Remember last week when I was trying to buy that dead pony I wanted? (I’ll just apologize for that first sentence right here if this is your first time here. You should probably just come back tomorrow.) Well I got outbid on it, but that was actually a blessing in disguise because then I found something I wanted even more that was just as awesome and also ethically taxidermied.
And a few minutes ago…it arrived.
Knock-knock, motherfucker.
That’s right, y’all. Anyone can have a dead pony, but it takes a specially fucked up kind of birthday wish to end up with a dead pegasus.
(Special note for those of you who are horrified that I support the slaughter of pegasuses: It’s actually a zebra colt mannequin covered with old, leftover cow and goose pieces. You can tell because of the stitching and also because pegasuses are much bigger in real life.)
But don’t tell that to Hunter S. Thomcat:
It's like The Never Ending Story, part 12.
NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, YOU GUYS.

Motherhood Uncensored recently posted..Because I don’t want to
I’ve never been much for taxidermy (partly because I get a bit spooked by a dead animal staring at me and partly because my books take up the space that would be necessary for any other collection I could have) but this could possibly change my mind. This is officially one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
I love it when I have reasons to laugh and smile at work
thanks for being Lawsome!

The picture of Hunter riding the Pegasus is officially the most awesome thing I have ever seen on the internet. You win!
(My spell check is insisting that Pegasus is a proper noun, and how can I argue with that?)
I thought the plural of Pegasus was Pegasii.
Dude, that looks nothing like a taun taun. First a pegasus…what next? If you find a unicorn, I’m going to be SO jealous. More so than I am now. And where does one even FIND a zebra colt mannequin to cover with leftover cow and goose pieces?

And was that the reason your credit card was temporarily frozen? And just for the record….I love your birthday too! Waiting to see what you got is all kinds of fun!
I hope you are training Hunter to wear costumes – the ONLY thing that would make this photo better is aviator goggles and a leather cap!

Also, may I suggest installing a zip line in your back yard so your little friend (“Pegasus-y Lee”? “Pegasus-y Fleming”? Eh, that’s all I got) can really fly?
Just finished your book, so now i’m reading your blog backwards… I mean not really backwards but I’m reading what you wrote today and going back to tomorrow and so no. Get it? I when you would. I really loved your book and relate to all of it. Had a dad and uncles a lot like you… Not like your total but close. Anyhow I’m a new fan. Thanks for the book.
I can hear Hunter meowing, “Atreyu!”
Please tell me that the picture of Hunter S Thomcat will be available in your store!

Of course it’s a Pegasus. I suck. I’m too literal. I thought it was a donkey. A dead angel donkey. Then I thought of Juan Valdez. So then I thought his name should be Angel Valdez, or White Mocha Coffee Bean for short. Then I read PEGASUS and immediately felt totally stupid.
I am speachless. You freaking rule!
I am truly amazed, I never would have guessed a taxidermied Pegasus! When I scrolled down to the picture, I said out loud at my desk (thank god I’m by myself up here at work) WHAT THE FUCK.

At Halloween you could give her (him?) fangs and multiple fins and have a Pegasaurus.
My first thought, other than it’s terrifyingly adorable – is the plural of “pegasus” indeed “pegasuses”? Going to Google right now.

Holy shitsnacks! This little post has turnd my entire day around! I can’t believe how awesome that is. I would die from happiness if I opened the door and this pegasus was there waiting for me to discover him.
Thank you.
Ginger kitties ALWAYS require special transportation!
have you seen him at night yet? Cuz, yeah, he’s all cute in the daylight…but it’s very, very possible that he has demony-red eyes that glower brightly at you from the corner when you’re on a midnight slushie run to the fridge. Or do you have a sno-cone machine in your bedroom for real?

OMFG THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!! All caps is definitely justified in this case. A dead, stuffed pony? PFFFFT. Far too commonplace. A dead, stuffed PEGASUS pony? AW YEAH.
It’s disturbing, yet I can’t look away. Hunter S. Tomcat looks so majestic! The only thing you need more is a fan so the fur will blow in the wind, that will be the final piece to the puzzle.

OMG, It’s like every childhood fantasy put together: Imagine that a horse, a unicorn, a Pegasus, the ability to fly, animals that talk, my first and current cat (both were/are orange), the Never Ending Story, and My Little Pony got merged together in a Willy Wonka Machine – you have the result. The photo has made my day! Thank you so much and tell your husband he’s so lucky (even if he doesn’t really think so right now). More photos, products and your daughter’s reaction, please!
Awesome…I especially love The Neverending Story reference.
OMG, Jenny!!!

