Catskull

Ace photographer Scot Surbeck, who took this picture of a raccoon skull yesterday in Montclair, wants to remind everybody that life is fleeting. Go smell the crocuses before they smell you.

Great scott, Shot.

Rocky Racoon is pushing up purple and yellow flowers.

Sir Paul may not like that.

You know, he turns 64 on June 18. Will you still need him? will you still feed him?

Damn, those I some big fangs!

Posted by: State Street Pete | Mar 29, 2006 3:33:16 PM

ARE, those ARE some big fangs.

Posted by: State Street Pete | Mar 29, 2006 3:34:18 PM

Racoon claws are even nastier!

a human skull would be, like, 9,000 times cooler.

Anyone you have in mind, LOC?

Posted by: Miss Martta | Mar 29, 2006 3:41:07 PM

Careful, MM. You're opening up this string to a ton of cheap shots.

Posted by: BeanCounter | Mar 29, 2006 3:47:17 PM

Yeah, yours left of center!

Posted by: rrrrr | Mar 29, 2006 3:47:20 PM

neanderthal man?

Posted by: Left Of Center, like Suzanne Vega | Mar 29, 2006 3:47:48 PM

See what I mean. It's already started.

"You're opening up this string to a ton of cheap shots."

And how is this is different from any other day on Baristanet? LOL.

Would have even been better, Scott, if the flowers were coming through the eye sockets.

Posted by: BeanCounter | Mar 29, 2006 3:54:54 PM

Where's the evidence that this is a coon skull & not an unfortunate cat that got spaded before his time?

Posted by: crank | Mar 29, 2006 4:09:10 PM

Uh, Crank, LOL, but you don't spade a male cat. You tutor him.

Posted by: Conan the Grammarian | Mar 29, 2006 4:14:43 PM

Damn you're good!

I have been tutoring cats for years though & it's almost as frustrating as herding them.

next Monday is opening day of baseball...a right of passage for many men who grew up pre 1980. Nothing like the sound of the first pitch hitting the catcher's glove, the green of the outfield grass, the screaming at the umps and the smell of hot roasted peanuts. Play ball.

Posted by: Iceman | Mar 29, 2006 4:28:46 PM

A lovely photo. Memento mori. The prominent, now-useless fang makes me positive this was once a leftist of some sort. I keep thinking of so many small-brained, once-frequent posters whose skull it could be.

Posted by: cathar | Mar 29, 2006 4:31:22 PM

caption contest?

Alas, poor Rocky, I knew him well...

Posted by: marzipan | Mar 29, 2006 4:40:09 PM

Scot, were you walking around with your camera yesterday by The Daily Soup? I may have seen you. If not, there is a guy walking around with a camera over in that area and he must be stopped.

Posted by: katie | Mar 29, 2006 4:48:32 PM

Katie: check your email.

Posted by: Miss Martta | Mar 29, 2006 4:56:07 PM
