Ron Weasel-y

May 8, 2012

in Let's Pretend This Never Happened,Random crap

Remember last month when I added Ermione Granger to my collection of ethically taxidermied creatures who look great in clothes?  And then I said the next step would be to find Ron Weasel-y and then Victor threatened to divorce me if I didn’t stop buying dead animals?

Well, my marriage is still intact because this morning I woke up to find a very special surprise package from my friend, Lindsay.

IT’S RON WEASEL-Y, YOU GUYS:

Honestly, it’s like they were made for each other.

Is the step after that Harry Trotter? Can pigs be taxidermied? Why do I not know this?

5 Morgan J. May 8, 2012 at 11:40 am

Next you’ll need a Harry Otter and the Hogwarts crew will be complete!

6 Kriesa May 8, 2012 at 11:40 am

Hopefully he won’t catch on and modify his initial statement to “I will divorce you if you keep bringing dead animals into this house.” I don’t know what I would do if given that kind of ultimatum. I would seriously have to consider my options! =)

Obviously Victor can’t expect you to refuse gits from your legions of admirers. So your new additions will just have to come to you that way.

Perhaps you should think about opening a museum of sorts. You could charge admission- like Ripley’s; but it’d be better because they’re all yours. Victor couldn’t complain if it was a money making venture.

Chicago or Milwaukee?? I live equal distance between the two. Milwaukee has brats and beer and festivals. Chicago has museums, booze, baseball and the lakefront.

I finished the audiobook last week. Can’t wait for Book 2 to come out. No pressure or anything. {{Hint, Hint}}I guess until then I’ll have to settle for the “In Death” series by J.D. Robb. I’m on Book 3 of the series. I can’t get enough of Eve and Roarke.

74 Holly Folly May 8, 2012 at 11:59 am

Lol. I love how Ron is taller than Ermine, just like in the books. Except that in the books all the charters weren’t weasels. Which, come to think of it, would have made those books way cooler.

P.S. The dolls in the background sort of creep me out. Not your fault. Just this phobia carried over from childhood. That required therapy time. And, um, I’ll chat with you later. I need to go call my therapist now.

Ann Arbor, MI. C’mon, we love book signings. And ethically taxidermied animals. Ok, the truth is, I wasn’t aware there was a difference in the way animals are taxidermied. Now that I’m coming clean, I’ll also confess that I didn’t know you could use taxidermy as a verb. Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to coin my own word–verbifiy. That would be when you take a noun and turn it into a verb. Like taxidermied. Or also verbicize would be a good word, too. One last confession, my guess is people in Ann Arbor actually may not appreciate taxidermied animals (whether done ethically or not) as much as I say we do. Um, it’s a little bit of a–how you say–granola-eating town so, maybe….it might be better to not, like, heavily publicize your love for taxidermy. You know, if you were to come here. Which after all of this, I still think you should. Just sayin’.

Oh good, you managed to get the robe on him. I tried but I was afraid id break him and I was fresh out of Skele-Gro.

When I showed him the picture of Ermione, my 10 yr old spent the rest of the evening coming up with other HP names – Severus Snake was one.

I am afraid to think too deeply about what this means – my child was totally charmed by idea of a little taxidermied HP army.

Apparently your publisher doesn’t think people in the Northwest read your book. I did, and almost died, three times. Well, twice anyway legitimately your fault. The other time my dog jumped up on the bed while I was roaring with laughter (from reading your book), startled me and I fell out of bed, so that kinda counts.
Tell your tight-ass publisher to get you to Seattle. Not that I would show but I’d try really hard. As long as it was convenient. Like, if you should up close to my house, and I wasn’t doing anything else. I don’t have to tell you. You know what it’s about.

Judging by the wide-eyed stares from the unstuffed doll section, it does not appear that Ron has unanimous support in his role as Ermione’s felluh.

Or is it jealousy? Over him or his manly cape?

Can we expect serious cat fighting?

Or weasel fighting?

Or Victor fighting?

Jenny, while frying eggs the other morning my roommate was surprised by a mouse carrying a basket and wearing a hat with flowers and feathers on it. This mouse rolled out from under the stove, looking suspiciously like a possibly taxidermied creature who was ready for Easter Sunday. Our cat promptly removed her (we’re assuming it’s a she) tail, but we’d be happy to send you the rest, if tailless mice in their Sunday best are of interest to you.

The next step is obviously Hairy Otter.

So today I was just screwing around on the Internet and I found this collection of pictures of “surreal fairy-tale photos of people with animal heads.” And I was like, “Huh, I wonder why this reminds me of the Bloggess?” And then I realized that duh. Of course surreal fairy-tale photos of people with animal heads remind me of the Bloggess. I hope it’s kind of self-explanatory.

I couldn’t bring myself to taxidermy my pets, instead, they were all cremated and I put each one inside of his or her own Build-a-Bear. If you’ve never held a mini funeral inside a Build-a-Bear at the mall, shrugging off the the judging eyes of the minimum wage retail staff, then you have not truly lived.

