Halloween Fix for Today*
I fully intended to get online today to post, to respond to posts, to go blogsurfing, etc., but instead, I got sidetracked. Very. Would you like to see what sidetracked me?
Go ahead and click on 'em. (Clarification dedicated to Marie: Or, in other words, each of the pictures below is a link, and if you click on it, it will take you to what I really wanted you to see.)
A great...uh...children's...? book:
Melissa, this one won't scare even you, I promise. Go ahead and click:
And this is definitely for the "what in the weird?" stack:
By the way,
HAVE YOU ENTERED ONE OF MY CONTESTS YET?
(Or both. And there is no limit to how many times you enter. And there is no reason not to enter. C'mon, it's not like anyone has entered anything anyway (except for just a few links, and I NEED MORE. And aren't you dying to know what's in the prize package?)
*I'd like to say that I could post something Halloweenie every day, but I can't. So maybe a better post title would've been "Halloween Fix for the Week." Whatever.

I love Edward Gorey! (and your masthead is cool!)
no car crashes this halloween? the best scares of all!
I love the Gashlycrumb Tinies -- Edward Gorey is family favorite. I wonder if he has a website? If so, it would probably make a great entry for your Halloween links...
I'll check out #2 when I'm on a computer with video.
And I really wish you hadn't added #3. I don't care if they're humans or chickens -- the whole concept of conjoined twins just really disturbs me.
EEEEEEEEEK!
Well, howdy, seabird. Welcome. And yeah, Edward Gorey has a gift.
Nate--Thanks for the memories! I'd half-forgotten about that. (And if anyone wants a good tip, try NOT to get in a car accident on the way to a Halloween party when you are in full costume. Then again...maybe that was really interesting for bystanders, huh?)
Marie--OH NO! This means that YOU DIDN'T REALIZE THOSE PICTURES WERE LINKS! AAAH! I have to go fix that right away. And Marie, you HAVE TO click on those chicks. Have to.
Oh, how I missed you wynne! Who else is going to help me use the vat of fake blood and lizard butts I ordered half-priced online?
Funny verification code:
rmgal
RM Gal!
There'll be no talks of return missionaries during Wynne's Halloween Fest, naughty verification code.
Hey elastic, you still have to send me your FRICKIN' STREET ADDRESS so I can send you a FRICKIN' NIGHTLIGHT.
And I'm totally going to cherish that comment forever.
*sigh*
Elastic missed me!
(Yes, but what did she throw at you? Maybe it's lucky you ducked.)
Oh boy. Now I'm talking to myself in the third person on my own blog.
Weiiiiiiirdoooo.
See, there I go again.
Fun links! (My kids loved the cartoon.)
Don't worry--I know lots of perfectly normal people that talk to themselves. Like, um, wait a minute. . . .
Never mind.
You're weird
When you were talking about being underneath the same big stars I started singing 'Somewhere Out There' from American Tail. I hate that song.
Your dirty work is done for today, wynne. You've spread misery far and wide.
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big stars.
Are you singing it with me?
Somewhere out there............
Big Finale Wynne!!!
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
I didn't really know all the words. I pasted that from a lyric page. Do you still like me even though I loathe American Tail and all it stands for?
And I got me my very own American Tail. It's soft and pillowy and provides hours of comfort while I sit on it and blog.
AAAACK! Of all things evil, please STOP! No!
Yeah. It's stuck in my head now.
And of course you got a link. Usually I only link to people who link me but you're special enough and funny enough and gosh darn it, this Infidel just likes you.
I think I'm going to print that and have it framed.
No, bronzed.
DID YOU SEE THE MUMMIFIED CHUPACABRA?? I'M SHOUTING BECAUSE THAT WAS ULTRCOOL!!!!! :)
I had clicked on the first two, but I didn't realize the third was clickable, too (don't ask me why).
I'm too afraid to click on "Carcass Art," but I really liked the page with the Franken-Squirrel. I love the Chernobyl Chicken -- simple, yet freaky. I will have to forward that one to a couple of people I know...
One of the three times my car broke down in Lehi, UT (yes, three times) I had to walk along a very dark street to get the center of town so I could call for help. I passed a taxidermy shop along the way that was lit from inside and all the critters were looking out at me. Oh dear -- I'm shivering again!
Where do you suppose that artist gets her dead animals?
You know, I used to have a book called "Unpleasant Ways to Die". It was just illustrations, but it reminds me a lot of that first link... :) Thanks for not scaring me this time!
melissa-how long ago did you have this book? Was it what your parents would "read" with you just before bed? Because if so, your parents are twisted.
marie, I don't even want to know. (I was wondering the same thing, though, and had to stop wondering before my brain came up with some ideas about it.)
elizabeth--I'm glad you enjoyed that!
Umm, exc..excuse me Elastic.
I loved the Smooky Ghost Story.
That's all.
Sorry for interrupting.
