That's not weird at all. No, not at all.

There is at least one (perhaps more) roving dentists who frequent the Jemaa el Fna in Morrocco ... who have heaps of discarded teeth on display ... for transplants? Ewww gross, I know. Anyhow, it is a life goal of mine to buy a couple hundred and put 'em in a jar on my mantle ... as a nice knick knack.

I have yet to hit Morrocco myself ... though I've gotten close ... a buddy grabbed me a jar full, but they confiscated them at customs.

That weird enough for ya Jules?
:D  Are you sure you're not a Victorian who's lost in time? They used to collect stuff like that.

I have a Spanish friend who works in Morocco. Would you like me to put in a request?

I love stuff like this also. It was the fact he was keeping them in a snuff tin that was most weird. I'll ask Judit, see if she can get you a bag. In the mean time, have you typed "moroccan teeth" in eBay? It's rather lovely what shows up.

Morroccan teeth you say? No, guess I will now though.

Ever seen Buzz's tattooed pigs feet? Something else I've always wanted to score. Though the artist who did them Vorhese (Jason Friend) no longer tattoos anything ... let alone severed pigs feet. I've asked him on a few occassions ... but he's always declined my requests.

There are other tattoo artists who bit his thing and now do it too; that I could go to ... but the ones Jason did are easily the best I've seen. Not to mention it was his idea and even his "thing" for a while. It'd be like buying Pepsi instead of Coke, ya know?

I helped buy a complete human skeleton for my girlfriend once. Couldn't afford the whole thing but her Mum and Dad chipped in and we did it between us!

Mount Ambulance

Yeah, I've always wanted a shrunken head ... but waaay out of my price range.

(((O)))

Can you buy them? When you're in Oxford, England, please visit the Pitt Rivers Museum. Wall-to-wall shrunken heads and what-not, taken from bizarre tribes in the 1800s.

Sure. That location might be a little warm and hence aromatic though. But yeah, on wall somewhere like you would a ceremonial mask. Maybe with some palm fronds accenting it?
That would metro sexual it up some.

I've never seen them on ebay an whatnot ... but much of what comes to museums was/still is privately owned and often merely on "loan". I've asked at a couple oddity type museums and have been told a collector trade in that kinda stuff still exists albeit much smaller, rarer, and more expensive than say Victorian times. Like scoring anything good I'm sure you'd need to make the right connections.

I only collect CDs and their wonderful shirts. I still need an Alive At The Fucker Club letterpress and a few of the singles I still don't have(Queen, Hooch, Honey Bucket, Lizzy and Leech assuming they are all on CD)

I have the Hooch radio single, if you have Hurray for Me/Fuk You I'd be willing to trade   :D

Chief Ten Beers

Forgot one, I have one of the '07 APOD tour singles. I forget which one, it's filed away with other 7-inchers. I think I played it once. The CD that contains the whole lot of singles was the best part of that purchase.
