For a nice, creepy image, consider this:
I guy I know in the dogsledding world has just participated in the oddest of old mushing rituals.

His favorite lead dog passed away about a month ago. He now has a new hat. Made from his favorite dog.

This, he claims, is a symbol of his undying respect for that dog. One Ititarod, three Bear Grease's with that dog. And now she rides on his head. "She'll never get left behind on a run," says he.

I'm crazy for my pups, but that's a bit much.

1. I got one better than that.
I was driving home today, saw a man walking along the street. Turns out he wasn't wearing any pants.

It also turns out he wasn't wearing any underwear either. That's a pretty disturbing image, quite frankly.

3. I've never heard of this.
It rates right down there with embalming your pets or freeze drying
them. Tasteless but to each his own.

6. I'm actually not sure
It's kind of nice, in a weirdo sort of way. Especially if you know mushers, and how nuts they are for a good dog. :shrug:
