P.E.T.A. protesters were out in force at the "Grand Opening" of  the Wisconsin Visitor's Bureau's latest project, "The Edward Gein Memorial Academy of Taxidermy and Mortuary Science"
Investors include the Rev Sun Yung Moon along with a Bahrain consortium controlled by Michael Jackson and several anonymous Chinese philanthropists.
There are also unsubstantiated rumours about a sizable grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Besides offering fully accredited classes, the building houses a small "Museum of Oddities", including several lampshades made by Ed Gein himself.

Ed almost had a cooking show slated to follow the Frugal Gourmet. He was arrested before his debut.

Oh the recipes we missed Muggs!

Sharon, I love you. ;o)
Hmm...I was wondering what to do with the old man when he kicks the bucket. He'd make a good Halloween costume.
No Project Runway with Eddie Gein!

Neil Gaiman's Cereal Convention would be proud.
The fact that they have his lampshades in a museum just redlines my skeeve-o-meter.

What a great video about Ed Gein. I wonder if he'll turn up here to comment...
Ed Gein Feb 27, 2009, 7:56am EST
Thanks for the little extra push of publicity here, Mugg. I'm flattered, and I am also pleased to announce that if you are my Gather Friend, I'll be sending you a link where you can download a coupon for 2-for-1 admissions (or 50% off of a single admission for my loner friends, of course!) During your visit, don't forget to visit the snack bar (I've been working on a blood-orange compote that is to die for, if I do say so myself,) and the gift shop for all your tchotke needs. We're more than just lampshades, you know. We have coin purses, belts, hats, soup bowls... really, I think we give Roadside America a run for its money and I couldn't be prouder!

Ed-- have you tried anything with lemon sauce?
Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed!
Ed Gein Feb 27, 2009, 11:23am EST
Michael, I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" sort of guy. I don't do a lot of the frou-frou sauces and spices. I have seen your video recipe for liver with lemon sauce, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll see if I can dig some liver up later, though and maybe give it a whirl -- just for you, of course.
Ed Gein Feb 27, 2009, 11:24am EST
Nippy, Nippy, Nippy, Nippy!

I'll see if I can dig some liver up later LOL
Backhoe or shovel?
Layla Morgan Wilde Feb 28, 2009, 12:22pm EST
Mugg, did you narrate this? Splendidly gruesome. Domino will take some liver please, chopped...
Mugg Muggles, "The Man With the Jive" Mar 1, 2009, 3:46pm EST
Layla- Nope, it ain't me. I "mined" this off of YouTube.
Yvette F. Mar 1, 2009, 4:04pm EST
Ed, are you single single? I'm looking for someone that's handy in the kitchen and knows how to handle people. I could really lose my head over you.
Krista P. Mar 5, 2009, 8:10pm EST
ooooo very weird!
Mugg Muggles, "The Man With the Jive" Mar 5, 2009, 8:43pm EST
Thanks Krista.
Sometimes I just need to get weird, it keeps me from being a sniper.
Well, THAT and some good weed. ;o)
