taxidermy update!

[bomb_the_twist]

remember when i said i found a guy on ebay who sells squirrel pelts (to those of you i know personally), i had intended to order them to skip the whole skinning process and just jump right into the taxidermy part, i have my mannequins, am about to order some glass eyes, i'd consider myself well on my way. so long story short, i got it in the mail

and as a side note.. I still think these quotes from Sam are hilarious:

http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/WIMADdead.html

"They don't know what to do -- the old people," Sam says, returning with our caffeine. "At funerals, you know." So he came up with the idea of sending them down here -- to hang out with frolicking dead animals. Maybe human heaven will be just as much fun.

What do kids think of all this?, we ask. "They love it!" Sam exclaims. "Of course, kids...they don't like killing animals. I don't like killing animals." Then how did all these dead animals end up here? "Road kill," Sam answers. "And accidents." Sam says that all the chipmunks came from local golf courses. "Killed by golf balls."

It's true by the way.. when I was at my cousin's funeral, it sure was a helluva lot more fun checking out all of the stuffed animals than dealing with the grief upstairs.

Does this mean fried squirrel and 40oz night?

maybe when he sent the squirrel, it wasn't dead.

gross! you might as well could have just killed a squirrel yourself, eaten the meat and kept the skin. i don't think it's very hard to skin a mammal.

Perhaps taxidermy is not the right hobby for someone so squeamish around dead animals.
