From funniegrrl: "During the credits of Antiques Roadshow tonight, they showed a couple of teenagers (brother and sister I think) who had an oosik which had carving on it. They described an oosik as a "petrified whale bone." hmmm. They also said it had been appraised at $1200."
Makes a person wonder what Walter is worth. Not that Walter is for sale. Walter is way too cool to sell.

Walter is a little too white. It's time for a tattoo. Maybe a pretty unicorn.

pogo, the teens used the word oosik, then explained that it was a "petrified whale bone." That's what made me laugh. Also, I think the value probably had something to do with the carving -- it was probably Inuit art or scrimshaw, which can be valuable. Still ...

It's amazing how informative this blog is. I would have never known about oosiks or walrus penis bones.
Walter looks very Tropical.

Judging from the chipping and peeling paint, Walter lives in a rough part of Coral Gables.

Dave, you are in need of immediate mold and mildew control. Please give me a call.

Walter definitely needs to work on his wardrobe. A nice slack and blue shirt would be good.
Posted by: Hanna | January 22, 2008 at 04:51 PM
Walter lives with Dave? Geez. And here I thought he was judi's SO. Was I wrong?