My mouth actually dropped open in amazement.
Coolest Pegasus/Zebra/Goose in the history of EVER! Does it do advertising too, or do the wings get in the way? Perhaps it needs one of those banner trailers like they use on planes for advertising car dealerships? Hunter S. Tomcat looks like he’s having the time of his motherfncking life!
Please please please make something I can buy of “Ready for takeoff.”
Dude. Seriously. You are my hero. Can I please, please, please be in your will? I understand if you don’t know me well enough (or at all, really) to bequeath me the pegasus. Although if you did, I would probably die from happiness and then whoever you really want to have it would get it right away anyway. But I would happily and gladly and joyously accept any of your other taxidermied lovelies.
Just think about it. Ruminate. Let it marinate.

Dude, seriously? Pegasus babies don’t say “Knock knock, motherfucker” because they are very eloquent creatures and they speak French. Why don’t you know this?
My French is really rusty, so I’m going to go ask Babelfish, the online translator, what a baby pegasus would really say. Here, come with me…
Ok, the results are in!
Please find your translated text below:
knock knock, motherfucker (English)
Knock knock, motherfucker (French)
Uh…ok. You DO have the capital K in your sentence so…I guess you were typing in French, after all. You were totally right. I’m really sorry I made a fuss. I think I should probably brush up on my French before I run around screaming, “J’accuse!”
Ermagerd! It’s fantastic!
My day was really meh. Then I saw the photo of Hunter S. Thomcat riding an ethically taxidermied pegasus and my heart filled with joy. Thank you for being you and doing what you do. I second the proposed aviator cap and goggles for Mr. Thomcat.
By the way, I keep seeing him as sitting up there with a confident stare and his arms folded for some reason. Maybe just something about the pattern of his fur in that photo. Anyway, to me he looks all. “Yeah, I am riding a pegasus. I know how completely splendid I look. I don’t need you to tell me, but thanks anyway.”

I concur, a pegasus is many times better than a pony. Though, I would have been happy with either when I was a little girl. Or basically anything somewhat horse-shaped. Hunter is living out my childhood and my childhood is just a bit jealous. (Okay, yes, I took riding lessons, but that’s not the same thing as having your own horse. Not remotely the same.)

SQUEEEEEE!
I’m pretty sure you should hang your dead pegasus like a chandelier from the ceiling, but low enough so that you can give it a good swing as you walk by to go out the door.
It could also double as a sort of eccentric trapeze situation, where you get a good running start and grab the hind legs and swing wildly and imagine holding onto a real Pegasus, wind rushing through your hair, like that one in Clash of the Titans (the original, with the animatronic Bobo).

Unrelated to dead zebra covered in feathers spiriting Thom to parts yet undiscovered ~
Once again I owe you a debt of thankatude. Today was a “I need a RED DRESS” kinda day ~ but that was not happening. Instead I was trying to hunt up some of those stupid velcro thingers that you tie back tomatoes with. August in New England, tons of halloween, no tomatoe thingers. I was getting annoyed at life and could not think of a single thing to use instead …….THEN ….. This lady with long brown hair walks by me wearing some sort of nubby brownish thing. She reminded me of the Snuffleupagus that was really a donkey (not judging, just saying what she reminded me of). That made me think of you ….and ….. TWINE! (and the fact that I can be such a dumbsnuffleupagus for not thinking twine in the first place …. sigh ..) I also got to smile in the jokes on me kinda way that I read this blog and could have that type of thought association to begin with … so .. THANKS!!
Please let me know if either of your next door neighbors ever want to sell their homes. I will be moving in.
I say you name him Dr. Whooves!
Afterall, he is like HST personal Tardis!!
How? How do you know Will Wheaton, Nathan Fillion AND own a pegasus? Who’s soul did you sell to get those? Really, really jealous of your epic-ness.
Wow. I think I really need to know the following:
What did Victor say/do and was he in on it?
Did HST climb up there himself or did you have to put him there for that photo?
That is all. I am still getting over the fact that somebody out there took the time to make this.

Have you thought the effect that carrying all these parcels is having on your mailman’s psyche? Although to counterbalance the inevitable descent into madness, there’s no risk of him delivering a taxidermied Pegasus to the wrong house – and customer satisfaction is just one of those things you can’t buy.
That is quite possibly one of the most awesome things I have ever seen. Fly Hunter, Fly!

Well now you see, this is exactly the type of taxidermy I need. Because there would be nothing strange about stringing this from the ceiling in imitation of flight, thus avoiding the cats eating it situation. Plus, it’s awesome.

