mollusque It's a dentalium necklace. They're just tusk shells, not real teeth. Really, occifer! Dec 21, 2007
sionnach offstage shout:
"Sheila! Remind me to lock up Paddy-the-melon when that mollusque character comes a-calling. The Australian police have declared him a 'person of interest' in the Melbourne marsupial murders. They say he has a necklace made up from the teeth of his victims. When I think of the wanton numbat slaughter at that monster's hands, it leaves me heartscalded." Dec 21, 2007
mollusque Interesting--OED2 defines paddymelon as the fruit (bristly with a bitter taste) and pademelon as the marsupial (gristly with a better taste). Dec 21, 2007
sionnach How this got on the 'Gourds & Melons' list is a bit of a mystery.
Ah, I get it. It's a small reddish-brown wallaby with huge knockers.
