More Oosiky Goodness
Redbeard posted a traditional poem about the oosik in the comments for my previous post on the topic. Said poem, it turns out, also comes free with your every order of actual oosik, which, the Boone Trading Company assures us, is "an excellent conversation piece" and "great for scrimshawing" (the bone, that is, not the poem). Hey, Spike--I hear you're looking for a new hobby...
Google fame is fleeting--I'm no longer a prominent hit for "silliness." However, this diary is currently #12 for "raccoon baculum". Furthermore, Ebay wants me to know that they also have Raccoon Baculum for Sale, an assertion which turns out to be false as of this writing.

Heh, I didn't see the original post. Another fun fact: the longest proportional baculum belongs to a certain species of duck. I want earrings made out of THAT.
