Six Replies to Halloween Post #1: Too Early For Halloween?

Neato... I've seen a costume before where the person appears to have two heads, but that's not as good. Anyhow yes it is too early for Halloween. I feared it might take a month to get everything together. and I didn't want to order the cape and blazer online for 70 British pounds each. (Around $280 total? I'd be quite ashamed of myself)

Your costumes are awesome, BTW.

Thanks, ever seen The Prisoner? You might actually be old enough to have seen its original release, haha...

Haha nothin'! This from the newly 30 year old! Yes, I would have been old enough if my parents had any interest in BBC type productions. They didn't, more of the HeeHaw, Laugh-in set. I was more interested in Rocky and Bullwinkle at the time, myself. I've seen a few episodes since but don't remember a great deal except that it was weirdly enjoyable.

I saw The Prisoner back when they were showing episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel (of all places). I saw one episode on the Mystery Channel once, too, but never again. I enjoyed the show, although that ball thing freaked me out! :)

Anyone can say something stupid every once in a while, of course. But the celebrities featured on this website sure seem to make a habit of it. Only one quote per customer but they probably make up the usual suspects in the dumb quote hall of shame. Go »

It's That Time Of Year

Snow time. I don't live in Fargo so I defer to Denise and others for even more horrible snow stories. But the forecast yesterday was for anywhere between 6 and 32 inches of snow depending on a whole bunch of meteorological variables and other mysteries. Go »

Lauren Peeks Into Imelda's Closet

Lauren is at Summer Camp until tomorrow and while she was gone, I sent her a card. It's become traditional for the card to be "shoe-themed". This year, the outside of the card featured a picture of the president awarding her a prize. Go »

Vacation Week II

Took the girls to a petting zoo where they could not only look at the animals but interact as well. Saw some things of interest to me; an albino peacock (well, I don't know if it was albino but it was all white); petted a llama (their hair is kinda rough); the world's fattest rabbit (big as a poodle!); pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, turkeys & chickens & roosters (oh, my); a beautiful garden of vegetables and flowers; and lots of ducks and geese.

50501

I just returned from the 50501 (50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement) "No Kings" protest rally in Bowie. This was the second 50501 protest rally that Brenda and I have attended. The first one was in early April and was attended by about 100 people. Go »
