On April 27, 1978, I went to the meat department of Ralphs supermarket and looked at chickens in plastic bags. I picked out a nice one and named it Blinky. Then I drove to the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery to bury Blinky. I ordered the complete funeral service – a lot, interment flower vase, blue plastic coffin with pink stain lining, viewing room and grave marker.

Ten years later, I arranged for the remains of Blinky to be exhumed and hired a lawyer, a doctor, and a scientist to determine the cause of Blinky’s death. Blinky’s bones were sifted through an archeological screen, her remains autopsied and her bones analyzed by a computer. Blinky’s bones were then reburied, except for the few bits that I saved as relics. The major first-class relics of Blinky are preserved in the collection of Barry Sloane, Los Angeles.
