Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cool! Do you know where?

Mom wasn't sure, but I'm emailing my aunt today to ask where. My cousin is actually pretty cool so I'm going to try to get in touch with her there, too.

Do! Feel free to give her my email address too, if you like. Not that I live in England, but if she's ever looking for work or advice or anything I might be able to put her in touch with people.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Dread Pirate buffista babies are frightfully adorable.

They totally are. Can we have a Buffista Pirate Baby F2F? Please?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

As if the Dread Pirate Annabel didn't *already* kill me DED with the cuteness, then along comes her piratic cohort Pirate Squeak, to make doubly sure I am DED. D-E-D.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is cool....

Shaenon Garrity has taken the Star Trek classic episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles," and showed us what would have happened had it been adapted into illustrated book form... by Edward Gorey. This is almost a perfect morbid whimsical geekstorm.

When I was a kid our parents just turned us loose in costumes without adult supervision from the age of 7 or 8. That allowed a great combo of trick-or-treating fun with other kids and the thrill of getting scared without Mom or Dad right there to reassure us. I feel sad that modern parents are so protective their kids never really get that scary rush of adrenaline from Halloween.

I don't think I ever went trick-or-treating by myself. But then, my dad was the best trick-or-treating companion I could ask for. Trick-or-treating highlights included conversations about what monsters could be lurking around and the best ways to subdue them or strike an alliance with them.

Jilli, I love your dad.

Jilli, I love your dad.

Someday you'll get to meet my folks, I promise. I'll figure out a way to bring them to a F2F or something.

Dad also helped me with my witch or vampire costume every year, including helping with makeup and making witch hats. Oh, and having me practice my witchy cackling.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Fred Pete, thanks for posting the Teddy update -- and I love the new kid's name!
