You should be able to double click this picture. Boy do thing's change, while staying the same. I note with interest the comment on the right side, sent in to the "Letters to the Editor" by Fairfield Osborne, President of the New York Zoological Society(which housed a fabulous Head and Horn Museum at the Bronx Zoo, before going PC, and donating the entire collection to the Boone and Crockett Club) following the publishing of photo's of Memphis socialite, 14 year old Virginia Walton Brooks and her successful safari.

Elkhart Hinge of Elkhart Indiana has a very impressive collection of trophies filling the walls of their founder's executive office.
In the early 60's he was diagnosed with a terminal disease and given a short time to live.
His final wish was to go on safari and bag the Big Five.
He was successful and killed in abundance and indiscriminately.
On his return his illness went into remission and he lived many years until all those glass eyes drove him mad.
I have personally seen this awesome collection.
PK,
Nothing with beat the Curator's Chupacabra for awesome!!!

Yes, and Jim seems a little un-hinged(!)as well...
Speaking of taxidermy:

Pk,
What do you mean unhinged???? Einstein would often forget to put his pants on in the morning before heading to lecture, and he was called a genius. That makes sense, because when I saw Zych chewing rubber bands when he got wound up, I suggested he was "unhinged." He told "no, I'm a genius." I just don't think you and I PK, have the mental capacity to understand folks like Einstein and Zych. LOL

PK,
That's funny, thank you. I have always said a pig is the unluckiest animal in the world. They are doomed from the moment they are conceived. From bacon to ham, to pig skin manuscripts and wallets, to pork rinds to chiccaronies, to bacon bits to picked pigs feet. All that was left was a big pile of ears, until the day someone said, "I wonder if a dog will chew on that?" Is the tail used for anything, or is that market wide open, with unlimited product?
Wade
A hinge mogul who became unhinged?
Yes,Jim is a regular Sherlock Einstein.
The difference between James and Albert Einstein is that supposedly only four people in the whole world could understand Einstein.
Nobody understands Jim...
P.K.,
LOL. That's what makes Zych the most brilliant man who has ever lived, I guess. He has been trying to convince me of that fact for years. He should be pleased that his pal Pete confirmed it for me.
