tracer Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 so anyway, i spared no effort bringing you the picture of tj's greatest cache of eocene teeth. first, you have a carefully arranged grouping. can you believe i got all those teeth on a sheet of paper that cost much less than a dime?! and to achieve authoentricity, i left the glaucomaite on 'em! yay! no arguing about where they came from! oh, and the nickel is for sizing, and the camera wriststrap cord shadow is to prove that i'm a wild and crazy guy who's so reckless as to not put the cord around my wrist, thereby totally risking my camera! (i bite the caps off sam adams bottles, too!) ok, so anyway, then there's a picture of a honkin' toe-oddus, which is pspecial because it was prepped by none other than...can you guess?...you'll never guess...by my own dear son TJ!!!!!! yes, you heard me right. that's real matrix right there and tj coaxed that there toe-oddus out of it where you can ogle it if you want, but this here tooth ain't willin' to relocate! it's tj's! (guess i oughta show the teeth now, huh?) p.s. i'm gettin' a good camera and building a light box and such in my next incarnation. feel free to hold your breath, and i'll just call you smurfee...
