Spike ,'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just checked, bag is gone! Awesome.
Oh, the DCI mention reminded me of one teen. He had a hat (trilby?) with checkerboard band,a black utility vest over smart white shirt and tie, smart cargo khakis and shiny black oxfords. Looked very smart, but I was confused. I asked. He said he was a British patrol cop, but he couldn't find a neon windbreaker. Ok then!
I had one kid who was dressed such that I guessed, thinking Halloween, Men In Black? Nope, just Secret Service. Well okay then!
Teens are already coming by, so that's good. Won't feel bad if have to close shop early. I have candy for about 15 more kids, and pretty sure all the toddlers are done for the night.
So TeeFury is having a sale and I am thinking of buying this shirt: link
Bought it. I've been wanting ever since I discovered oh these many months ago that I'd missed out on getting it the first time.
Just like they did with Maria, my cats put on a full show for Karen and carroomed and careened around the house in her presence. And now are passed out.
Had the lamest t&ters nothing original. Like 10 ninjas. A few with just paint on their faces. No kids I knew. Went threw 1.5 bags of candy by handing out multiple pieces. Lame.
So Mac is officially entering 3rd week sans electronics. He would have to make 100 on big ungraded assignments to get his grade to a 70. Those grades might get posted over the weekend. Not holding my breathe for 100s.
Oh msbelle, we just found out Franny didn't turn in a big assignment that she had actually finished. sigh. She just seems hell bent on tanking her grade, so she gets As on the one hand and then forgets to turn in a bunch of other stuff and gets herself a C. I keep telling myself she WILL grow up at some point.
Nobody recognized Dylan as Asterix, but he looked AWESOME - the helmet and belt came out really great, I thought.
So awesome!
Nobody really recognized Matilda as Nausica from The Valley Of the Wind, but JZ did a good job on her costume.
Best costume we saw was a mother daughter team both dressed as Janelle Monae. (Daughter was like 8, so it was super cute.)
We had a wonderful pink pirate and a zombie Disney princess, those were my favorites of the night. We had a ton of kids. Way too many to count. Then we shut up the house at 8 and went to a wonderful party at Thessaly and Victor's place where I had too hot ciders with bourbon, making this post much harder to type than it should be.

Oh! Remember Sigfried and Roy and their wee white tiger kid? (That was longer ago than I care to admit. I checked my photos -- though I don't have a photo of Sigfried and Roy, unfortunately -- and it was 2003. INSANE.)
