jesse:

kathryn:

jesse:
i want you to kill me a bear

and stuff it

kathryn:
people in portland seem to think its gross, too

jesse:

but people there do everything themselves

bootstraps style

kathryn:

yeah, that's true

jesse:

they're all "i can learn to blacksmith"

kathryn:

i've always wanted to, just for the cuteness
so many miniatures

jesse:
what have you done?

kathryn:
mice

jesse:

yes, i want one

kathryn:

got a rabbit, but i got scared when i opened it because its like the size of a cat. so i hid it in the freezer and told my roommates it was thanksgiving leftovers.

i think i'm gonna do that one after a few cold ones

jesse:

duuuuuuuuuuude

kathryn:

its so ugly too

its like a jack rabbit
fucked up

jesse:

where the shit do you buy a dead rabbit?

kathryn:

snake store

jesse:

oh right. snake store.

kathryn:
the snake guy and me...we get along

jesse:

i'll bet

kathryn:
he's crazy, he likes to drink whiskey in the back of his store and hires 12 year olds and makes them hold multiple tarantulas

jesse:

ok, you keep making my laugh at work

kathryn:

ha!

jesse:
did you take a class or something?

i mean how is this done?

kathryn:

nope, just started cutting one day

jesse:

started cutting?

is that how it works?

kathryn:

well, i looked it up

its really easy

jesse:

interesting

remember when you were a vegetarian?

kathryn:

you just cut it open, break a few bones, carefully take the organs out (they come out in one piece if you're careful) and then sprinkle the shit out of it with borax

make a wire/cotton dummy

stuff it inside, wire through the limbs

and tail if you're nasty

and then sew it up!

jesse:
"sprinkle the shit out of it"

aggressively sprinkle

kathryn:

sprinkle with force

jesse:

and it doesn't rot?

what about blood?

kathryn:

nope, you take out all the organs, you kinda gotta pick the muscle bits out

no blood because they're already dead!

i want to kill a chicken, taxidermy it, and then cook a chicken dinner for my friends while we look at it

how weird would that be?

jesse:

amazing

you're a strange lady, kathryn
