We're still with the Stones, and nothing moon-related (or earth related either really, I might have got a bit creative with one of my word descriptions).

Oh, I see. Compacted geological matter with bodily rotation made me think it must be a planet or a moon.

It's Only Rock 'n Roll?

An aromatic substance brewed from plant matter, often associated with Asia but actually available in many other places and popular in practically all parts of the world, prepared for more than one individual but not a great many, in fact to only a small, even number of individuals who, by implication, are in the same space or are at least in close proximity to each other when the substance is being offered to them.

Cease! It is that portion of the day in which we must use a handled tool, blunt on one side, but forked on the other so that we may easily remove erroneous placements of small metal spikes.

Are you going to stick with the musical theme?

You're really dating yourself here, M.C. didn't have much longevity.

Do I need to say it?

At a fixed point in time you find yourself in a place legendarily founded by descendants of Numitor, it is becoming to behave in a fashion reminiscent of the people who inhabit the onetime seat of a great empire.

(No googling, it'd be too easy)

I'm not sure where we are at this point, but the solution to the above is:
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way. - Jessica Rabbit

Is that the one you were looking for, or was she doing a riff on an earlier quote?

If one were to assign time as a value to renderings in both visual expression and direct communication, the former could be said to be valued at a span of time consisting of one full leap-year cycle and the latter would be represented by a mere 1.461 days.

This got me delving into quantum physics, but it can't be that abstruse.
Is it something about Show and Tell?

You're way off.

It's a well known saying. If you work on the numbers I'm sure you'll get it.

I didn't mean to make a stumper.

Hint: How long is it from one leap year to the next?

1.146 days is a thousandth of a leap-year cycle (1461 days).

So, to rephrase:

If one were to assign time as a value to renderings in both visual expression and direct communication, the former could be said to be valued at a thousand times the latter.

Sometimes the true depths of your geekiness scare me.

Says the woman wearing sandals and socks. ;)

Should I just give the answer so we can move on?
