My New Caribou

My new caribou head form arrived today. Check out those spooky blue human manniquin eyes. I've (tentatively) decided to cover him in extraordinarily fake-looking "fur"--possibly leopard print--in the spirit of this fine project (yeah, I know, I'm not that original after all, but the internet is a collection of collaborative ideas).

I also suppose that his (her?) future presence on the wall of my house could be seen as being in mourning for the newly-announced drilling in the ANWR, considering the timing. In that light, maybe I should make him look as close to a real caribou as possible, but with some sort of resinous black scum hanging off of him like oil sludge. Consider this an open solicitation for ideas on what to do to cover him with and what to name him. I'll blog the project and you'll get props.

Update: The ideas are coming in. The best so far is to incorporate a kegerator, run an insulated beer line up to the head, and serve Moose Drool out of his mouth. One antler could be articulated to function as a tap control. I like this! (Thanks, Gene!)
