In this morning’s mail

The fabulous, ultra-rare Donner Party meat platter from Tepco China Co.’s Early California series arrived in this morning’s mail.

Yes, it’s a creepy concept if you know how the Donner Party survivors stayed alive by cannibalizing the bodies of friends and relatives who starved to death while snowbound in the Sierras during the winter of 1846-47. That just adds to the cache, in my twisted view. The fact that I got it for only $36 plus shipping makes me very very happy.
