When I was a kid, one of my friends got a stuffed puffer fish for his 10th (?) birthday from an uncle. We klater joked "he's too old for stuffed animals," but IIRC, he loved that thing.

Yeah kids actually love random shit like this.

Most kids would find a stuffed pheasant radical. You would go down in uncle history.

11 year old me was given a bearskin rug and I hated it because it was a dead animal.

Funny thing though, I'm a butcher now.

I bet you're fun to get drunk with.

Not really, I barf a lot. That's why don't drink anymore! I've embarrassed myself a few too many times.

Then whatever kind of fun social thing. I bet you're fun to socialize with!

I got a realistic-looking stuffed animal mouse as a kid from my grandpa. I don't think it was a taxidermy, but pretty real (or to my 5yo brain). I loved it until it unsurprisingly disappeared after I was being a little dick.

Is that a pheasant present?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it is a pleasant pheasant present.

Nothing like peasant uncles pleasant pheasant present.

If the child was a peasant then it would be a pleasant pheasant peasant present
