Our Most Eccentric Halloween Season Guest, Handsome Dan!
Captain and I did a round of "Tradio" for Motley Crue tickets and this brought a gentleman named "Handsome Dan" into our orbit. Here he is holding a petrified raccoon penis. Yup. Uh huh. He just pulled it out of his pocket like it was his car keys or a lucky charm.
This is what he originally came into the studio to share with us. His great grandmother, Cora's, wooden leg. He was offering it up as trade for Motley Crue tickets, but when we realized how much it meant to him, we couldn't accept it. We gave him the tix and he came in for a visit with Cora's leg!
Wow! She's still wearing her shoe and stockings from the 1930's! I make mannequins into lamps, so I examined the leg for the possibility of making it a floor lamp. When it came down to it, I decided not to disturb it. Handsome Dan even had Cora escort him to the Crue show! Did I mention that he's eccentric? Dan is a glowing example of why we love our listeners so much!
As if things couldn't get weirder, Dan texted me on his way home from doing the BLM morning show. He stopped by a friend's house as he was passing through and he was gifted with this!
A male companion for Cora!
This is one of my mannequin head lamps. I sold her to a woman in Madrid, Spain through my Etsy shop. She's not just a pretty face, she's got bright ideas as well.
Thank you, Dan for sharing a true piece of your family history with us!
That penis wasn't just scared, it was petrified. Poor raccoon.
