1. I wonder if they use his brain to preserve the skin. I’ve heard it said by a trapper that every animal has just enough brains to tan its own hide.

2. And a little soap too?

3. Reminds me of the documentary of when the Nazis may, or may not, have turned peoples tattooed skin into lampshades.

4. 80K. Could have bought a camera.

5. and CJME/CKOM had to tell us about it,,,every eiffing 30 minutes,,,all day long…

6. Kinda tips the scale of creepy. And yes, the lamp shade story is accurate, tattoo taken from an executed concentration camp inmate.

7. No way I want my pelt hanging on the wall after I’m gone. But there’s also no chance SWMBO would go for it anyway so I’m safe.

   1. But then there’s this:

8. Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett.
   A Thai mystery novel about the phenomena of tattooed skin removal.

9. Re-read “Stranger in a Strange Land” by Heinlein

10. Because taking a picture of it would have been impossible, right?

    For $80 grand they could have bought a Hasselblad. And a car.

    1. Pictures are so 2-dimensional though.

11. It reminds me of “Tie me kangaroo down sport” as in “Tan me hide when I’m dead, Fred” and “That’s ‘im hangin’ by the shed”…

12. It rubs the lotion on it’s skin, or else it gets the hose again.

    1. … It does this whenever it is told! Like when you’re gonna get skinned for a display mannequin

13. So, will his wife have his hide tacked to the wall of their barn, or made it into a rug she can stretch out on in front of the fireplace?

    Why not just go all out and have him mounted by a taxidermist?

    1. You asked for it (well, you kinda brought this up):
