I've been wondering about that ever since I heard about kickycan putting that poor cat in the freezer. Not that it's beyond me to put live animals in freezers --I've done it before -- but normally I draw the line at cats. I usually put frogs in there. I check on them every fifteen minutes or so. The trick is to take them out when they're still pliable enough to form them into entertaining shapes. I have some frogs playing poker around a miniature table. (Hint: once you have them in the desirable shape, spray them with hair spray and then apply a coat of shellac. They seem to last forever without any visible sign of decomposition)
Other fun animals to put in freezers are small birds, (tried an eagle once, but because of the size it came out looking like a large feathered ball of yarn) , chimpmunks, squirrels of course, ducks, rabbits, possums, and, surprisingly, earthworms.
Earthworms are cool because they make excellent stir sticks, they hold sancwiches together, and add a tuft of possum hair to either end and you'll find yourself with some of the nicest q-tips in the county.
I have one frozen animal sculpture that is pornographic. I keep it under glass and on display. It is a chipmunk mounting a rabbit from behind. The expression on the rabbit's face is priceless. Here's how I did that little bit of magic. I put the rabbit in the freezer. Then I slowly started to close the door. The rabbit, realizing what was about to happen, recoiled with a look of horror on his face. At that precise moment I gave him a blast in the face with one of those aersol cans that have that stuff inside for freezing gum. Then I simply closed the door. The rabbit's face was already frozen and was simply a matter of time before his body caught up. Just a little trick of the trade.
But, like I said, I draw the line at cats. Cats are mystical creatures and I have a tendency to leave them alone.
That kickycan is one sick bastard. I hope he burns in hell for his sins.
Don't tell me that you did not go running to msolga the moment Kicky mentioned his frozen cat to tattle....
Any excuse to get close to msolga and to put down Kicky...
When did kicky mention his frozen cat to tattle?
And who is tattle? Some friggin' newcomer?
No - Msolga does NOT know - and I intend to keep it that way.
Msolga does not need to be distressed in this manner.
I saw the title of Kicky's thread & averted my eyes, then moved on ....
Good on ya.
You see now, Ratzenhofer, yours and Kicky's evil machinations have come to naught.
Msolga was too clever, and wary, for you.
[size=7]<but just you wait, kickycan! One day, when you least suspect, sonmething's gonna happen.

Did you know that you can freeze a bee. Then when it is frozen, tie a piece of thread around its abdomen (not to tight) and tape down the other end to a table. Then when the bee thaws out (it will still be alive) it will start flying in circles. It is really quite amusing. You can even take it on walks.

I didn't click on the frozen cat thread. I just couldn't.

I'm not naming names, but somebody on A2K has WAY too much time on their hands.
But you did name a name... is says it right there!!!
Me too, jp!
Honestly, your post about freezing bees had to be the funniest thing I've read in ages. I've been laughing at it all day. Lessee...where's that "Post of the Day" thread....<off to search>
Gus...just before the cat is 100% frozen grab it under the chin and by the tail nd pull out with all your might....if you keep it in the freezer long enough for rigor to set in as well, they make a fabulous toilet brush....
When I was on the dig, one of my colleagues tied a string around the head of a praying mantis (or walking stick? Or grasshopper?) and kept him as a pet for a few days. He was a bit of a sick bastard.
I don't know, seems unlikely that he could have maintained a high that far from any sort of civilization for 4 weeks.
Hmmmm, pity he had to take it out on the poor praying manis, though ....

I was in Niagra Fall last year, staying at a cheap motel, and during the night I walked out to the pool area to smoke a joint. It was around three in the morning and I had the pool to myself. After I finished the joint, I was relaxing in my chair and happened to glance toward the fence where I noticed something small moving about. I walked over there and almost freaked out when I saw this thing. It must have been a praying mantis, but I had never seen one before, so I can't be sure. I got down on my hands and knees and examined the thing closely. It was crazy. It had this little head that looked like an alien, and when I got close its head moved back on its neck, away from me. Then it started backing up, the head swinging warily to and fro. It was the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. Actually, I enjoyed my little outing with the inscect more than I did watching the splendor of the Falls.
