Dashiell Bennett at DEADSPIN with a wonderful find today that I’m sure will inspire PETA to steal even more celebrity dollars (not that I’m complaining):
Some kindly Kentucky soul is selling an actual stuffed Wildcat, decked out in UK colors while driving to the hole, on Craigslist.
Interested?
The delightful ad, which is now likely to be spiked for no good reason, has the following copy:
This taxidermy project measures approx. 54″tall,31″wide,& 12″deep. Legally taken and has VA state tag affixed to rear leg. This is a great gift for your favorite UK Basketball fan. Originally &1500.00, and now offered at &1000.00,plus shipping. Thank you for your time.

With no reported public sightings of Joe B. Hall in the past calendar year, I think we might have ourselves a lead.

Better check it for rabies, as you would for most Kentuckians.

Also applicable for any Arizona, Davidson or Northwestern basketball fans. Just slap on a different jersey.

A Syracuse Orange display would probably rot before it arrives.

I don't understand why there's a Virginia state tag on a Kentucky wildcat.
