While driving across Kansas, the thought crossed my mind that a stuffed road kill doll would be a popular backseat kid-cuddly or a nice on-the-street-in-front-of-the-house décor detail. Though soft and furry, the animal doll would be realistically flat and include shattered bones and dried “blood”.
Besides the usual raccoon, skunk, opossum and cat models, exotic elephant and flounder road kill would also be available. Small pockets could be stuffed with beef jerky when displaying in the street to attract crows.-- FarmerJohn, Mar 29 2005 http://www.roadkillrugs.com/ [JesusHChrist, Mar 29 2005] http://www.stuffema...ffe/rikkitikki.html [JesusHChrist, Mar 29 2005] I'm surprised, FJ, and not pleasantly. Very poor taste.-- lintkeeper2, Mar 29 2005 Until the family pet loses a fight with a moving car, that is.
Oh come now [linty], if this were a benfrost idea you'd love it.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 29 2005 I'm surprised, Jesus, and not pleasantly, that it's baked.-- FarmerJohn, Mar 29 2005 That's ok FJ, that means its a good idea, plus yours is grosser.-- JesusHChrist, Mar 29 2005 hit the road, Jack.-- po, Mar 29 2005 Generally, I like it. It is baked as well as flattened, but obviously an idea whose time had come.-- k_sra, Mar 29 2005 I'll take a cat model if it has a velco belly stuffed with plush pink intestines.-- Guncrazy, Mar 29 2005 This reminds me of Not The Nine O'clock News, where at the beginning of one, there was the hedgehog apology, where they had to apologise for running over a stuffed hedgehog, but it wasn't so cruel as, per se, the people who actually stuff hedgehogs... I've got it all on DVD, I wish I'd lived in the 80s...-- froglet, Mar 29 2005 Epoxy a couple dolls onto your neighborhood street where people are excessively speeding (but there have been insufficient fatalities for the city planners to add speed bumps yet).-- Widgit, Mar 30 2005 //I've got it all on DVD, I wish I'd lived in the 80s// Trust me [froglet] you wouldn't have liked it - no DVDs, just crappy VHS. And Margaret Thatcher.-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Mar 30 2005 Road kill elephant? Now that is something that I don't think I will ever see. If road kill happens on a hot road, does that mean it is baked?-- Ling, Mar 30 2005 item #67823880 vintage rat hit by large vehicle. measures 8 inches, many bones missing, but most internal organs are clearly visible. will ship worldwide - paypal only. view sellers other items.-- benfrost, Mar 30 2005 wouldn't the stuffing fall out of the holes?-- zen_tom, Mar 30 2005 One of those run over fish carcases up there is mine.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Mar 30 2005 [AWOL] Pah, glad I'm not a Brit. Shame I don't have one of their passports though, it would make my German Exchange trip a lot easier...-- froglet, Mar 30 2005 Elephant road kill? The only thing thats getting killed there is your car!-- energy guy, Mar 31 2005 //Pah, glad I'm not a Brit// [froglet] It wasn't just us Brits who didn't have DVDs in the 80's - no-one had them. Don't hate us for something that hadn't been invented. PS, Tell us how the exchange goes, I have a fifteen year-old daughter I'd quite like to swap. Oh...the idea...yeah. Hmmm, sick, depraved, twisted, extreme bad taste. Obligatory bun.-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Mar 31 2005 random, halfbakery
