It's been 10 years now since My Rare One and I visited Stonehenge in 2009. It was a dream come true for me! So to mark that anniversary, here are some memes and LOLs about the world's most famous neolithic stone circle.
Those are great! Husband said when he went with his parents, when he was little, he and his sister ran around between the rocks and touched them. Now, you can't get near them. What was it like when you visited? -Jenn
@ coffeeontheporchwithme -- Hi Jenn, yes, the general public is no longer allowed to walk among the stones because the vast numbers of visitors would put too much environmental stress on the site. But for half an hour at sunrise and again at sunset every day, approximately two dozen special tickets are available which do allow ticket holders to go among the stones. As you can imagine, these tickets are in great demand and must be purchased far in advance. Our tout guide had sunset tickets for our group so we got up close and personal with Stonehenge! In fact, she led us in a Druid ritual there. It was magical!
These are great! I got to visit Stonehenge many long years ago. We were not allowed up close though. Still, I could feel the specialness of the place and stones.
Hello Debra, Lucky you and your Rare One to get to see Stonehenge, and up close, yet! When I went to England intending to do a little touring, I hurt my knee the first day and could barely move the whole time. I did get to see all kinds of cool things in London, though. --Jim p.s. I love the comet/fireball in the dinosaur one!
Love the turn back the clock meme, friend D :) If anything it's a great job creation program :) Wonder what the wages were like :) Wonder whether they had unions back then :) And what about workman's comp :) Love, cat.
Great fun, some day I'd like to see it in person, but have heard from several who did how disappointed they were...apparently everthing is from such a distance you don't get to be a part of it.

And you’ve done it again. Thanks for collecting and sharing these! I have still not been to Stonehenge and have always wanted to go.

I'm afraid you're got Druids!

A fascinatingly enigmatic relic of a distant time. I have often wondered whether some of my own ancestors helped build it.
Stonehinge~! Riot~

Love the Druid meme. Lol.
These are all so damned funny. I loved the ones with the turned back one hour and the you have druids. These are my style of funny.
These are wonderful!!! I especially like the "Classic Rock" one ~
TFS!
Very funny! Good meme choices Debra!
How funny are all these??
I bet that was such a great trip for you both.

That's hilarious. Who knew there would be so many Stonehenge memes. Moving time back an hour is my favorite. LOL
I forgot to move my stones back an hour. I was an hour late everywhere that day.
What a hoot!
Love the butter.
Love the dinos.
Just so fun.
Hilarious!
I so enjoy reading your blog Debra, it always puts a smile on my dial.
Keep shining dear friend.

If I took Daisy she'd be like "Whats with the rocks?"
It makes you wonder. So much energy expended at a time when life was hard.
the Ol'Buzzard
One of these days, I must replicate "stonhinge". Bwahahaha!
I can't believe it's not butter, either.
I didn't think there could be so many funny Stonehenge memes. I enjoyed those.
HAHAHA!
Wouldn't it be funny if it was just some random art project?
Love the butter one. 😂
It's astonishing that nobody's ever pinched a couple of bits to carry out a quick repair...
Oh those are great! I can't help but think of Spinal Tap when I hear the word Stonehenge...
Nice post, dear Lady Debra
I kept saying ..."This is the best one." Then the next one was best etc etc. Always fun to come to your Open House.
My favorites are are "Great we have mice" and "Stonehenge, the real story".
Even see European Vacation and what happens when Chevy Chase backs up his car at Stonehenge?
Great finds about this forever mystery!
@ Kirk -- No, I've never seen "European Vacation" . . . but I can just IMAGINE the carnage he would wreak at Stonehenge!
Great fun, some day I'd like to see it in person, but have heard from several who did how disappointed they were...apparently everthing is from such a distance you don't get to be a part of it.
I have never been. And Stonehenge is not that far from where we live.
The real story! HAHAHAHA Love that one :)
SO funny..good ones Deb..Just got another look at the cat pounding away on that computer..made me cringe..
Mom (RIP) had her own theory about the creation of Stonehenge -- A tornado did it.
10 POINTS for remember what you did 10 years ago!
I am about to hear a podcast on Stonehenge. I will be gravely disappointed if there aren't aliens behind this.
what is good about it that we can run the horses of our imagery as fast as possible lol
hilarious dear Debra !
The memes you find are always so clever and fun! Hugs, RO
Do you know, I live probably less than one hundred miles away and I've not visited Stonehenge. How bad is that?
I am with Rain - Spinal Tap all the way.
The Stonehenge not was the only really funny part of the Spinal Tap movie.
Hilarious! Thank you for being such a reliable smile generator, Debra!
Awesome memes! I knew dinosaurs were the cause. The lawnman is a wise gardener.
Thanks for the giggle.
This was more entertaining than a visit would be.
It's really not butter, huh? I can't believe it either.
Cheers, Debra.
I remember when you went..green with envy then and still..I loved all of these so much
I can't pick a favorite ~ These are wonderful!
I saw Stonehenge in 1998. It was amazing.
