So, just how did we come to acquire this head, you ask? It's a long, long story.

It started many many years ago, when Jennifer and I were five years old and became best friends. But you don't need to know every detail of our boring and pathetic lives.... It didn't get exciting until that day we were at an auction, hoping to pick up some stuff to sell on eBay. (Or just keep for ourselves.) At any rate, I don't know if you've been to very many auctions, but they often sell things in "box lots" -- usually a pile of junk (in a box - duh!) for one money. Sometimes it's a mystery as to just what is in the box, and they often sell dirt cheap.

Well, in one box was an old vintage looking Coleman cooler, and since Jen and I were going on a cross country road trip, we thought, "Hey, that could come in handy!" (Have you ever traveled with one of those Styrofoam coolers? They squeak and squawk! They're a total nightmare!) So, we jokingly bid on the lot, and were promptly outbid by another bidder.

We continued chit chatting amongst each other, gossiping about people we know, gesturing wildly and giving each other high-fives. Little did we know that each of our movements was being taken as a bid... until we realized that we were the winning bidders, and that the box lot sold for $100! Well, we were very annoyed, but there was nothing we could do. We were stuck shelling out one hundred beans for a box of junk.

We loaded the goods up in the back of my Tracker, and took it home. We opened the cooler, and, lo and behold, there was a head in it!!! Man, were we surprised! We didn't know what the heck it was, and figured it was a head from some kind of wax museum. We did recognize it as Walt Sidney, that famous studio executive, made even more famous by being one of the first people to have been cryogenically frozen.

Being wacky gals, we decided to take the head on vacation with us, and take picture post cards to send to our family and friends, using the head as a prop. We kept it in the cooler so the wax wouldn't melt. But one night, we got lots and lots of beer, and didn't have room in the cooler for the head, so we left it out....

When we awoke the next morning... You're not going to believe this!!! The head was ALIVE!!! It wasn't a wax sculpture, it was the actual head of Walt Sidney! Somehow, through the cryogenic freezing process, his head became enabled to live independently of it's body. Walt was so happy to finally have been thawed after all those years... and was even happier to be traveling with two beautiful young women.
