Looking good, Dave. I hope you missed the 5 car crash on the Grand Central this morning.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 31, 2007 at 08:04 AM
Mornin' Dave! You look a little pale.
Posted by: Scary Siouxie | October 31, 2007 at 08:06 AM
You should have slept on the train ride yesterday, Dave. Maybe you can have a wheelchair bring you to the plane ahead of the other passengers.
Speaking of them, try not to annoy the other passengers (except Ridley) by being too cranky.

Hmmm... I'm lazy this year. I think I'll just be a nurse for Halloween...
Dave, you're so bony! Care to share the miraculous weight-loss secret?

Happy Halloween, blogmates.
Here's a mood setter for you.
Plus, an all-time classic that never fails to captivate me. (Make sure you have the sound up enough to capture the power of the music too). Thank you, Bill Tytla.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 31, 2007 at 08:34 AM
Meanie! thanks! those two are classic.
*off to put on my VERY easy cowgirl costume*

So you're saying the cowgirl part is off somehow, Siouxie?

They're head for Chicago, but on Halloween... I can't drive up to see 'em. :-(

No bones about it Dave, you are looking a bit puny.

DiverDDoc - glad it's you enjoying the Atlanta rush hour and not me. Remember that our Halloween evening rush hour is traditionally the worst traffic of the year.

Ok, is it me, or does that mask look like Stephen King? I'm sorry, SK, but it just does.

I've decided to be a biatch for Halloween. My kids are going out with their friends, so I'm gonna turn all the lights off and sit on the porch with some wine, in the dark. If any of those little suckas dare to come to my porch, I'm gonna scare the bejeebers outta them.
Just kidding.
Hey, I got a phone call at 10:30 last night. A friend of a friend wants to borrow my horse trailer to go pick up their pig that got locked up by animal control. I didn't ask any questions. How funny is that?

Definately a dry red wine. That will cut the taste of the sweet candy.
One year my son hid under a big pile of leaves in my front yard and really did scare the bejeebers outta the little ones. It was wicked funny.

Ellie - I loved the more recent "Nosferatu" - it was in the 1980s with subtitles. I've never been able to find it on DVD though.
Posted by: Guin | October 31, 2007 at 09:29 AM
Somehow this reminds me of a sign I saw on a grocery store a few years back around the middle of October:
PITTED PRUNES
$0.39 a pound
STOCK UP NOW FOR HALLOWEEN!
I think a lot of kids were very disappointed that year...

ISIANMTU:
A couple years ago, before my daughter became a hormone filled teenager, I was takin' her trick-or-treating. I think she was some sorta fairy princess that year. Anyway, for a costume I just put on my chaps and gloves (yes, I was also wearing pants) and grabbed a rope outta my truck. My daughter said, "Daddy! You're supposed to take me trick or treating!" I said, "I am." She said, "Then why are you dressed for work."
I miss her.
Posted by: blurk | October 31, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Ooo, hadn't heard of that one Guin! Have you seen Shadow Of A Vampire? It's about a group making a vampire film, but they use a real Nosferatu. Funny and creepy. Willem DeFoe plays the vampire. Eddie Izzard also stars. Great film, IMHO.

*Snork* @ Steve! That reminds me of a Halloween greeting card I saw with a picture of several houses on a neighborhood street. One house had been completely TP'd, including the car in the driveway. The caption under the picture read, "Guess which house handed out the little boxes of raisins?"
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 31, 2007 at 09:41 AM
Willem DeFoe is just creepy, period. Just looking at him gives me the willies. Him and Christopher "More Cowbell" Walken.

Everytime I hear or say "Halloweenie" I am reminded of something that was posted here a long, long time ago. It was a hot dog roasting stick that was shaped like a little man and where his, you know, weenie was supposed to be, that is where one would put the hot dog to be roasted. It was very funny. I was just trying to find it but was unsuccessful. A warning to anyone in blog land that wishes to keep their breakfast in their stomachs this morning, as opposed to their keyboards: DO NOT GIS WEINER ROASTING STICK (or any combination of these words) WITH SAFE SEARCH OFF. That is all.
I'm sure that Annie will be able to help me find tihs picture tho. Annie?

Posted by: Just Ducky | October 31, 2007 at 09:52 AM
Happy Reformation Day! Our pastor gave a great sermon on Sunday (more history lesson actually) where he came as Martin Luther. I especially liked the part where Luthor's first sight of the woman who would become his wife was her climbing out of a beer barrel.

Fivver, we did a skit, too. (It was a herring barrel, actually.) I got to be Kate.
Oh, yes, and it is also the last day of Pastor Appreciation Month, so if you haven't appreciated your pastor yet, you have until midnight.
Posted by: gjd | October 31, 2007 at 09:59 AM
Thanks, casey, I haven't had breakfast yet!
fivver, Happy Reformation Day! Your pastor sounds like a fun fellow. Ours didn't mention the wife-in-a-beer-barrel part of Luther's story for some reason.

Sioux, minime dressed as a cowgirl today, too. And took a stuffed horse, that she "roped" as a prop. GMTA.
Her costume has nothing to do with our waiting until last night to shop and everything being gone at 5 stores...... yep, i am running for mom of the year.

I saw a high school girl tottering along the sidewalk to school in knee boots with 4 inch spikes this morning. It didn't occur to me it was Halloween.
Schools dress codes are a lot less restrictive than they were when I went. This is a mixed blessing.
