Well, not when he knows its me we're not...
Please post your best guess here -

To compensate for not having a big red ring?
Perhaps it was an award for selling the most Teddy Bear towels at the Polo outlet store..

Turquoise is very Aztec to my mind... But I may be wrong. I'm thinking of all those hours I've wasted in museums... After a while I can no longer tell my Inca from my elbow in those places...
Can we link any of this together yet?

Didn't all the cultists in Rosemary's Baby all wear some sort of common, identifying jewelry?

Re: The Origin Of The Big Blue Ring?
