I think we called the ink pad in our hand proof printing part of our graphic arts house a Tampion or Tampon.
A Tampon is the Spanish word for an ink pad, which is what they are called in the rubber stamp industry, which is another life I had.

You certainly do !!! You are the most knowledgeble person on the Tompion that I have ever heard of. Either that or google is .... So funny.
yes ... The grizzly bear makes a plug of mud and saliva which he inserts in his anus to keep the ants out during his hibernation.
