You know, I think that every idiot, at some point in their life, has had a desire to stick some toothpicks in a potato and called it a
porcupine, much like the desire to stick black olives onto the ends of your fingers when no-one is looking just to see if they fit. To actually take said toothpicks, though, and create a massive varnished porcupine with uneven curly metal whiskers and shiny beaver teeth, and then,
then, to attach the whole thing to a wooden plaque for displaying, well that there takes a special kind of genius.
you've got to know that whoever made that thing must hover over it with a box of fresh toothpicks, so as to replace any that are removed by thoughtless people with something stuck in their teeth.

ReplyDeleteI thought this was a beaver, shot by tiny little toothpick arrows. I mean, seriously. Look at those teeth. Are those chicklets?
ReplyDeleteI hate this... trophy just as much as I love porcupines. Who are my favorite animals, just so you know.
ReplyDeleteIn our family, putting black olives on your fingers was a thanksgiving tradition. It was a pretty lame family, admittedly.