Wait – have I asked for a tour stop in Seattle yet? What? Only several times? Hmm, maybe I’m not pronouncing the city’s name correctly? Maybe if I ask in…Spanish?
¿Por favor ventate a Seattle?
In French…?
S’il vous plait, vas-tu a Seattle?
In Japanese…?
Seattle kudasai?
In Latin…?
Venir ad Seattle?

Hokay, now it’s pretty damn obvious that 1) I am making-up these shite translations and very badly so and B) I would reeeeally love it if you came to Seattle!!

Also, thanks for not being scared of me! :D

381 Melissa Boss May 9, 2012 at 9:46 pm

Jenny, I am much older than you, but I grew up in San Saba and attended ASU. My mom drove me through Wall every 3 weeks to the orthodontist in San Angelo. i love you and I believe everything you say! I went on Rattle Snake roundups with my boyfriend (I now have a serious snake fobia), and I am sure that Barnaby Jones Pickles was killed by a rattlesnake. Fuck…we live in Texas and we are surrounded by snakes! I now live in Waco and have a lot of “green space” aka wild land. We have had coyotes, foxes, porcupines, armadillos, owls, snakes, tarantulas…and we live in the city limits. Recently, my yard man said…”You have a big, bad snake in the yard!” I said, “What do you mean? What kind if snake?” He said, “Bad”. I made my husband put on boots and walk all around the yard with a hoe for three days….no snake. I know he is out there waiting for my dogs and cats…or me…or my kids ( who are now 25, 21 18…so I guess they are ok). I love the idea of wild Texas, but I am so neurotic about the reality of what I KNOW I will eventually encounter! Great job on the book!!! I loved it!!!

382 AS Novus May 9, 2012 at 9:48 pm

I think you have set a very dangerous precedent. I expect you will need to get more shelving space very soon. It’s just a matter of time before you have the full harry potter cast in rodent/near rodent form.

I do look forward to seeing Vole D. Mort (the D stands for danger) face off against Harry Otter mentioned above though. That’s going to be a sweet battle.

401 Diana Clark May 10, 2012 at 10:49 am

Jenny,
This doesn’t have anything to do with your post, above, but does have to do with your book and how it is affecting my writing. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad, but today I went to Plinky because they keep pestering me with prompts and I thought I would throw them a bone and write something to a prompt, maybe two, and then when I saw the second prompt, which is “What place seemed much smaller after coming back to visit again?” the only answer I could think of was: my vagina.

Jenny, it may be hilarious to you, but that is not the type of writing I do… I will have to stop writing for a while until I finish your book because that is clearly an inappropriate answer, but I can’t help but chortle. You’re rubbing off on me. Maybe all the people you’re rubbing off on will make the world a better place for you, though. That would be good, right?

XOXOX

And to think I never even considered taxidermied animals in clothing before I found your blog! My life was so drab. Also, I showed by significant other (only, in this particular occasion he only ASSUMES he’s significant. Sometimes he is, but in this case he isn’t.) the picture and how cool they were and he just looked at me and said, “don’t. you. dare.” so now I guess I have to figure out something else to collect. Like buttons.

407 Sweet Sassyfats May 10, 2012 at 12:35 pm

Your Annapolis date coincides with my daughter’s 10th birthday party. I had a very harrowing minute, at first full of ecstatic joy when my sister told me you were coming here, and then bloated with crushing disappointment when I saw the date and time.

My sister, who has her priorities absolutely straight, is skipping her beloved niece’s party so she can meet you in person. She is under strict orders to heap praise upon you on my behalf, then kidnap you and bring you to the bowling alley where the party is. Aside from being several times ickier and noisier than a crowded Chuck E. Cheese on a Saturday afternoon during cold and flu season, this bowling alley boasts a full bar, a private bathroom, and not one sign indicating that Xanax use is forbidden. I really don’t see how you can NOT come.

If I don’t see you that day, that means one of these statements will be true:
1.) My sister ultimately decided she doesn’t love me enough to go to jail for me, and she Beyonce’d out of carrying out the plan. I always knew she was selfish.
2.) You unleashed a robotic killer animal/vampire on my dearly beloved, selfless, irreplaceable sister when she tried to grab you, and she died a horrific, screaming, bloody death trying to make my dream of meeting you come true. Way to kill a dream, Jenny.
3.) My sister stood in line a really long time, stammered out a greeting when she met you, and she walked away from the encounter furiously happy with her signed copy of your book, which she will let me hold in my very own hands once or twice while she tells me all the things she wished she’d said instead of, “Um. Hi. You’re like, awesome and stuff.”

Come to think of it, that last scenario doesn’t look too bad now that I’ve written it out. Sorry about that near-kidnapping incident there. And I forgive you for almost killing my sister. Now let’s hug it out.

Perhaps Victor just feels left out. I mean, if you’re going through the Harry Potter characters, but you’re completly skipping over his namesake: Viktor Krum.

His response was “Don’t ever show me another picture of a rat.”
I had to point out to him that Ermione is NOT a ‘rat’. sheesh.
After mentioning Mousfoy, Vole-demort, Dumbledeer, and Harry Otter, I was threatened with another ultimatum to stop. At least he hasn’t threatened to divorce me. Yet.

Argus Finch
Poppy Pomeranian
