Another censored post?

Well maybe not.
Ann Althouse posted some incredibly cool pictures of freeze-dried rats and bats, and dried rattlesnake heads (all for sale in a store).
They looked familiar. So familiar that I’m 99% sure they were the same rats and mice that I saw when I was in New York on Thursday night — in a great SoHo store I always like to visit.
Anyway, I took a few pictures of my own in the store, but the merchandise seemed a bit morbid for the blog. While I don’t like to offend reader sensibilities, that’s not the only reason for my reluctance. My paranoid side worries that the busybody types I complain about (the ones who think along the lines of “anything I don’t like should be illegal”) might read blogs. And if they saw things being sold that they didn’t like, they might propose new laws to grab new headlines.
A shame, really, because now I’ve talked myself out of publishing this post.
Well, not really. Because, I can always censor the pictures I took, and leave the subjects up to the readers’ imagination.


I also took this picture, which doesn’t need to be censored, as I can’t figure out what it is:

Perhaps my camera had been drinking.
