Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Look at GFY, go as Bai Ling.

Thanks for the ideas!

I'm going to buy wee pumpkins and have pumpkin painting.

I'm ordering a tray of chicken nuggets and a tray of mac n' cheese so that they can have something to eat before trick or treating.

I do very much like the pinata, though. I may have to do that.

They did the donuts thing last year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Going straight from the office you're pretty much guaranteeing a hostile work environment for someone.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Pumpkin painting is a great idea. Oh, what about face painting too?

DJ I have no idea what they wear in Hollywood these days, so I say go retro.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think I'll stick with my version of Hollywood. Maybe I'll try to flash underwear as I get out of the car if that'll help.

Underwear is so New York.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They did the donuts thing last year.

THAT's how good an idea it is!

Painting pumpkins is a good idea, too.

The engineers are intrigued by the idea of a pinata.

Dave Sims showed he went off the rails a while back

I wanted to get a copy of the Cerebus issue that made his assistant quit (if I remember right). Er, as a Christmas present for a friend. Long story. Anyway, I didn't know the #, so I asked the guy at the comic shop if they still had copies of "the one with the insane Sim rant" and as we both started laughing, he said I needed to be more specific.

ION, before heading home Daniel gave me a lecture about how he wanted me to be happy. Which has depressed me. I would like a refund for my brain.

Making a pinata: [link]

I made one once. I made it a bit too sturdy and it finally had to be beaten to death on the ground.
