it involves having one of one's posting wearing a mantle of invisibility... or maybe sitting up, in plain site, on the mantle, and still not being seen... or maybe micky mantle... or a fancy bit of china or some other ornament that is known as a mantle peice.. or is the horizontal memeber of a fireplace surround?

you could look it up.. there are several threads about mantles, but the thread tsuwm started, a post about being mantled, is the one most likely to provide an answer. That is if you don't like any of mine!
