Only remembered the NA'VI after it was filled. But I got the theme and liked it.<br /><br />Thanks for the informative expo & cute pictures, Lemony. You asked: OBESE synonyms "cruel or not?"

Promising = ROSEATE had to LIU after filling to believe it. Noted that TROUT & KIT were also animals.<br /><br />SMOKY Mountains in Idaho? I was a passenger through Idaho twice with an Atlas on my lap researching what we were seeing and didn't see any SMOKY Mts. on the maps. Went back to that atlas just now and still don't see them. SNAKE River is another matter. I still have nightmares about a four-lane highway where my husband was driving 90 mph neck-and-neck with a trucker with his reckless-sounding name painted on the door. We were going down this steep grade with the SNAKE River Gorge at the bottom where you had to make a right hand curve along the Gorge. I thought we were going to die. The SNAKE Gorge looks like the entrance to hell. I kid you not.<br /><br />D4: Sorry about your table mate.
