One rattlesnake, skinned and cleaned
Brothers and Sisters! Let us first take a moment to reflect upon the legacy of our lost serpentine brother. He died as he lived, with the passion of the sands and the love of his fellow creatures. Mourn not the loss of the fire in his eyes when gazing peacefully across the valley of his beloved scrub brush. But remember the glory of his domain and the intensity of his life. Our dearly departed reptilian recluse truly *lived*! Let us celebrate the glory of nature and be at one with the snake. Let us embrace our prehistoric reptilian form, from which all men hath grown. Let us hold dear our ancestral scales and fangs from which the poisons of fathers first dripped. From now until the sun sets and we enter the sacred metabolic lull. Praise the sun! Animalia Chordata Vertebrata Reptilia Squamata Serpentes Viperidae Crotalinae! Amen!— October 9, 2014 9:03 a.m.
