Just thought this was funny...
Sweet hubby sent me an e-mail yesterday informing me that they have a new pet that's been hanging around outside their receiving doors. No, it's not a hungy wild dog. It's this cute little guy.
Isn't he cute?! He looks like a chubby little bat. This is the closest he could zoom in with his camera. If you look closely you can kind of see his little mouth. Well, at least on the picture he sent me you can. For some reason I can't get the picture to show up any bigger on this page. He looks like he's yelling to get that damned camera out of his face!
I want to pet him!!

I was going to comment about the bat, but then it hit me - your husband works in a morgue??
So let me get this straight, your husband works in a morgue and a bass player from a rock group moving in with you... anything else I should know?
Damn, I need to find some more interesting friends (no offense LazySmurf and Jullius).
Well, also being a goth/punk/industrial type chick I was first attracted to hubby after learning he majored in Mortuary Science in college and was a mortician before going back to over the road trucking (family business).
Our first real conversation with each other (at the Skywind studio) involved my making jokes about sex with dead people. And then we knew we were meant to be... Ha ha
Oh, probably even more interesting - he's currently an investigator. But before he moved up to investigator he was a forensic tech. Which basically means he did the eviscerating for the docs, drew fluids, reinserted the remnants of the organs now nicely bagged up into the body cavity and sewed them up. I visited him a few times while working in back and helped out a bit. Mostly hosing down tables and sinks after the autopsies, but I did get to touch a human brain as well as other organs.
Awesome.
Apparently I went into the wrong profession. Its gotta be easier keeping a woman's attention while describing slicing and dicing dead people compared to sitting in front of a computer all day...
there's still time to change careers, you're still young;)
If you actually venture up to the cities some day maybe we can sweet talk Mr. Gumby into giving you the 10-cent tour of the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office. Maybe he'll even show you the room with the super extractor fan and maggot-proof door that they use for corpses that are, ahem, "less than fresh".
Or perhaps they'll still have some of the jar 'o brains or fetus in the back room...
Wait one second here...am I to understand that on top of all this, you are a fire fighter too?
Woops, I thought I was looking at your pics when I was in fact looking at your husband's.
