Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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!

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

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

I'll report my results as soon as possible.

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

Ooh, let me know how the seltzer is when you get it!

Since you can control how fizzy it is, I'm thinking that as long as the source water isn't befouled, it should be keen.

I couldn't justify buying the Penguin, and given how much seltzer I drink anyway, the option that comes with 4 one-liter bottles is the best idea anyway, and they last for ~3 years.

Brain Bag

Known for stretching the fashion limits with his avant garde design for the label Undercover, Jun Takashi recently came out with this Brain Bag. An intricate knit of wool resembling the three-pound jelly structure encapsulated by the skull, it's playful but also looks mature and sophisticated and holds its own among other designer handbags.
