Stay away from the taser!

IC, Outside of the Cemetary for Elves remark in another thread, I have one question.

Do you wear your nice thong at night when the skull is aglow and you dance around those tiny coffins? :eek:

You may need a bottle of that courage Indy was drinking after all
. :D

The light is small enough to just set in behind the skull, and no thong! I think the thong comment was a freudian slip cause CJ was nervous about his thong!lol lol :eusa_doh: :eek:

An idea for the coffin if you haven't stained it yet - before doing so, to give it a weathered look, put a strong rubber band on it to hold the lid closed, and take it for a 'walk' down the block. 'Walk' meaning kick it down the sidewalk and send it skittering from yard to yard and hit everything with it that you possibly can! Make sure it goes through some dirt or even some mud in the process.

Sounds extreme, but it really roughs something up without making it look contrived. I added 60 years to a Zippo lighter in an afternoon using nothing more than that method and a Dremel tool.

Once it's stained, sand down and burnish a few edges to raw wood. It'll look as if it's been passed around and handled for decades.

Don't worry about the woodburning getting scarred up, just touch it up a bit after the fact if it gets too mangled.
