“It seems a shame to throw away this beautiful plumage”
A few months ago, I found a stack of old issues of Popular Science in a vintage furniture store. Since they were only $1 each, I went ahead and picked up as many as I could afford. Now that there’s finally a scanner in my household, I can share some of the more bizarre bits with you. Like this…

I read an article once by this guy who was the only punk in his town. He was encouraged to join the Boy Scouts to be more “normal” and took up taxidermy. It came time for the annual show, and he had done all kinds of stuff like two-headed squirrels and raccoons locked in mortal combat. It really freaked everybody out, they said he was sick. But, really, once you’re stuffing animals, why not get a little creative?
BTW – he only did roadkills – no hunting.
I can’t remember where I read it, I think it might have been in Probe.

Do you have the address for that taxidermy ad? I want to get ahold of them for, well, you know, “scientific” curiosity and stuff. Not to learn how to make squirrel bookends. No, not for that.
