   Fucking magnificent.

2. Derek White on June 8th, 2009 at 6:58 am

   Nice. Next I want to see the shot of the goose riding the bike.

3. Sheila Ryan on June 8th, 2009 at 7:45 am

   That is a brilliant diptych, Deron. I will write you in the hope that you might send me files of these that I can print.

   I nearly signed off by typing ‘magnificent’. Then I saw that Lucy had said that already.

   Ditto.

4. Sheila Ryan on June 8th, 2009 at 7:49 am

   And the title/caption/text is brilliant, as are so many others of yours.

5. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 8:43 am

   Oh, Deron. Wow. This is brilliant.

   Um, I don’t suppose you cut off the head, by any chance? Because, um, I’d really like to have it, if you did. Or borrow it. Of course, I can see why you might have wanted to leave it as found.

   So evocative.

7. Phil Bebbington on June 8th, 2009 at 8:50 am

   Great work, Deron. Perfect pairing.

8. Deron Bauman on June 8th, 2009 at 8:50 am

   thanks, y’all. I really appreciate it.

   Sheila, I’d be happy to give you printable files or try my hand at getting a print made. I’ve never done that before. I might enjoy it.

   Cindy, I can get you the head if you want it.

9. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 8:58 am

   By 3 o’clock?

   I’d really like to have it, if it’s in tact. Well, even if it’s not in tact, if it’s still visibly a head. Daryl says he’d pick it up from you.

   Thank you, thank you!

10. Deron Bauman on June 8th, 2009 at 8:59 am

    I’m on it.

11. Amy Mabli on June 8th, 2009 at 9:07 am

    Deron’s off to fetch a goose head. Typical Monday morning.

12. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 9:17 am

    I feel sooooo blessed, y’all.

13. Deron Bauman on June 8th, 2009 at 9:32 am

    done and done.

    triple bagged, organic salad container boxed, frozen.

    I have a meeting at 11 and will run it by after that if Daryl is around.

    the underside was a little, what’s the word, maggoty, so I hope it can be salvaged.

    that was fun.

    how do I get these feathers out from between my teeth?

14. Amy Mabli on June 8th, 2009 at 9:34 am

    a maggoty severed head resides in my freezer.

15. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 9:45 am

    Just swallow them, hon. You’ll be on the road to a #3 poop in no time.

    Daryl picks Mia up from cooking school at 1, otherwise he’ll be there.

    Muchas gracias, amigo.

16. Deron Bauman on June 8th, 2009 at 9:47 am

    de nada.

17. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 9:51 am

    Oh, and Amy–I’m sorry. Thank you for being so tolerant.

18. Sheila Ryan on June 8th, 2009 at 9:53 am

    Amy, it will probably be okay. If the temperature inside the freezer doesn’t kill the maggots, it should at least slow them down.

19. Coop on June 8th, 2009 at 9:57 am

    Both gorgeous and disturbing–the photos and the comments alike.

20. Amanda Mae Meyncke on June 8th, 2009 at 10:24 am

    I like this because now I can imagine the exact freezer, and where Amy might be sitting as she comments on the severed head. Deron and Amy At Home.

21. Amy Mabli on June 8th, 2009 at 10:34 am

    No problem at all, Cindy! I don’t think a person has really lived until she’s had a severed head in her freezer.

22. Sheila Ryan on June 8th, 2009 at 11:11 am

    Amy, I sure wish you had been with me the day I rode in the back seat of my friend’s vehicle along with a frozen beaver.

23. Amy Mabli on June 8th, 2009 at 11:15 am

    I wish I had been there, Sheila.

24. Deron Bauman on June 8th, 2009 at 11:16 am

    I’m fixing to deliver the goose. Also, Cindy, there was what appeared to be a large, taxidermied poodle…. I assume you wouldn’t be interested?

25. Sheila Ryan on June 8th, 2009 at 11:29 am

    God bless us, every one!

26. Cindy Scroggins on June 8th, 2009 at 11:34 am

    Oh, you mean thing! You know how my heart is set on a taxidermied poodle. It is no joking matter.

27. Kathy Hilen-Smith on June 8th, 2009 at 6:30 pm

    There is something seriously wrong here.

28. Derek White on June 9th, 2009 at 7:56 am

    this head would look nice on my soon to be Fancy Avian Platter.

29. India on June 9th, 2009 at 11:55 am

    Note to self: When offered a drink at Deron and Amy’s house, specify “No ice, please.”

30. Cindy Scroggins on June 9th, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    It’s okay, India–the maggoty goose head is in my freezer now. I had to remove the dead cat to make room for it.
