once a fis & QofD:

“Werewolf?”
“There wolf……There castle.”

12 Resriechan 10.31.09 at 6:36 pm

(& Victoreia:

don’t forget, about Dr. Frahnkensteen’s girlfriend’s “knockers” …!!!)

13 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 6:40 pm

Peeps! I just got my first trick or treaters at my door! How much fun is this?! One little guy was dressed as Scooby-doo! Scooby-doo!!!!?? How freakin cute is that?! I’m LOVING this! Big handfuls of candy for EVERYONE!!!! Yay!!!!

14 Resriechan 10.31.09 at 6:44 pm

YAY Scoobie !!! A+ for costume creativity & character choice!

15 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 6:48 pm

*trying not to hyperventilate as adorably dressed little kids and their parents come to my door asking for candy* But…(deep breath.) They’re so freaking cute! The costumes! The smiles! The open bags begging for candy!!! Me…throwing candy in the open bags!! FUN!!!

*thunk*

16 Resriechan 10.31.09 at 6:49 pm

Do ye need the Smelling Salts again, dear?
Glad to know that you have a Cooperative Crowd of Cute !!!

17 Trabb's Boy 10.31.09 at 6:51 pm

What??!? No medulla oblongata-hance? Happy Halloween!

[No, sorry; might I interest you instead in a medulla oblongata dance...? - Ed.]

18 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 6:58 pm

I just gave candy to a vampire and a princess.

*thud*

19 Patty 10.31.09 at 7:06 pm

The only candy I gave out was to grandkids. The first batch were dressed as Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and a teeny (4 mos old) Dorothy. The second batch were a ghostbuster and a ummm, not sure what he was but he had a big axe/scythe thingy with a dragon’s head on it.
I hate that I live on a busy street where hardly anyone gives out candy, and the street behind is famous for both their abundance of the good stuff and scary candy giver-outers. No one wants to walk this whole block for the 2 people with their lights on.

20 DaytimeDeb 10.31.09 at 7:09 pm

Oh My Cod photo #2 is hilarious! Sort of reminds me of when someone tries to feed seagulls at the beach and they all flock to one little spot for a morsel of bread. (For those of you who don’t know about this phenom, don’t try it. It’s straight out of a hitchcock movie, except what they don’t show you in the movie is that birds, um, lighten their load upon takeoff. Everybody around you will hate you.)

21 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 7:11 pm

Patty: Giving out candy is cool. But me? Help me. help me. Zombies. In my house now. They got in. Werewolfs, too. Help! No! The zombies are eating my eyeballs out! Help! Heeeellllppp Meeeeeee!!!! My eyes! My eyes! (or what’s left of them). Oh No!!! Snnakkes! No! Help!!!!!

22 Theresa 10.31.09 at 7:23 pm

There was a piece in the NY TImes this week about how the French think the Americans are nuts for making jack o lanterns. The French were saying “You mean gazillions of pumpkins are mutilated all over the US, and they don’t even eat them? Here, here are fifteen recipes très belles! (then go boil your bums, you silly sons of silly persons).

23 Theresa 10.31.09 at 7:30 pm

PS You MUST click the link to see the LEMUR with his pumpkin!

24 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 7:30 pm

Theresa: I’ve always thought it was strange when I see stories in the news about cities which have “Pumpkin Chuckin’ Contests” But what the heck? I guess this is the good ole’ US of A. And….I love it! God Bless America!! And God Bless everywhere else on the freaking planet too. (I wonder if I’ve gone out of line?)

25 Theresa 10.31.09 at 7:31 pm

PPS AND the monkehs! Minkehs? :roll:

26 Wordgirl 10.31.09 at 7:35 pm

Once a Fish: Hump? What hump?

27 Resriechan 10.31.09 at 7:41 pm

um. QoD: Are you practicing your role, for the new film “Zombies: the Sequel”, from George Romero?

(Guess I’ll have to accept my inability at this time, to convince you of the need to discuss the correct plural form of the term “WerewolVes”…As I am, at present, not too convinced, that you would sufficiently grasp the need to correct the plural form there …. as you seem….. “just a bit” distracted, at the moment …)

(sigh.)

28 chanpon 10.31.09 at 7:43 pm

Downsizing at Meerkat Manor? Now the recession has truly hit everyone and everything.

29 Queen of Dork 10.31.09 at 7:50 pm

Resriechan: Liver.

30 Resriechan 10.31.09 at 7:55 pm

@ QoD: is this the proper completion of your last comment (#29):

“& let dieeeeeee (huge bell or organ tolls/ Paul Mc C & Wings song)”…..???

31 Once A Fish 10.31.09 at 7:57 pm

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I ain’t got no body, and nobody cares for me. Yakka tak ta a yakka tak ta ha!

32 Mud Bug 10.31.09 at 10:12 pm

No more brains ? ” Sssssend morrrrre copsssssss” !!!!

33 James 10.31.09 at 10:56 pm

Cute! I had a family of meerkats living in my back garden once, they used to play with the cats.

I miss them.

34 Heather 11.01.09 at 4:35 am

LOL!!! If only I’d seen this yesterday. It makes me feel quite at home, being a knitter of meerkats in halloween costumes…

35 jen 11.01.09 at 5:47 am

36 Michael Claymore 11.01.09 at 3:05 pm

Not very, very funny – more like Meer-ely amusing.

37 debg 11.01.09 at 8:12 pm

*sigh* makes me miss the Los Angeles zoo’s annual Pumpkin Stomp’n'Chomp. Do they still do that? How I long for the elephants stomping and chomping!

38 Babs 11.02.09 at 12:23 pm

Other Mike, don’t you mean “BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANSSSSSSS”? (No, I’m never letting this go. :p )

[ Wow, I guess you aren't, are ya? :D Good memory! (For those scratching their heads, Babs is chiding me for a spelling error that I made the last time I impersonated a zombie on this site.) -- Mike ]
