Now here's a tacky gift I was thrilled to receive

Ghoulish Delight · 12-18-2006, 09:28 AM

I believe my sister found this in some knick-knack store or other. According to the tag, it was hand-beaded in Africa. I don't know if some African bead artist visited Disneyland or DCA at some point in their life, but my reaction upon pulling this gift out of its bag was instant and exactly what my sister was hoping for. What does this bring to mind?

Looks like a snail. It has been so long since I've seen it (still waiting for my deafness to kick in) that I assume it has the same coloring as the MSEP snail?

Exactly the same, no. But close enough in color palette and style to immediately bring it to mind.

That snail tried to run us over in '04.
