my wife returned from florida today, she brought me a severed animal head.

i am not really sure why she did, and i am not really sure i feel good about it. the gator head stares ahead with black marble eyes and open jaw. the back side is apholstered with the finest of black felt. did my wife just support and encourage the severed gator head industry?

i must admit it looks rather snazzy on the shelf next to my shellacked mexican frogs. my den is beginning to resemble that chinatown shop where mogwai/gremlins can be purchased.

i can't claim moral highground over her actions, i am guilty of purchasing large quantities of shellacked frogs posed in various traditionally human activities (standing at a bar, playing basketball, reading, etc.). very small nails ensure the frogs are securely attached to a wooden base.

i am going to toronto wednesday on business, perhaps i shall bring her back some thing. i wonder what animals those crazy canadians shellac.
