    Love the description! Oh the things you can do with a Monolith Action Figure . . .

    It could act as a weight to hold down those intergalactic correspondences that are so prone to drifting away and getting lost.

    It could be placed in strategic locations throughout your house to monitor the activity of you and your children.

    It could be placed in the soap dish of the guest bath to confuse those pesky unwanted family visitors.

    Why, the places it will go fair boggle the mind! I think you should take it on every vacation and photograph it in exotic locales around the world.

    Hmmm.. The thought of having monkeys throwing bones all over my house would make me think twice about getting one.
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Every silver lining has a cloud around it
