Ashcans posted:jelly beans. Hey, those are Jelly Bellys* for, like, half the normal price per pound. It's a steal!

Normally it'd be "Bellies", but since it's a proper noun, does that change it? Obviously I thought so, but nothing I put down looks right.

Obviously I thought so, but nothing I put down looks right. Jelly Bellies. It’s like “Attorneys General”. The base noun is pluralised. “General” modifies “attorney” in the same way “jelly” modifies “belly”—poor example because the order of the terms is switched, but you get the idea. But if you ask the Jelly Belly company they’d probably say something like “Jelly Belly® brand jelly beans”. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Apr 19, 2016 |

You're right, I checked their website and they literally call them 'Jelly Belly® Jelly Beans'. Edit: Oh, it's this thread. Uh, they also advise that Jelly Belly® Jelly Beans are not to be used for load-bearing purposes in any structure. There, on topic.

In all seriousness I assume that was once a basement that has been finished and turned into an inlaw apartment complete with attached kitchen. Or, possibly it's a house on a slope and someone at some point decided to build an addition, and removing the huge boulder first was going to be both way too costly, and potentially dangerous to the foundation. Especially if it's not actually a boulder but rather an exposed hunk of bedrock. It's amazing, though. I'd be sorely tempted to take a stone sculpture class or two, and then get some chisels and hammers and try my hand at permanent indoor sculpture.
