    Reminds me of the Cheshire Cat!
    Actually looking closer I think that may be what it was intended to be.
    The paw like feet. The 2 eyes and a nose.!

    You could put that on your patio or front porch next halloween, and light a bonfire in it. It'd scare away all those pesky little demons (I mean...children) I mean demons...

    Hi Mansons,
    I have not had a newspaper in eight years. Ever since they put the answer to the crossword puzzle in the same paper I have not bought a paper. It was the most relaxing thing to have a cup of coffee and do the puzzle at 5AM. When they put the answer in the next days paper it was wonderful. Now with the answer in the same paper blechhhhh. I recycle my magazines to the hospital. It would make a gorgeous bed for the cats.

    OK, trying my avatar change to see if working OK today.

    That is something I have never seen or even imagined.
    Thanks, but no thanks at this moment.

    OK, real reason for this post........................

    How do you think the paint would hold up when a pretty big fire is blasting away in that thingy?

    You really don't get big fires blasting away with coal - and this is a coal grate, so I see no problem.

    I sincerely doubt this is the original color scheme on this. I picture something more subdued or just a bronze color.

    I'm sure the designer never imagined this interpretation; someone else simply saw the potential. The color makes all the difference.
