And he's fluffy and adorable in all the right ways. Would probably give great big... BEAR hugs.

Today, I had an experience that reminded me of the stuff you make, Adam. I was chilling on a sandbar in the river with my family and my sister says "Oh, a dead goose" I turn to look thinking it'd be a whole bird half buried in the sand, but I don't see anything. Then she says, "It's on you,". I look down, and against my back, are these white spindly, barely together goose leg bones with some dark feathers clinging to it. I screamed and jumped up, and the thing floated off downriver. Anyway a zombie goose leg with only a few feathers clinging to it hopping towards you sounds like something you'd make, although it was less bloody.
