Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Also, if you haven't seen Steven Colbert work out who the next president will be via word association, you really really should.

I was laughing sooo hard at this! He's been really funny all week, but this was the best bit from the whole week.

(Also also: in the middle of it he calls himself Colber t with a hard T. Don't think I've ever seen him do that before.)

He does that when he's scolding himself for screwing something up. It's a great little touch to his "Stephen" character.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Mine is still off-air, too!

They're really off air, Jessica.

Maybe the big hand is dressing them all in costumes.

Art Crawl!!!

Puppies are up!

And both vocal and active and they've got an x-pen as well as their bed.

I've been reading about the Meadowlands (racetrack)' Halloween traditions: a stakes race for Fillies and Mares called "The Witches Brew" (named after a mare?) and The Gray Ghost - a handicap race for all gray horses. (Going to see if I can find video of that.)

Feedin' time at the puppy crate!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, a cool thing happened on my walk home yesterday. I was walking past this pack of high school kids with Dylan in the stroller and they were all chanting "Obama's gonna wi-in! Obama's gonna win-in!"

So I was grinning when I walked past them and one turned to me and said "You voting for Obama too??" And I said "Hell yeah!" and they all started cheering.

These kids were all obviously too young to really be voters, but it was still damn cool to see them so worked up about it.

And Dylan now has "Obama" down pat when you ask him who he's voting for. If I had a camcorder I'd put it on Youtube because it is TOO CUTE FOR WORDS.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mac is constantly growing, so I am stuck with buying for him.

If he gets a little bigger he can start wearing Emmett hand me downs.

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

Wow. Switched out half the white flour for whole wheat and those were some tall pancakes.

The costumes are out here at work, and someone is dressed as a sumo wrestler! (It's a plastic all-body costume, complete with sagging man-boobs and the loin cloth.)

We also have a beaver, a deviled egg, a zebra and her little toddler girl who's a skunk, and a few witches.

(The next department over is made up of mostly 20something contractors who like to party together, so getting kitted out in full costumes isn't a stretch for them.)

Coding and Sleeping

There are a couple of people who would dress up on Halloween but they were both laid off yesterday.
