Plus, I learned the two-step, and since I managed not to hurt anyone or curse (out loud), I got free passes to come back and bring my friends. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEvery Monday night the Tulsa Country Western Dance Association (don\'t you just feel better in a world where there is a <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Country Western Dance Association</a>?) hosts dance lessons at the Moose Lodge in east Tulsa, at about 7th and Garnett (11106 E. 7th Street). The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, was able to proceed to the following lesson. For days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the white cowboy hat, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended). \r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>','Learning me some two steppin\'','I was stepped on only once, and I came home smelling like 20 different colognes.

Feeling lucky?\n\n<!--more-->\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\nWhether or not you deem yourself charmed, you’re going to want to get in on these St. Patrick’s Day things to do around the state. Whether you’re looking for a blowout block party or a way to sweat your way through the day set aside for St. Pat, we’ve got it going on.\n\nIf you play your cards right, you could hit every major St. Patrick’s Day party in Oklahoma. Here’s our list of some of your best options:\n<ul>\n	<li><strong>Downtown Tulsa</strong>. Centered on the McNellie’s Gig Rig and Arnie’s Bar in the Blue Dome District, where the live music flows as freely as the emerald-hued beer.</li>\n	<li><strong>Bricktown OKC</strong>. The 30th-annual St. Patrick’s Day parade takes over the OKC district that’s the same color as the mud on which it’s built, followed by the St. Patrick’s Day Block Party. The fiddles don’t stop until the wee hours.</li>\n	<li><strong>Cherry Street Tulsa</strong>. Tulsa’s 15th Street will rise to meet you for an open-air St. Pat’s party, between Kilkenney’s and SMOKE.

The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, was able to proceed to the following lesson. For days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the white cowboy hat, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended).

You can also watch a swarm of flesh-eating bugs eat the face from a dog\'s skull.\n\n<!--more-->\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\n\nThe Museum of Osteology—America\'s only skeleton museum, according to its website—displays over 300 skeletons in a 7,000-square-foot building, grouped into about a dozen exhibits: locomotion, comparative anatomy, and forensic pathology are just a few of them. Suspended from the ceiling are the bones of dolphins, a manatee, and the 40-foot, 2,500-pound skeleton of a humpback whale. Admission is for sale for $6 per head.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8539038999_de0f7df5fa_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12915\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12915\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8539038999_de0f7df5fa_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8539039387_989c20db25_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12916\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12916\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8539039387_989c20db25_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8540149400_47ae0d7d7e_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12917\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12917\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8540149400_47ae0d7d7e_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\nThere\'s an exhibit on Oklahoma wildlife.

Most interesting, though, was the museum gift shop. It\'s powered by Skulls Unlimited, \"the world\'s leading supplier of osteological specimens\" (1-800-659-SKULL), which sells various skulls to places like museums and medical schools. Inside I found various small animal skulls, snake ribs, and even bones labeled as those of human fingers. The finger bones were priced at $10 each (reasonable?) and offered in a coffee cup near the cash register, like candy bars by the grocery store checkout.\n\nFrom the store I procured a prairie dog skull (the perfect birthday gift for a certain friend) and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum\" target=\"_blank\">the baculum bone</a> of a raccoon. I heard that in the world of premium coffee stirrers, a baculum is the gold standard. Most of the time, though, I just I keep my new baculum in my purse. It\'s been fun to show it to people at parties.\n\nIf you like the idea of owning your very own animal skull, <a href=\"http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_collection.php?id=29\" target=\"_blank\">check out the Skulls Unlimited March specials</a>.

