The best way to get wonderfully printed cardboard pyramids would be to have them Litho Laminated. This is a process where they print the nice design that you want and then glue it to the cardboard. It can be VERY nicely done. The reverse side doesn't need to be brown either. It could be white. I work with Litho Laminated sheets all day long. I have seen some kewl things done in the past. Depending on the quantities that we are talking about it could be reasonably affordable. They could even be done in a glossy white instead of a dull white if you were thinking about generic pyramids. The glossy white looks better when drawn on or painted. SDL Never say that being negative is anti-love. We only want to change the things you have grown fond of. I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Eishaus players don't take turns.
