And the theme would be: "It's not nice to F%@# with Mother Nature."

 

[obcessedwithit]

mother nature

A good representation of an hourglass is two medium sized rubber balls from Wally World (the inflatable kind), two wooden (or foam) disks and three wood dowels. Find the balls that have the purple swirl pattern on them. Just assembling them will work, but a little mache work will improve it, too.

Or, you could just give him a really big clock (a'la Flavor Flav), but with the hands made out of skeletal arms and hands.
