Last night I got some useful advice on the easiest way to get rotting flesh off an animal skeleton...from a guy working at Petco. Says he does it all the time. Filed under: Things that make ya say, "Hmmmm?"

Will the skull be too heavy if bronzed?
Too heavy? Bah. That's a muscle issue. Besides... heavy is good. Big wide swings that crush. Not fast short ones. *shrug* There's always the option of a two-handed handle if the weight is too much. That would look pretty damn nice, methinks.

My internet fails at Devildriver ticket prices but the guy at work says they are around $25. I'm leaning toward going. I have Monday off and am potentially making a good sale in about 30minutes.

Shit... now you have me thinking weaponcraft. I feel like a boy again. Hmmm... I haz ideas.

Yeah, I know it's a muscle issue. Am.not.built.like.you. ;)

If it's too heavy I'm gonna send -myself- to the ground. Not ok by me.

See you tonight!
