***************************** The Canadian Mining Newsletter Sept 02 1998 ***************************** Oogh and Ugh were stooping along the old paleolith path near Tiger pond about 2.4 million years ago and occasionally they would rear back and sniff the air for Mastodon, grrrls or the relatively friendly Tigers who came down to the pond. They grunted at each other in low guttural sounds which changed inflection somewhat. "Oggahgrah guwoof a la muggy wah la winga lunga." One would say. The other would reply "mah guga wing..lugga hugan may nughy mughy." The path they trod was near the Rhine River in present day Germany in a place called Hallstat which explains all the grunting. One of the grrrls would wiggle by and Oogh would look at Ugh and wink.."ugga ugga" he would say and paw the ground.. "ha ha ha" they both grunted.. high pitched sounds of whistling came from their lips. One of the grrrls looked over sharply at them. Oog and Ugh stopped making sounds suddenly. It was dangerous apparently to make one of these creatures mad. "Mogga Mogga" said Oog shaking his head.. Ugh grimaced nodding his.. "Bad" he said. Oogh and Ugh unbeknownst to them were standing on a soft volcanic ash that would later harden into a rock geologists called phonolite. Phonolite has the property that it vibrates sympathetically with sounds in the voice range. 2.4 million years later the vibration lines of this clay had been preserved, much as water leaves wave ripples in clay river beds. The record of their conversation can be seen in the hardened rock and the caveman's conversations can be decoded and the language translated. There is what Oogh and Ugh spoke about that day and we shall see the amazing discovery that they made. Oogh: No Tigers about, lets go to the pond and take a crap and play in the water. Ugh: Sounds cool, Oogh, hey did you see that chick over there! What a rear! Oogh: Trouble is she knows it. What a bitch. I would rather take on two tigers without a club. Ugh: You know it man. Say! what's that in the water? It sure is shiny. Oogh: You mean that yellow stone? Boy its heavy! I will bet that would kill a Tiger! Or maybe knock out a grrrl if you wanted some bonga bonga! Ugh: You still knockin em out? I just burn this 5 pointed leaf in the fire and wait until they pass out. Oogh: Well I hear they will make anaesthetic illegal at the next howling-by-the-big-stone so I will stick to the socially acceptable for now. But I sure would like to find more of this yellow stone.. you know I have seen it before and it never changes... not like your black stone you make Mastodon cutter out of... It will go all red and flake off.. I would rather use the sharp stone they use over the big water at Flint, Michigan.. Ugh: Yes I agree the black stone does fade away when it gets wet.. but this yellow shiny heavy stuff is always the same. Speaking of things that never change, my regular grrrl wants some seashells to wear when we go howling and I am out of kickapoo joy juice.. I heard you had some pretty shells. What do you want for them? Oogh: How about a night with your grrrl? Ugh: Your funeral friend. Well how about some goats milk? Oogh: Grrrls all swelled up so that's not a problem. Ugh: Ok..well I have an old club and some Mastodon slip covers for the couch.. Oogh: Got ten clubs and the cave is fully furnished. And you know what? I really want to hold onto my shells right now. Why don't you go over into the next valley and get them there? Ugh: That means I have to harness the dogs to the sled and take all my stuff over the mountain to trade, just to take that damn grrrl out. Oogh: them's the breaks. Say I got bright idea! I can take this shiny yellow stone over the mountain. I have never seen any there and I will bet they give me ten clamshells for it! Ugh: What the hell they gonna use that stone for? Oogh: We already agreed it was neat and they haven't got any. So knowing them in that valley they will think they have to have it simply because we have it! Ugh:( Hits the stone with his axe.) "Lets divide it up as we both found it." (The stone flattens but will not break. He beats the stone flat.) Oogh: Hey this stuff is way kool! And it's still shiny! Wow! Ugh: It would sure solve all my debt problems if I had about ten big rocks of this stuff. Oogh: makes me cognate, Ugh, what if we used this stuff to trade all the time? Ugh: Well what if the cave guy wants clubs instead? You get clamshells and all he gets is this stupid yellow stone! Oogh: He can go to the club dealer and use the yellow stone! Buy all the damned clubs he wants. Ugh: Yes you are right.. we could use yellow stone all the time and it never gets old. Easy to make bits of it too, for small purchases.. Oogh: And you know what else.. it sure beats carrying 200 rocks of Mastodon bones 30 leagues to get one flask of of joy juice for the trip back. Ugh: Oh Oh here comes that windbag Polityugh with his ten grrrls... what a sharp toothed fish! .. and there is his friend with the cloth striped suit, Legalogh. Polityugh: Hi boys.. look what me and Legalogh discovered. (he takes a piece of charcoal and makes mark on a piece of birch bark.) I make new stuff to mark things with. I call it marks! (Remember we are in Halstatt) Legalogh: And it is very important! I declare it the subject of the next moon howling! Polityugh: he what's that neat stone there! (One of the grrrls "yes yes I want it.. its shiny!" Can I have?) well I had better get it! Ugh: What you got Polityugh? more wind? Polityugh (frowning) well I didn't bring my bones.. but.. how about some of my marks..? I make two marks on it and you can collect two bones when you get to my cave. I promise.. Ugh: Ok... as long as you say so and Legalogh is here to witness. Oogh: ha ha ha.. Legalogh. I put my very important mark on it too.. Ugh: Ok here is the stone. I come to pick up bones in three days. Polityugh: No problem, I will tell one of my assistants. Legalogh: and if it's four days we may be out of bones.. let us know you are coming on the intersmoke! Later Ogh and Ugh travel ot Polityugh's cave in the mountains and see the commotion. Polityugh is having a feast. Legalogh is making paper and marking it like mad while cavers everywhere are piling up yellow stones, furs, and bones and walking away with marks. Ugh: I see you have much yellow stone. Can I buy mine back? Polityugh. Sure! And guess what! For two marks I sell you two yellow stones! Ugh: Now it is two marks for two stones? Great! I will take one bone and one stone for my two marks. Legalogh: Sure, stones don't beat bones! You can feed bones to the cave dog. Use them as a club.. lots of utility.. You bring any bones? Ugh: one, how much you pay? Legalogh: 1/2 stones Ugh: whoah.. why so much when you sell and so little when you buy? Legalogh: Quality. We sell only top brand bones with good marrow and as a bone dealers naturally there are expenses. Oogh and Ugh return to their cave with heavy heart. One of their grrrls comes running out to greet them with big smile waving marks. Look what I got for doing bonga bonga with Legalogh.. what a sucker.." Oogh looks at Ogh.. "I got an idea.." (he takes a piece of birch bark and makes three marks on it.) "We go to next valley for a shell expedition.." ================================================================== mailto:echarter@vianet.on.ca.
