Latest mini received

A pair of prehistoric giant terror birds from Amazon miniatures, and a dozen medieval knights courtesy of our mate Malamute. Not intended to be used together, but, well, now I've thought of it...

Damn, February is a good month for lead!

SHsssssh someone might hear

I was pleased because my last order (during their offers) had lots of flash (cimaroons which are relatively new in terms of products for foundry)

What is it that colourful ideom about a 800lbs gorilla in the room that you americans use? :-)

[PeteMurray]

I think you've mixed two idioms.

"The elephant in the room" is something obvious that nobody is talking about AND everyone knows that nobody is talking about it. So, for example, the family gets together for a birthday party and your younger brother shows up with a nasal piercing and his head shaved into a mohawk and nobody says a damn thing about it for the entire evening. See also: Family member who just came out of the closet.

"The 800 lb. gorilla" is the dominant force in a particular field. Games Workshop is the 800 lb. gorilla of miniature gaming.

Ok, so if the family gets together for a birthday party and my younger brother shows up with a nasal piercing and his head shaved into a mohawk, then I enter, buck nacked except for a thin layer of wasabi and a live duck on my head and nobody says a damn thing about it for the entire evening. Would it be correct to call me the the 800lbs gorilla in the room since I am the bigger freak of the two?

You show up naked except for a thin layer of wasabi and a live duck on your head and you can call yourself whatever you want.

"A 800lbs gorilla in the room" it is then. Thanks, PK! :-)

Question: Where does an 800lb gorilla sleep?
Answer: Anywhere it darn well wants!
