Hey Joe:

Some images popped into my head when I saw your pic last wk:

First was of on old pipe organ with the statuesque big pipes flanking ea side. How about planting some hooks in your clg and hanging your yaks in an inverted 'V' pattern directly opposite the couch. With a bust of your smiling visage at the ctr of the V of course!

Second was of the old garbage can speakers I used in university to save $ and still get a big sound. Planted a small spkr(all I could afford) in the bottom of an old can. I wonder what would happen if you hung them all up, put in some good spkrs in rigid plates snapped onto the coaming - I bet you could get your yaks singing.

(OR just set the door bell inside - 'Oh Joseph, oh joe - someone's here to yak to you') ( Or set them up near an open window - wind chimes)

Third was of lighting. Say one big (big) hook in the ctr of the clg, hook the bows of all yaks in that. A big hoop, say 10ft in diameter at the bottom and tie the sterns to that(evenly spaced around). With the cockpits pointing down and a light near the footpegs in ea, you would have a chandelier to beat all chandeliers.

Or like a diurama, I see you have some vines hanging down your wall, you could set up like a scene of diving and rising yaks w/ vines and kelpish stuff hanging down, some blue and green lights, some netting and who needs and aquarium??

Because of course, like, er, you never really intend on using these gorgeous artifacts - do you? (hehehe)
