Keep booting it down the road, within the 2m of the pavement allowance, until it goes into the street/ someone is coming the other way

Try to aim for some sick kicks that result in the pebble coming to a rest in the centre of the pavement

I may or may not try for some rabona style kicks

I’d just ding it as hard as I could with the point of my shoe and see how far I could get it along the pavement. Might sidefoot it off the pavement if it came to rest next to a drain. That would be satisfying.

I like both of these answers. I was beginning to think I was a bit of a weirdo, but it seems everyone’s at it!

depends how oblate it is

i.e. I may inspect it before I boot it

Pick it up, immediately take it to the nearest body of water and skim it 9 or 10 times, right across to the other side, to the delight of the assembled crowd.

Oi! No professionals!

but it’s an ‘oblate spheroid’, that’s not going to skim particularly well surely, wouldn’t it just go ‘plop’ once?

EDIT: unless of course you can skim an oblate spheroid, in which case, woah, skillz!

…then it landed on its wheels, I got out and said “what were you worried about?”

All one colour? A pattern? Or an exquisite miniature still life?

Or just the word “Boobs” in tippex?

I don’t think I’m giving anything away, but when I started this thread I was not expecting the answer “I would paint Morgan Freeman’s face on it” to appear.

Good question. I would check it first, and if it was too oblate to skim then I would kill two birds with it instead.

I’d chip away at the stone to create some kind of rudimentary tool. I’d then use this to grind corn establishing a basic agrarian society (or I’d just boot it)

I would take it a sign of society’s imminent collapse and look for the nearest underground shelter.

I kicked a pebble like that when I was about 11. It flew off, veered to the side and hit the windscreen of a passing car. The enraged driver got out and ranted at me, accusing me of doing it on purpose. If I was that good at kicking inanimate objects I wouldn’t always get picked last for bloody football, mate! Obviously, I said, “Shut up, shit head” and ran away.

Something very satisfying about the “ting” of a pebble bouncing off a parked car.
