Green and phlegmmy!

That is someone who certainly refuses to take on me.

You do have quite an imagination Brain.

Thank you. I just look up the idioms and see if I can put a spin on them. This one practically drew itself.

I've been trying to come up with something funny for "all thumbs" but all I can come up with is a hand of thumbs. Too literal!

Cool video. I actually gave up on all thumbs and went a different direction on AI55

I think I remember hearing years ago that the original idiom was "spit and image".

Anyone? Bueller?

My book says that it may have been spirit and image which morphed into spit and image which then changed into spitting image.
