I'm giving up the BLOG and starting a BOG
Yep, I'm giving up this blog...and starting a BOG.

| Tollund man lived in the 4th century A.D. |
I have purchased an extremely large tract of land in the least populated part of town and have recreated the bogs found in places like Denmark and Ireland (see the before & after pictures below). In some bogs in Northern Europe, bodies have been found, like Tollund Man on the right, that have been preserved for HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of years. A bog is made of decomposed plant material and highly acidic water. Apparently, bodies are preserved because the tissue in a cold, restrictive environment impedes water circulation and oxygenation...and this somehow preserves the body, turns hair red and preserves leather, as well.

It ain't been easy conquering this lifelong bog-creating dream of mine. Ain't no two ways about it, friend! All I've done for the last two years is DIG, DIG, DIG and DIG, DIG, DIG and DIG, DIG, DIG some more. BUT, I feel it is worth it as I feel it is HIGH TIME to have an alternative to the casket and the urn, friends. HIGH TIME. Dream with me for a minute. Just think...in a bog, you have the option of being preserved for CENTURIES for others to admire. Just think, your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson can come to visit you and see your actual face in 6410! Can you think of anything BETTER?? We here at Bogger (the name of my new company) want your personality to be appreciated by your kinfolk and visitors for CENTURIES to come.

ADDENDUM: In follow up to Monkey Man's comment below, yes, I know that Tollund Man and, in fact, probably all of the bog people were actually murdered and offered as human sacrifices, in all likelihood.
