And give them names and have dinner with them.

Ah i remember having dinner with my little Katie... such a sweet smile... But she wouldn't stop staring at me with those big cold unblinking eyes. I knew deep down she she despises me... that scheming *****! So I stabbed her right there with my fork right in the neck... yet her beady eyes still remain locked on to me! She was laughing at me! I had no choice but to pick up my carving knife and hacked her head off. Ha! Try laughing now!

But...I know she's still there laughing at me right now under there, under that rock in my back yard. I can still hear her. I can still feel her staring at me... with those cold unblinking eyes ...

This is quite possibly the creepiest thing I've ever heard, and trust me, I've heard a lot.

I was thinking it was a good start to something...

Uh, some of us are still rather small. There's a rather thriving market for 36 jackets 'round here, partially because it's a pain ********** to find them in many places.

Hell, I once ran across a tailcoat dated 1911 in a thrift store that fit perfectly. Not in great shape, but fixable. I'm still kicking myself for passing it up.

Take a few measurements and photos at least.

Indeed it could. I'm almost afraid to ask, but am intrigued and am curious as to what does happen next....

Call a few local and specialist museums. My family had some Victorian clothes and a Crimean war uniform, all of which were happily received by museums.

hahaha! well, whaddayanoe, I was just imagining things. Just dug up that rock and no sign of Kimmy's crazy eyes! Only found a few worms which I fed to my little Tweetie and some bones for Spike to gnaw on - spike being my trusty german shepherd.

Daughter's banging on the basement door. Time to let her out for a feed!

Might turn in early tonight - slight headache.

Gentlemen, enjoy your day.
over and out!
