You should get a head of... the most dangerous game.

Great story turned into a great movie, still can't f***ing believe they had a shot of this in a movie made in the 1930s:

Matt, are you serious? Because this could possibly make yours the most incongruent, and possibly the most awesome, sitting room in the entire world.

Paxton Gate in the mission has some big, dead animals, including a giraffe I believe . If nothing else they should be able to steer you in the right direction. I have a bobcat skull but I had to salvage that my self.

But it's still uncomfortable as hell.

Anyway, I don't support killing awesome animals like lions and tigers, even indirectly, so matt sucks.

Yes, totally serious. We thought about it some years ago, but it is back in our minds. Of course, we do have the armadillo already.

It is posts like this (in addition to meaty style and clothing information) that I like best about SF.

The closest thing I have to what you want is "Foxy" as the family calls it. It currently hangs over my computer. It was my Father-in-laws first kill at 6 years old at the Old Bucks Hunt in 1923. In keeping with the ritual of the day, after the fox is killed, they cut off the tail and then rub blood from it over the young boys head. Everyone then goes down to the local pub to get pissed and celebrate. Ah, the good old days....
