*backs away in shock* You keep animal skeletons in a box? *gulp*My entire den is decorated in a Day of the Dead motif, skeletons on the cabinet doors and all. I could make good use of it.
Plus, I have to admit right here, I have a huge tub of real skulls and bones. I think skulls in particular are beautiful pieces of art. Most of them belong to critters that passed away and I can tell you who they are by just looking at them. When an animal here dies, I leave their body for Old Man Coyote, then retrieve what bones are left later. I keep the skull if it's there and bury the rest.
I know it sounds macabre, but I'm a Choctaw and we were once known as Bone Pickers. Keeping the bones of loved ones is sort of traditional, though they didn't do it like I do it now. I'm creepy I know. Call me foofoo Addams.
Can I at least keep my head?
