hog and "Hominy" - a diet they soon tired of and were eager to leave behind once they got home to more civilized foodstuffs.
Well, there are few foods a good Southerner likes more than fried porkchops with gravy, collard greens and fatback, all accompanied by a large hunk of fresh baked cornbread. The modern day equivalent of Hog and Hominy.
And while such a diet is delicious and sustains life quite well, it also tends to "fatten-up" the eater!
So, to put it plainly, chubby people dont lose rings. If anything, they tend to swell up and any rings they may be wearing become firmly stuck, nay EMBEDDED, on their pudgy fingers.
I refer to this phenom as the "Hog and Hominy Effect," clingling stubbornly to it as the reason why I dont find as many rings as my fellow dirt-diggers.[/size]

Ah grits and gravy, collard greens, hush puppies and fried cat fish. You're making me hungry. How well do you do on Rocky Mountain Oysters, sweet breads, or scrambled eggs and brains?
