By the way, I was watching Showtime’s early Dexter episodes two weeks ago, and was surprised to hear and see that one of the serial killer suspects was a practicing “cryptotaxidermist.” (I wonder the source of the art shown.) I have not registered consciously that name being used in such a televised fictional fashion before. Of course, I would imagine that all my cryptotaxidermist buddies either loved or hated the reference. It was to kill for, that’s for sure.
