Holiday parties are yet another delightful occasion for me to contemplate the dimensions of the kickspace under my desk.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I get to work at the fancy holiday party, and possibly go to the regular one.

I do have a good thing for today: I have witchy feet! Or at least, I have stripey socks and pointy shoes.

The Stepfordification of Katie Holmes - it's a horror movie in plain sight.
The brothel creepers look a lot like Hec's flamey sneakers.
Brothel Creepers come in many styles - the main thing is the thick, crepe soles. My sneakers are just sneakers.
I thought winklepickers were on the cover of Joe Jackson's album Look Sharp but on further review they are merely pointy shoes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am really curious where the terms 'brothel creepers' and 'winkle pickers' came from.
Is there any crossover? Can one get one's winkle picked in a brothel?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Maybe in Thailand.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Winkles are mussels, so a winkle picker is something pointy enough to pry open a mussel.

For $10 extra, sure.

If I only had a brain...
SO repealing today.
Woke up. Household tally: One son throwing up for second day, one daughter feeling malade for second day, me with migraine.
Today? So over it.

The only problem with repealing today is that I am going to be just as tired in a redo.