Most interesting, though, was the museum gift shop. It\'s powered by Skulls Unlimited, \"the world\'s leading supplier of osteological specimens\" (1-800-659-SKULL), which sells various skulls to places like museums and medical schools. Inside I found myriad small animal skulls, snake ribs and fangs, and even bones labeled as those of human fingers. The finger bones were priced at $10 each and offered in a coffee cup near the cash register like candy bars by the grocery store checkout.\r\n\r\nFrom the store I procured a prairie dog skull (the perfect birthday gift for a certain friend) and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum\" target=\"_blank\">the baculum bone</a> of what a friend told me later was a raccoon. I heard that in the world of premium coffee stirrers, a baculum is the gold standard. Most of the time, though, I just I keep my new baculum in my purse. It has been fun to show it to people at parties.\r\n\r\nIf you like the idea of owning your very own animal skull, <a href=\"http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_collection.php?id=29\" target=\"_blank\">check out the Skulls Unlimited March specials</a>.

Plus, I learned the two-step, and since I managed not to hurt anyone or curse (out loud), I got free passes to come back and bring my friends. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEvery Monday night the Tulsa Country Western Dance Association (don\'t you just feel better in a world where there is a <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Country Western Dance Association</a>?) hosts dance lessons at the Moose Lodge in east Tulsa, at about 7th and Garnett (11106 E. 7th Street). The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, was able to proceed to the following lesson. For days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the white cowboy hat, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended). \r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>','Learning me some two steppin\'','I was stepped on only once, and I came home smelling like 20 different colognes.

The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, didn\'t fall flat on my face. In fact, for days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the black cowboy hat in the photo above, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes, in jeans and a wireless-mic headset—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, for the rest of the week. He was asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office. And I did all of these things. (Bob has that effect on people.)\n\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \n\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\n\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a Vegas wedding album full of photos of an Elvis tribute artist/their wedding offi. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended).

Feeling lucky?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\nWhether or not you deem yourself charmed, you’re going to want to get in on these St. Patrick’s Day things to do around the state. Whether you’re looking for a blowout block party or a way to sweat your way through the day set aside for St. Pat, we’ve got it going on.\r\n\r\nIf you play your cards right, you could hit every major St. Patrick’s Day party in Oklahoma. Here’s our list of some of your best options:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Downtown Tulsa</strong>. Centered on the McNellie’s Gig Rig and Arnie’s Bar in the Blue Dome District, where the live music flows as freely as the emerald-hued beer.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Bricktown OKC</strong>. The 30th-annual St. Patrick’s Day parade takes over the OKC district that’s the same color as the mud on which it’s built, followed by the St. Patrick’s Day Block Party. The fiddles don’t stop until the wee hours.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Cherry Street Tulsa</strong>. Tulsa’s 15th Street will rise to meet you for an open-air St. Pat’s party, between Kilkenney’s and SMOKE. The eating could very well be even better—or, at least, just as good as—than the drinking.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>OKC’s Plaza District</strong>. One of Oklahoma City’s hippest districts turns the shade of an Irish hillside this weekend as part of this month’s edition of LIVE on the Plaza.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Fassler Hall, Tulsa</strong>. Greenhouse Clothing and one of the hottest spots in Tulsa for live, local music present a St. Patrick’s Day party for the ages.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a href=\"http://thislandpress.com/03/05/2013/guide-best-st-patricks-day-parties-in-oklahoma/\" target=\"_blank\">Get dates, times, and an expanded list of party options at ThisLandPress.com</a>.','St. Patrick\'s Day Things to Do in Oklahoma 2013','','publish','open','open','','st-patricks-day-things-to-do-in-oklahoma-2013','','','2013-03-07 14:41:18','2013-03-07 20:41:18','',0,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?p=12897',0,'post','',0),(12787,1,'2013-02-19 15:52:37','2013-02-19 21:52:37','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/02/for-reading-feb-1-edition/13-02-01front-cover/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12729\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12729\" title=\"Feb. 13 2013 front cover This Land Press The New Republicans\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/13.02.01Front-Cover-500x869.jpg\" alt=\"Feb. 13 2013 front cover This Land Press The New Republicans\" width=\"500\" height=\"869\" /></a>\n\nAnother one in the books. <a href=\"http://thislandpress.com/issues/february-01-2013/\" target=\"_blank\">Get a preview here</a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://thislandpress.com/find/\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on newsstands here</a>.\n\n<a href=\"https://thislandpress.com/subscriptions/\" target=\"_blank\">Put <em>This Land</em> in your mailbox here</a>.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>','For reading, Feb. 1 edition','','inherit','open','open','','12728-autosave','','','2013-02-19 15:52:37','2013-02-19 21:52:37','',12728,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/02/12728-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(12330,1,'2012-10-26 09:31:37','2012-10-26 15:31:37','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/sing-it-now/7562015676_ff057fa1f0_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11663\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11663\" title=\"Oklahoma This Land Press\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/7562015676_ff057fa1f0_b-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Oklahoma This Land Press\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLike <a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TashaDoesTulsa.com</a> and <a href=\"http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">DO WHAT Tulsa</a>?

