I don't know where the "penny" part came from. Probably intended to indicate a smaller "lap dog" size. I just heard that term when I was a kid growing up.

Nice pick up on the tools and 'yapa'. Feisty is a phrase I grew up with so the noun became an adjective and well describes the behavior.

Kissing Crane I believe Floyd.

Thanks Scott, Kissing Crane would have been my last guess.

Threw the bait out there and just waited for the bite. "I believe I did find these...…" I believe you got ahold of the one leg I have that already had not been pulled. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us poor gullible masses. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

AH HAH!!

Now I remember. There's the culprit. Greg, thank you very much for the display cases. They're not only beautiful, they're as slick as a greasy door knob. I really appreciate them. I've thought so much about what to put in them, my brain hurts. Don't worry, I'll decide who has the honor. I'm leaning towards GECs in one and Camillus 72s & clones in the other. ::hmm::

You are most welcome Jerryd. I knew as many of those Mini-trappers as you 've been showing off Something would be overflowing somewhere. ::tu::

You've already seen it Greg but for everyone else, I decided to fill one with my stag GECs. They fill it quite nicely. I may do some adjustments and rearrangements later but for now, this is what it is. I'm thinking Case Mini-Trappers in the other one but haven't done anything about it yet. Please excuse the crappy cell phone picture.
