		<description><![CDATA[Taxidermist Carl Akeley is considered by most taxidermy folks to be the father of modern taxidermy. Taxidermy. Taxidermy taxidermy. Certain words when you write a whole book become very easy to type. Taxidermy. Can&#8217;t remember the last time my fingers in that pattern didn&#8217;t hit their targets: Taxidermy. Certain words&#8217; meanings begin to fade as [...]]]></description>

Far be it from me to be familiar with baseball metaphors, but I think this is where I am. In, on, or at least facing the home stretch here. Two-to-three thousand more words and I&#8217;m finished.

There&#8217;s an essay in there taken from the opening chapter of The Authentic Animal, about a dead pet canary that becomes a museum relic. Other essays therein by Douglas Danoff, Jack E.

		<description><![CDATA[Wasn&#8217;t it inevitable? Print-on-demand pricing being as low as it is, one can sell tons of generic-messaged T-shirts just by switching around occupations. Like tourist-trap mugs or license plates: just drop &#8220;taxidermy&#8221; in the right place. Some of them seem designed solely for taxidermists, with requisite depressing (and factually inaccurate) puns. Some of them are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I like it because it argues for an aesthetic, kind of. Rather than just saying: Ugh, dead animals. Or: Rad, dead animals. Or: Ironic! Plus some of them are really funny. And a little misguided. And there&#8217;s a sense of history. But it&#8217;s not all funny. Some examples are just depressing. And not [...]]]></description>
