Taxidermy












Of Greek origin, this term means "skin arrangement." Is is the stuffing and arranging of dead animal skins into lifelike positions. Opinions? I for one find it creepy, but thought it was worth mentioning because it will probably interest LL. I can see her watching a documentary on the subject, and with a Vulcan-like raising of the eyebrow, utttering the word "fascinating."

That tail is so life-less. Did they taxidermy it right?

It makes me wonder about poor Florae...

I don't know. If the squirrel were real, it would be dangling into the riverbend.

Okay, you are totally freaking me out right now, but tonight I went with Dodgers to a student film festival and one of the films (and, it's true, the best one) was a documentary on taxidermy!

I can verify this, we really did see a taxidermy documentary tonight.

It's after 3 in the morning and your bizarre prognostication is really freaking me out. I don't think I'm going to be able to get to sleep.

I hate you.

And by the way, the documentary I watched last week on cannibalism was fascinating and absolutely worthwhile. Otherwise, how would you know it's okay with me if you one day have to choose to consume me?

Are you giving him permission to eat you because you are gluten-free?

Eewww. I think that I just went too far.

Also, since ll and dodgers are now experts in taxidermy they can tell us if the tail was taxidermied right.

I don't know if I'd eat you, LL. I'd probably end up like Cartman on South Park with your soul stuck inside me. Then you'd want to watch Rob Schneider movies and we'd have ourselves some contention.

But if you are OK with the thought of someone eating you, you should leave a note in your wallet that you should not be breaded or prepared with soy sauce.

I never watch Rob Schneider movies! You just said that to be mean.

Well, guess what, mister, now I no longer give you permission to eat me.

You can just starve and blame yourself and Rob Schneider.

Yes, just before starving completely to death, I will look back and think: "Oh, if not for that one snide comment involving Rob Schneider, I would have LL in my belly and yet live." Then I shall rue the day.
