Skullduggery
My company had a big sales kickoff meeting at Alltel Stadium this week. It was a football themed gig, naturally. And so we were given these tiny helmets as tokens. Genuine Riddells, only smaller. See?
Now that will look fine on my office bookshelf, thinks I. But it's missing something. A little bit of, I don't know, sumpin. And then it hit me. Why, yes. And so I just purchased this on eBay:
A vervet monkey skull. Looks like a perfect fit, too. That's going to kick it. Actually, I wanted an entire monkey skeleton for that helmet, but I have to choose my battles. They have a dozen lawyers on salary, and they hate me. I can only push it so far. Still, nice.
More toys for the next blogmeet. Perhaps Spanky can cradle the skull in his hand and soliloquize: "Alas, poor Zippy! I knew him, Velociman."
Or, being Spanky, he perhaps may have other plans for that skull. Just ask Dax.

Dax has ruined me. Now anytime I see a picture or read post that has a picture of a skull, all I can think about is what HE would do with it.
