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.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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!

Maybe they are old school chums and the pelican is just giving him a "Halloothere!" hug.

I just gave in and ordered the seltzer/soda maker. Given my heroin-like addiction to fizzy, unsweetened water, and the sheer number of plastic 2-liters I buy of it per week, it's a worthwhile purchase, and environmentally friendly.
AND fun!

The all-important question: Can you use it to shoot seltzer down a clown's pants?
