In my own defense, it was sitting on top of a pallet which had wheels on 
it- not hooked up. The Royal Throne went to several events- I don't know 
where it ended up- I think at Don Kahle's place (he's the Big Kahuna at the 
_Comic News). But is was a fun prop. #1 Daughter and I decorated it with 
fringe and ribbons and glitter. It was magnificent. (But of course I can't 
document it, unlike Some People on this list ;-)

And yes, prunes are period- but I hate to imagine a prune would do to a slug!
