blowfish posted:ftfy You know in fairness I have to say I knew this woman who was some flavor of research scientist from DC who did taxidermy as a hobby. She got her subjects by picking up fresh roadkill that she'd spot on her drive home, so a lot of them would be missing limbs. She had her taxidermy room in the basement that was full of poo poo like a Squirrel missing a leg that was posed like an injured soldier desperately dragging itself across a battlefield, and chipmunks posed rearing on their hind legs and flashing teeth like an attacking polar bear. It was all too funny to dismiss as just weird, and some of it was borderline awesome. Plus at least she did kept it confined to her workshop rather than making it a household theme.

How did the deer get stuck in there in the first place? Can't he just walk backwards to get out?

I too live in a zoo/museum. Tbh its pretty morbid. I've had a taxidermied Siberian squirrel growing up (don't ask) and I'm happy that I don't have it anymore.

I'm not convinced you've even seen Maximum Overdrive to be frank. arent they tho? cause like at the intracellular level they totally look like very complicated (but also very sloppy) machines. theyre mostly nonmetallic i guess, but i figured that was just an available resources thing. so my question to you is why wouldn't the comet that animated them machines also hijack living cells? seems kinda discriminatory if you ask me. i think stephen king might want to reexamine the ontological foundations of his opus.

Everyone I know who is remotely outdoorsy has a shelf or whatever full of bones and weird woods stuff. I once found a huge loving carp skull w/ spine attached, after a bird skull a fish is maybe the rarest skull to find! It was too gross to bring indoors so it just chills out in he garden.

A buddy of mine has a dead red-tailed hawk in his freezer. He was hiking along one day and it fell from the sky and hit the ground right in front of him. Dude is a wildlife biologist so of course he took it home with some idea about doing like some bird CSI poo poo on it with his wildlife-buddies but that never happened so now he just has this dead frozen hawk.

Nice elk Pick I'm looking for a life-sized Black Forest carving of a stag head, they're usually mounted with real antlers. My parents have a large one and it's magnificent. They're very pricey though

I had a bobcat in my freezer at school for a while. Finally dissected it, then beetled the bones. Final stage was soaking the skeleton in a bacterial water bath for a few months to get them really clean. About a week before it was time to add the bleach, I learned that the ground crew from the district office had come through and thrown it away, not realizing what it was, but assuming the smell meant it should be gone. Pissed me off a whole bunch. That being said, I have a shelf that is loaded with skulls at home. I bring them into class when we are studying comparative anatomy. The kids really get into them. In particular, the Bengal Tiger and Mountain Gorilla.
