Ah pity da foo...

Not really Halloween related...

  Recently, in World of Warcraft, they added an NPC called Night Elf Mohawk (actually several of them) stationed near the starting area of the various races. By chatting with this Mohawk, he gives you an item to use at your discretion: the Night Elf Mohawk Grenade. By using said Grenade on fellow players, you give all within range the "Mohawked" buff and also a Night Elf Mohawk head. Lasts about an hour or until the next time you die.

Gahan Wilson

Some of the art of Gahan Wilson was featured on the Golden Age Comic Book Stories blog last month. I just found it and thought it cool. I do remember seeing some of these, possibly in old magazine or on the web in the past. He has a very distinctive style and sense of humor

Finding Motivation

Why do we do it? What makes normally sane individuals spend countless hours in their garage/basement/workshops creating props of nameless horrors that are used once a year to scare the @#$% out of kids and adults, then spend the rest of the year mouldering in the corner of some dank basement?

Braaaaiinss...

Release the inner-undead in yourself! It's liberating to not have to worry about how you look, how you feel... and tiresome things like breathing... You too can lose weight on the Zombie plan! Shed those unwanted pounds as the fat literal falls off your body as you shuffle mindlessly down the street in search of low-calorie, high-IQ brains. That can be yours for the low, low cost... of your life!

I found this site a little while back called Zombieland: Zombify Yourself. It's apparently put together as a promotion for the movie Zombieland. I haven't seen the movie (yet), but it stars Woody Harrelson, so it's probably good in its badness...

First Annual Pumpkin Burn

Heretofore, our traditional method for getting rid of our post-Halloween Jack O'Lanterns has been the old "throw it in the woods and wait for it to rot in the springtime" method. And it worked. The pumpkins usually froze whole throughout the wintertime and in spring, they would melt into the forest floor like so much orange ooze. However, this always seemed to me to lack that bit of closure for the Halloween season...

But while perusing PumpkinRot's Blog a while back, he posted a link to some photos of an artist doing something I'd not done before: burning one's Jack O'Lantern...

Hmm.... Halloween + Fire? Truly a winning combination...

Thus was born the 2009 1st Annual Pumpkin Burn!

Photos from beyond....

Halloween has come and gone. November 1st is kinda like Christmas afternoon. The excitement is done and all you really get to look forward too is a big clean up and packing stuff away for next year... :-P

 At least there are photos of the big day...
