So I’m writing this in Word right now because Eponym has another unannounced downtime for maintenance.  Sheesh, they have an official blog, why not use it to let us know what’s going on?  This is the second time in two weeks that they are down during my best late-night rambling time.  Maybe that’s a blessing in disguise.

You would be amazed—or maybe not—at how many people at the church Halloween party wore a costume which incorporated a gun (or two).  One costume which struck me as strange, yet somehow appropriate, was a girl wearing a cheerleader’s uniform, a H*ll*ry Cl*nt*n mask, and carrying a devil’s pitchfork.  I don’t know how the cheerleader’s uniform fit in there, but it still worked for some reason.

The spookhouse was pretty neat, for such a small one.  It reminded me strongly of walking into a Doom level.  We were accompanied by a “guide” who was “armed” with a coach gun.  Yeah.  (Brief info for my non-gunnie readers:  a coach gun is a short-barreled side-by-side double-barreled shotgun).

They warned us that it might be too scary for little kids like ours.  My son (5 years old) did get a little freaked out at the end, but then later said it was fun.  My daughter (7 years old), every time something happened that should have made her scream, just laughed.  Maybe next year I can get them to include something Cthulhu-ish.

The kids spent most of their time climbing up and sliding down one of those big inflatable slide things.

I didn’t wear a costume.  I’m still trying to find a reasonably-priced Alucard outfit.  Or Vash the Stampede.  But then I’d have to dye my hair blond for Vash.

Spaghetti for supper, apple pie and chocolate fudge for desert, plus all the iced tea I could drink.  I can drink a lot of iced tea.

They also had a cakewalk to the music of “Werewolves of London.”

It occured to me today that I didn't put up a pipe smoker like I usually do on Saturdays.  I usually set these up on Friday night.  This time, due to my insomnia Thursday night/Friday morning, coupled with the activities of the day, I was just too tired to stay up last night.  I was asleep by 8:30.

I'm feeling better today, and I think I should be able to put one of later tonight, after we get back from a Halloween party at church.

What?  Why, yes, we do actually have such a thing.  With a haunted house, even.  A real haunted house, not the creepy kind with faux aborted babies and drug addicts like some of the weird churches do.  It's also going to be a spaghetti supper.

I was going to do another tobacco review also, but I think I'll have to put that off.

I got occupied this morning with the photoshops for Cowboy Blob's contest.  Thanks to TVLand and their all-day Munsters marathon for inspiration.

Another one for Cowboy Blob's contest.

Eh?  Eh?
