Weird...You Want Weird?
A couple of readers have recently mentioned some of the odd photos, articles or websites I've referenced here. I do read a lot of newspapers on line and various sources looking for strange things that I might use for my job and that's where most of the stuff comes from..usually.
Believe me there are weirder things out there. Like the taxidermist/artist who sells these little conversation starters - stuffed squirrel lamps.
Please note the lamp shade is not included in the $295.00 price.
If that's not bizarre enough for you...than you really need to log off, go outside, clear your mind...because otherwise you might wander deeper into taxidermy site and find stuff like this -
Those are muskrat feet earrings...reasonably priced at $18.
If you're looking for that quirky little gift that says, "Be careful, my name is Wayne...."
At least it's a good bet the love of your life doesn't already own a pair...hopefully.

Muskrat feet...how charming. Oh! I know weird. I've been around a while now and have been paying attention ever since I reached the point I could afford to.
I recall this fellow that some late night talk show host had on. His specialty was sealing some kind of animal droppings with plastic spray and stringing a series of them to make a necklace. Then, there was this older woman who collected potatoe chips that resembled celebraties and the host ATE her most prized one.
There is a glut of weird for those alert enough to catch it. You need to stay up late or get up very early, as you are prone to doing and it's everywhere...it's everywhere.
Actually, no prized potato chips were harmed in the making of that weird story.
It was a prank that Johnny Carson played on a guest in 1987: http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-10019/epid-192667
Michael, I hope it doesn't matter that she was from Fort *Wayne*... :-)
Have a good weekend,

Sculptured carcasses, who could ask for anything more? Just keep the folks who buy these things...........far away from me!
