The Ghost of Halloween Past

This is what Halloween looked like in the 80’s. Yes, that crazy decade before the interweb. Back when Tonka trucks were made out of metal. Good ol’ bash other kids in the head metal. Sigh.

My head had grown to full adult size by age 3. Seriously. No, seriously. Oh, and even though I was always the one in trouble, my sister has that same look on her face in most of the photos where she is next to me. Guilty? Well, obviously.

In this particular picture, it looks like she’s balled her left fist into a fist, ready to reach across and punch you in the melon.

Happy Halloween Greg@!

Either that, or she was showing the fist to some chick in line. Girls are dangerous.

Thanks Trench. Hope everyone had a good Halloween. Now, bring on Thanksgiving!

The boys are always the guilty ones.

Greg, its good to see that you’ve grown into your head! Nicole might want to do some research and see if that is one of those things that skips generations. Otherwise she might be bying a bunch of those knit stocking caps for any future offspring.

Thanksgiving??? From the Christmas stuff that has been on display for about three weeks in Lowes, Home Depot and Ace Hardware (you can see where I get to spend my precious free time) I thought we were just a week away from Christmas!

Thanks Stefan, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever really grown into this big ol’ pumpkin. Nicole might want to research her own family while she’s at it, because we both have HUGE heads.

It’s funny that you mention Christmas stuff being out already because we were just talking about that this weekend. We were at Home Depot a few times on Sunday while I figured out that my “mulch math” is just as bad as my regular math.

Their Brand is Collapse"...it's entirely possible that [McCain] knows as much about our economy as Sarah Palin knows about The Bush Doctrine."
Certified, for what exactly?I read this a few years ago, but was thinking about it today. I don't think that certifications are worthless, but their usefulness is limited. And now more than ever.
No Cat FightSo, Wolfson says there won't be a cat fight between Hillary and Palin. Whatever you want to call it, that would have made for a great veep debate.
Obama Needs Better AdsGreat ideas. Especially the pork.
