AND NOW, THE END IS NEAR..... (email the scientist)

After reading these pages a friend, a friend, A FRIEND suggested to me that to slow down the pouring-off process (and to make it easier for me to film) I should siphon off the slop. Siphon! I had to go brush my teeth after just hearing this suggestion. I swallowed some gasoline once.. that was enough siphoning for me.

Siphoning!?!?

Did I say "friend?"

The Jindo, taking advantage of the drunken sleep the rest of the house was engaging in, dug up every inch of dirt that had opossum innards poured onto it. Wouldn't mess with the bucket, but once the water was out it was irresistable.

That dog is weird!

The backyard looked pretty dispreputable as well but I tidied it up and checked on the bones. All done, basically. They'll need some mounting and some glue, but that's about it.

Summary: It took 12 days and the first few were pretty stinky and fly-infested, but we have successfully macerated the opossum. I have the lovely skull of a young oposssum, the Jindo has warm memories of cold-blooded assasination, the Jindo's owner is running around completely high on 'Korean Pride' that this hideous slaughter mysteriously engendered, and my previously clean-and-sober girlfriend is now locked in the bathroom with a bottle of gin and a carving knife (She reminds me of this every time I try to enter the bathroom).

Next.. Tragedy strikes the project!