OH MY GOSH I CANT STOP LOOKING AT THAT PICTURE. I’m obsessed with your cat. And your Pegasus.
I tried convincing my husband that I need one. He called it an abomination.
Wait, the knock knock line is for the 5 foot chicken. It’s on my calendar – OK your calendar.
Can we rename it the Double Pegasuccess Club?
I said this to my husband, and he said, “Why would you want to be a member of the Double Pegasus Sex Club? That’s just weird!” So you have to enunciate properly, or people may think you’re a perv.
You leave me in the odd position of hoping you don’t get things you want in the first place, so that you continue to come up with the awesome-blotto things you get to replace them! This way you only get every other amazing thing, but all the things you get are twice as amazing as the first things, at least, so it counts as more than half the awesome. But don’t tell Victor, let him think you are getting only half the things you want, so you get credit for compromising. To recap: you get credit for only getting half the things you want, but they are twice as good as the half you didn’t get. This is the new math. Try to keep up.
I don’t have anything funny to say. But I LOVE your kitten. He shows character.

Best (and most ironic) discovery EVER. My workplace firewall blocks anything and everything that can be construed as even mildly fun, entertaining, or hobby-ish (with the interesting exception of CBS Sports during fantasy football season – in which our IT guys participate). So my firewall protects me from the shadiest of sites….like any of our local news stations (someone please tell me the weather!), the entertainment and relationship sections of MSN, recipe sites, and (ok this seems reasonable for work) anything with “adult content.” HOWEVER…..I just realized I can get to The Bloggess.

That might be the greatest thing I have ever seen. I don’t have your love of dead things, but I might have to get me one of those…That way if anyone ever gives you sh*t, you can calmly respond “F**k You, I have a Pegasus! I am totally storybook!”
I’d pay money to hear what Victor had to say about this…
Ok, so, long ago I found this weird tiny zebra/horse/giraffe thing that is not taxidermy but some sort of leather craft. It has this crazy wonky eye and this weird afro hair. Long story short, when I saw it, I thought of you. My husband (who sometimes sounds like yours) would not let me buy it unless I promised that I was sending it to you, not keeping it on the bookshelf where it has sat ever since. I was going to give it to you at the book signing in Atlanta but I couldn’t find parking!!
ANYWAY. Now that you have a dead pony I really feel like you need to see this weird gift if person. You may not want to keep it, and that is fine. But it might make a great cat toy? Problem is – I have no idea how to send you things…And I’d rather not come off as a stalker so just let me know if you have a fan mail PO box or something and I’ll ship it off!
My 5yo daughter would kill her best friend for that pegasus pony!
Hmm, I might too. That thing sure is purty and magical looking. Congrats on your latest acquisition.

What a wonderfully beautiful piece of taxidermied gloriousness. Up until this point, I was having one of those days that makes Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day look like a vacation on a tropical beach with your pre-baby body back and a ridiculously hot cabana boy bringing you champagne slushies in the nude. Him nude, not me. Or maybe me too b/c, hey, the pre-baby body is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, the magical-rainbow bliss of that dead pegasus caused me to scream, “OH MY GOD!” with such emotion that it caused both my fiance and son to leap from their chairs in front of the TV yelling, “WHAT?! WHAT?!” Which is pretty impressive b/c usually I have to go into fake cardiac arrest to distract them from the TV. I showed them your pegasus with the same pride I would’ve felt as if it were my own. Their response: “You’re both kooky.” My daughters, however, echoed my enthusiasm as only four- and six-year olds can. Jenny, if we knew each other in real life, we would be best friends. If I had any doubts about that vaguely stalker-ish statement before, they were completely erased by the BEST piece of dead Greek mythology EVER.
I showed the picture to my husband and he asked, “is the kitten real?” Knowing it was your blog, he didn’t think twice about the Pegasus.

After reading your posts I turned to my fiance and asked him what he would do if I started collecting stuffed dead animals, dressing them up in clothes and giving them names.
He said he would buy me a lot of shelves, but that he isn’t very good with coming up with names, so i was on my own there lol.
I have decided that you are my imaginary friend. The one I had when I was young and my mean older brother and sister would make fun of and tell me didn’t exist.

Hidden on the pages is the answer
To a never ending story.
Reach the stars
fly a fantasy
Dream a dream and what you see will be.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon the rainbow is the answer
To a never ending story
story.
Show your fear
for she may fade away
In your hands the birth of a new day.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds . ..
Never ending story
I think you may live too close to me to post images of such an awesome thing. Not that I’m the president of any Pegasus Liberation Front or anything. Yet. There is paperwork to be filed, but probably not much . . .

… if you open the door to a unicorn one day… I will die of jealousy… this is close, but a unicorn? – that would be the end of me…

Well I was totally on board with this post until the Pegagus reminded me of the Weeping Angels from Dr. Who. Off to therapy in 3…2…1.