You can also watch a swarm of flesh-eating bugs eat the face from a dog\'s skull.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\nThe Museum of Osteology—America\'s only skeleton museum, according to its website—displays over 300 skeletons in a 7,000-square-foot building, grouped into about a dozen exhibits: locomotion, comparative anatomy, and forensic pathology are just a few of them. Suspended from the ceiling are the bones of dolphins, a manatee, and the 40-foot, 2,500-pound skeleton of a humpback whale. Admission is for sale for $6 per head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8539038999_de0f7df5fa_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12915\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12915\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8539038999_de0f7df5fa_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8539039387_989c20db25_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12916\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12916\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8539039387_989c20db25_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/oklahoma-osteology-museum/8540149400_47ae0d7d7e_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12917\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12917\" title=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/8540149400_47ae0d7d7e_b-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Museum of Osteology Oklahoma City\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere\'s an exhibit on Oklahoma wildlife.

Most interesting, though, was the museum gift shop. It\'s powered by Skulls Unlimited, \"the world\'s leading supplier of osteological specimens\" (1-800-659-SKULL), which sells various skulls to places like museums and medical schools. Inside I found various small animal skulls, snake ribs, and even human finger bones. They were priced at $10 each (reasonable?) and offered in a coffee cup near the cash register, like candy bars by the grocery store checkout.\r\n\r\nFrom the store I procured a prairie dog skull (the perfect birthday gift for a certain friend) and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum\" target=\"_blank\">the baculum bone</a> of a raccoon. I heard that in the world of premium coffee stirrers, a baculum is the gold standard. Most of the time, though, I just I keep my new baculum in my purse. It\'s been fun to show it to people at parties.\r\n\r\nIf you like the idea of owning your very own animal skull, <a href=\"http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_collection.php?id=29\" target=\"_blank\">check out the Skulls Unlimited March specials</a>.

Suspended from the ceiling are the bones of dolphins, a manatee, and the 40-foot, 2,500-pound skeleton of a humpback whale.

Most interesting, though, was the museum gift shop. It\'s powered by Skulls Unlimited, \"the world\'s leading supplier of osteological specimens\" (1-800-659-SKULL), which sells various skulls to places like museums and medical schools. Inside I found various small animal skulls, snake ribs, and even human finger bones. They were priced at $10 each (reasonable?) and offered in a coffee cup near the cash register, like candy bars by the checkout at the grocery store we consumers like to buy at the last moment before the cashier asks us for our check, cash, or card.\r\n\r\nFrom the store I procured a prairie dog skull (the perfect birthday gift for a certain friend) and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum\" target=\"_blank\">the baculum bone</a> of a raccoon. I heard that when it comes to coffee stirrers, a baculum is the gold standard. Most of the time, though, I just I keep it in my purse. I like to show it to people at parties.\r\n\r\nIf you like the idea of owning your very own animal skull, <a href=\"http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_collection.php?id=29\" target=\"_blank\">check out the March specials</a>.
