;D ;D ;D Gramps made it Home today. It was a long journey, and he met a friend on his way, but he managed to come home to Daddy! The cool Jade holder works perfectly. Huge thanks to E-Dog and Nephrite! What an awesome contest prize, and I love them both. A few pics of the combo.... He's resting peacefully on my mantle, although for some reason he won't stop staring at me. He's almost looking at me like I've got his dentures...but Gramps, seriously, I don't! HUGE THANKS and a HUGE HUG to you both; E-Dog and Tony!!! Steve

Steve you called that cab perfectly, it really does look like he lost his dentures!! Earth did a awesome job putting that together, it looks really awesome. Have you been polishing that large jade piece? I don't remember it shining that good.

You busted me Tony! For weeks of me licking, kissing, hugging, slobbering, and drooling over it; will really shine a rock up faaast! It might be my smiling face still reflecting off of it that gives that shiny appearance too. Steve

You know, now that I see him standing there, I think gramps bears a strong resemblance to one of those magnificent Heads on Easter Island! And he really looks good standing on his mountain of jade.
Enjoy him! And congrats on a great name!

Hey Steve, I am sure you will give Gramps a good retirement spot for the rest of his natural life!
Nice prize..............Tony

Well deserved, what a cracking title - thanks for the laughs! And thanks to you all for organising, contributing and participating in such entertaining and enjoyable activities. It's a pleasure to follow along with ya'll. Do you reckon that with his new jade mountain he might crack a smile? maybe if we wait in geological time Cheers all and thanks again. Harry.

I'm glad you like it. Is that poster stickum working ok? It's to bad it wasn't green to match the jade. That big hunk of jade looks great!

Thanks you guys. E-dog..the tacky tape is doing just fine. Gramps hasn't fallen over yet. I can color it green you know...I was just in such a hurry to set it up, that the yellow didn't even phase me. Steve