Didn’t see that one coming. Not that you’re predictable, but still…
I love that Hunter S Tomcat is already climbing on it. Just wait until he starts grooming it. (My cat used to do that with any fur-covered thing.)

Yes. It is time. Hunter S. Thomcat needs his own blog.
I can’t stop staring at the computer screen with an amazed, giant open-mouthed smile and eyes as big around as saucers. I can’t find an emoticon to represent my facial expression right now. Jenny, you have the holy grail – A REAL LIFE ETHICALLY TAXIDERMIED MY LITTLE PONY!!!!!
This is the most awesome event in a world that needs more awesome.
Also, Hunter S. Thomcat will soon be our new overlord.

As they say, when one door closes… Although I still have to admit that, no matter what you say, the fact that you have a dead pegasus is very disturbing. What next, a dead unicorn? Or a griffin? Why do you have to collect DEAD make-believe animals? You’re just, like, killing all my dreams and shit. What next, stuffed Santa? Are you gonna kill the Easter Bunny? I mean, I know you don’t actually DO the killing or the stuffing but still…this just upsets me on all levels. I thought you BELIEVED IN THE MAGIC!
Having said that, if you come across any stuffed DRAGONS, please let me know, as it would mean a lot to me to own one since I characterize my depression as a big black dragon named Claude. But even though I write about him – a LOT – no one really GETS it because DUH, I’m the only one who can SEE the fucker. So if I get a stuffed one, then when I get really depressed and start giving my meds the twitchy eye and my husband starts looking at me like “oh, no, here we go with THIS shit again”, I can at least point to the dragon and say “It’s all HIS fucking fault, blame HIM.” And maybe I can even smack him around a little bit. They can’t call the animal abuse police if it’s already dead…right?

This is epic.
As a shameless Brony I can’t help but love this. (Don’t worry it’s non sexual)
This is so fucking awesome that I can barely stand it!! I want one sooooooo bad! PLEASE let me know where u got it. You are the BEST! If only we were besties! LOL. Kiki0031@AOL.com plz lemme know where to get one!!!
How do you even live your life? How can one person stand so much complete awesomeness?

I want one! Even if that means a goose, a cow, and a baby zebra have to die so I can get my wish.
Oh my god that is fantastic.
But random trivia: that’s actually a pterippus. Pegasus was a specific pterippus, who arose from Medusa’s blood after Perseus beheaded her. It’s time to treat pterippi as individuals!
(Yeah, I’m just being dramatic. But lots of readers seem super excited about this, so they may find this fact interesting.
)
Ok, I need the 2nd photo on a t-shirt like yesterday now. Oh!
WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT?! That is the MOST incredibly amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire 28 years and I want one! Although I would bet that ethically deceased, stuffed Pegasuses are tough to come by…

Kim recently posted..Day 10: My most embarrassing moment
Wow. I understand the need for all caps. Even funnier, (in my opinion), I showed my 3 year old cousin. And she. Freaked. The fuck. Out. She was all, “Is that my pony? Did you get me a pony?” I then patiently told her it was a Pegasus, an ds he got even more excited. “Pony with wings! Pony with wings!” I had to tell her (sadly) it was not hers, but I could show her the picture anytime. I was all, now you don’t have to clean up dead animal dust poop. Because dead animals totally poop dust. It’s still a funny ongoing conversation.
OMFG I love it, love it, love it, I want one so bad it isn’t even funny! I have no problem admitting I am so freaking, absolutely jealous right now.
Love it when it’s Knock Knock Motherfucker at the door.

OMG…you crack me up!!
Wow- this is better than the cobra-mongoose thing. Well done!
Dear The Bloggess: Since you have an alligator named Jefferson Peabody, I suggest that your pegasus be named Jefferson Airplane. Airplane, not Starship, because the group flung itself into suckdom when it became Starship and the female lead singer started looking like a guest host on “The View.” I cannot emphasize this point more strongly … Jefferson Airplane, not Starship. Have a Bless Day!

I love your Pegasus! I have been looking for something equally wonderful to send to my sister for her birthday but it is unbelievably difficult to find odd animals taxidermied. She loves your blog and book like I do and know she would be shocked/horrified/thrilled to have something this wonderful! Where do you find your animals?

Good sweet lord. Between this and Scrubs’ awesome shenanigans with Rowdy (the taxidermied golden retriever) I just…I see myself having so much fun.
You are a lucky lady.
Also, tell Hunter S. Tomcat he looks like a boss.

This puts everything in perspective. Now whenever someone shows me something “totally awesome” I’ll be like “Yeah it’s cool, but it’s no miniature dead pegasus.”
