i was far more amused by the pardoning a turkey segment from thanksgiving or some such.

as for tackiness...ok i have a problem with those plywood dudes that people stick in front of their houses. and i hate those little heart things with sayings inside them. it's not so much because they're cheesy--even though they are--but it's because they're cheesy in a bland way.

but i dunno--across the street from here (nearly--a few doors up) there's a 9 foot wooden clam, frozen in a mollusk action pose.
just past that, there's a 15 foot long plywood lobster flattened against a wall.
alot of fishing gear places have giant fish mounted on their walls, all of which look surprised.

in another place, maybe a sculptural clam caught in a mollusk action pose would be tacky---but here, it is tacky but i kinda like it. i mean, it's a mollusk action pose.
so maybe there a giant dead bear head on a couch makes sense.
the enormous polyurethane crabs hovering over picture books on a coffee table, though....

later:
i just spent a few quality minutes trying to imagine a giant dead bear head and attached rug-like extension on my couch. i think it clashes with mollusks.
whatever the reason, i'm not sure i'll sleep terribly well tonight.
