Rox Fall

rox-fall
Okay, did one you send me a fake rock from California?  Because I’m in possession of one fake rock with no note addressed to me and I know we didn’t order a fake rock.

    Well, I will cop to being from kooky California, but alas, I did not send you a fake rock. *chortles*
    I am curious though, is that one of the stranger things you’ve received?

  3. booboomagoogoo

    lmao thats hilarious…

  4. sbg2vie

    haha :D that’s a cool idea (as long as you get only one)! Now you can throw ‘rocks’ at your manuscript and vent some of the frustration ;)

  5. SAM

    LMAO

    Well aren’t you the one who keeps saying ..rocks fall everyones dies or something like that. Still laughing…so maybe they sent you fake rocks sooo….. fake rocks fall everyone starts a fake rock fight. :)

      lmao! I hadn’t thought of that, but i have to agree

    Interesting gift! I’m curious as well if this is one of the weirder gifts you’ve ever gotten? Because IMO, a fake rock is pretty up there on the list of weird. ;)

  7. Nurslings

    uh… weird….

    lol

  8. Jana

    ROTFL. How clever.

  9. Allie

    My American hostfamily head this dog who would (in winter) sometimes poop in the hall. He was an enormous dog and so where his…leftovers. My hostmother, a very softspoken and wellmanered lady, used to say “I hate sh** ” with a lot of feeling. That made me burst out laughing. And while we both tried to clean the mess up, we would laugh our heads of. So for Christmas she got me this beautiful box. It was midnight blue felt on the outside and had this intricate little lock. And when I opened it, there was an enormous pile of plastic sh** in there…
    I absolutely loved her and her (interesting) kind of humor. So, cheers to the person, who send the rock ^^

    Well .. I think you are brave. If fans sent me gifts I would be poking them with sticks first and then opening them with gloves and a mask.

    I may have seen too many late night horror movies growing up.

  12. B-ster

    ROFL, that is hilarious. I didn’t send it, but oh man, that is funny. Creepy too maybe, but funny.

  13. Debra

    I think it’s totally brilliant!!

    I wish I had thought of sending you a rock first!

    *Rocks fall. Everyone dies* has become a much loved part of my vocabulary since I read it here. It’s very useful for those days when nothing works right..

    What do you do with a fake rock?

    1. readingrush

      put it your garden?

      1. Sekhmet

        I thought thats what real rocks were for?

    2. Christina

      Put some googly eyes on it and place it near the keyboard/monitor — so it stares at you as you work.

      Don’t forget to give it a name.

      1. CheeseBK

        I suggest Roxy :D

  15. knight

    well now you have something to throw at your manuscript with.
    *rocks fall everyone die’s* LMAO!

  16. Cali

    Ahahaha, that is hilarious XD But why send a fake one? Don’t real ones cost less?

    1. MaryK

      Because fake rocks are cheaper to ship? :D

      And it wasn’t me, I live in La.

      1. hapalochlaena

        And you can have them in the exact shape you want.

  17. pklagrange

    Sorry – live in VA. Great idea! Kudos to the source!

  18. Annya

    LOL that’s fun ! a bit creepy too, now you must be really carefull with what you said ^^ ( 10 millions dollars fall … ).
    By the way; that’s not me, i live in France and i have no idea where you can buy a fake rock !

  19. SAM

    I must be old. Doesn’t anyone remember the whole Rock pet thing? If you couldn’t have dog, cat, bird…etc… the hype was you can have a pet rock. Perfect for the kids with allergies. sigh

    1. AndreaS

      I remember pet rocks. I had one (and I don’t consider myself old).
      My friend also had a “weather rock”. A weather rock will tell you when it’s raining! And it always 100% gaurantees there will be weather.

      1. SAM

        Thank you ..you made me feel better. :) I never heard of weather rocks before. Hail stones maybe but not rocks ;)

    I think it’s funny. Maybe after you did the post about not sending you things the person didn’t want to be identified? Or perhaps they just forgot to put the note in, I do stuff like that all the time. Or it’s part of the great fake rock conspiracy.

  21. JenniLyne

    Oooooo… Does it have a secret compartment?

    I am currently residing in Utah and cannot be blamed. I tip my hat to the culprit, though. Bravo!

  22. AndreaS

    I thought the purpose of a fake rock was putting a key in the hollow inside. That way, when you lock yourself out of the house you just need to find the fake rock.

  23. Sunscented

    note to self:
    1. aquire address of ilona andrews
    2. think of something even more clever then rock and send it!

    Seriously. That’s great! I only wish I’d thought of it first!

  24. S.A. Storz

    Now you’ve done it, Ilona. you’ll be getting clever, unusable objects, with blog referances from all around; all competing for originality rights….

    best of luck!!

  25. SAM

    Thank you for sharing Ilona this was funny.

  26. S.A. Storz

    LOL! we should pool our money and get them one… a usable gift… huh

  27. SAM

    I am willing….after all they are moving.

  28. Requiem

    I sense a pun about pet rocks rearing its ugly head.

  29. Ginny

    nope, not me. I don’t even live on the same continent ;) but it IS kind of funny… :)
