nasty Oreos
So... they're, like, twerking or something?
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The creamy filling of Oreos was always too sugary for me, and the chocolate cookie part too bitter, I've never been a fan. I can eat them, but it's not joyful, and certainly something I can totally just eat one of.
But no, no lascivious behaviour involved with Oreos otherwise (I totally had to google "twerk", that's a new one on me).
Store/bakery frosting is also evil, as are sprinkles/jimmies. Gimme cream cheese frosting with half the sweetening or homemade whipped cream with a teaspoon of sugar.
Brownies I can get behind if they are freshly warm and there's copious milk involved for drinking.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It was his first TorT, and he was whispering :'appy 'awwoolleen... Ded.
So. Ded.
There was a little girl wearing what looked like a Where the Wild Things Are in an Incredible Hulk color scheme. With huge furry boots. She was so damn adorable and I was too impressed to ask her design. But she looked fantastic.
Need more trick or treaters. Too. Much. Candy. And not candy I particularly want. It's good candy but mostly I stole as many cherry Jolly Ranchers as I could and a few dark Milky Ways.

No other trick or treaters yet, dammit. And my cats are unnerved by my giant witch's hat.

Trick or treating is like browsing "versions of clothes Jilli would own" without leaving the house. Except for the most recent pirate. Her skirt was stripy and should be MINE.

Tiny witches! One of whom was wearing a black and pink witchy outfit!

You're not wrong.

Oh, and there was a wee little pirate girl with a patch and stubble. And blinky shoes. Carried by her dad up the stairs in a full business suit, clearly everyday work attire. "Ask me what my daddy is!" I did. "He's a scary lawyer!" He looked sheepish and said he was a lawyer, it was a throwaway line in the car this morning when she insisted he had to be going as SOMETHING for Halloween. It stuck.

Because books.
We saw a tiny Dorothy with her sleepy!lion baby brother in a stroller, and many princesses. One kindergarten-age Thomas the Tank Engine, too -- he made sure to tell us, very seriously, that it is his favorite show. Too cute.
Lots of really awesomely carved pumpkins out there this year, too. I was impressed.
I'm sorry so many of you had bad weather! It was absurdly warm here, with a nice breeze. Almost too warm for Halloween.

You were spared Mileygate! I envy you :)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, cute!
Huh, Verizon just called me up to save me money on my cell phone plan, and it's actually a pretty good deal. I'm sure there must be some kind of a catch, but whatever, easy expense reduction is easy. She kinda of sounded like she was supposed to be talking me into upgrading my phone, but she didn't push it, like, at all.
