It’s Not Just About The Candy

There’s a lot of things I like about Halloween-

first of all

nobody thinks it’s weird that I have a  skeleton in my living room- sitting in a chair- by my phone-I bought him from Bucky’s Boneyard, I named him Edgar

(click the pic to got to Bucky’s Site)

I  also love the bite sized candy snacks because I’m not happy with sitting down and eating a boring old candy bar- I like them best with  wrappers decorated with bats and ghosts and zombies stamped on them.

Most of all I like anything dealing with Zombies because they are the dumbest monsters to ever be dreamed up and I take a certain weird pleasure in biting their candy heads off.

You know, before I do a little trephination.

But most of all I enjoy Halloween because of the movies-

the vendors put them all out there, old ones, new ones, whatever, which is good because they’re all good-in their weird way.

These are the best of the Strange and Weird-

And my personal favorites.

Enjoy!

The legend of La Llorona – a Medea-like myth that has haunted the Americas for more than 500 years. Now this supernatural spirit hunts again. Over the course of one ominous day this anguished soul terrorizes New York City escalating her appetite for vengeance. A young mother comes under her spell and collides with two detectives a witch/curandera – and the many who suffer this horrifying vengeance. Evocative and suspenseful haunting and disturbing this supernatural thriller brings to life the chilling legend proving there is no rest for a mother who murders her child and that La Llorona is real

Now this film is one of my favorite Sci-Fi Horror films of all time I only watch it once a year so as to not ruin the experience for myself-

I knew it as 5 Million Years To Earth, but it’s listed  at IMDB as

I like this review, it’s from IMDB.

Workers excavating at an underground station in London uncover the skeletal remains of ancient apes with large skulls. Further digging reveals what is at first believed to be an unexploded German bomb from World War II. Missile expert Colonel Breen is brought in to investigate, accompanied by Professor Bernard Quartermass. When the interior of the “missile” is exposed, a dead locust-like creature that resembles the devil is found. It is determined by Quartermass that these “locusts” are evil Martians who altered the brains of our simian ancestors to eventually lay claim to the Earth. When Quartermass’s suspicion that the missile can reactivate the dormant evil in humans is confirmed, all hell breaks loose.

And it wouldn’t be Halloween without

Arsenic and Old Lace.

I mean the story is about two sweet old ladies who are cold blooded killers

and they bury their victims in their basement

They also love to bake and celebrate Halloween.

What is there NOT to love about a story like this one?

 

Now what shall we cover next?

How’s about my favorite Monsters?

Sing It With Me Now…”Hey Sarah Palin”

Hey Sarah Palin, do you tell them in Wasilla
That 4,000 years ago we roamed the planet with Godzilla
Is it true
I am so fucking scared of you
As number 2

Hey Sarah Palin, I think Alaska’s very pretty
But just 100,000 people more than Oklahoma City
Yes it’s true
Go look it up, Im telling you
Oh man, were through

Oh, if you become VP, oh, its Canada for me (2x)
Its Canada for me

Hey Sarah Palin, did you really once inquire
Whether you could throw library books into a big bonfire
God, my eyes
This really might be our demise
This pack of lies

Hey Sarah Palin, just because you’re good at shootin
Doesn’t mean you have the ammo to negotiate with Putin
Are you on coke
This fucking countrys up in smoke
Oh what a joke

Chorus
Oh, if you become VP, oh what will it mean for me (2x)

Bridge
Just because I can see the moon
Doesn’t make me an astronaut, you loon
Your foreign policy expertise is pooh
Do you really think a woman commits
To a candidate just because she has tits
Please tell me that this ticket is not true
I thought that there could be no worse
Than Cheney, but here you are, I curse
The madman who would cast a vote for you
And McCain too

Hey Sarah Palin, is it media distortion
Or would you tell a girl whos raped that she could not have an abortion
Its a new low
Who knows just how far you would go
Id rather vote for Ross Perot
Hey Sarah Palin I dont know
Where can we go

Performed by MC Howie and Julie K

I don’t know who they are or where they came from

but my guess is they are like all of us.

Only funnier.

Guess What I Did

I was in Iowa for a week.

Seriously.

That’s where I was.

And they didn’t kick me out, or send a Priest ( of which there are about a bazillion in Dubuque alone ) to follow me around or wait under my window at night Father Merrin style.

I think I’ll be visiting again soon.

Probably I should let them recover

first.

It’s a long story.

My Dark Little Secret

So this is my secret.

I love pumpkins…year round, not just for Halloween.

But that’s not my secret.

Let me explain.

I collect pumpkin knick knacks and pictures of pumpkins and I cross stitch them on all sorts of things  and I always have stickers with pumpkins on them and I slap them on anything that isn’t moving.

And if it is I’ll slap one on anyway.

Most people think I like pumpkins because I love Halloween.

In part that’s true.

The truth of the matter is- I like pumpkins because they look like severed heads- and when you carve faces on them.

Well.

The Power of Song

Ah magical Chariots of Fire theme, such is your
power you can lend dignity to anything. Even
cats falling on their arses on a
highly-polished floor.

 Even that.

An American Writer’s Prayer

 Dear Sweet Baby Jesus….

Hear My Prayer….

I need a break from Politics…I need my life back…I miss  writing fluff pieces about David Tennant and telling unfunny jokes, I miss writing stories about head hunters and cannibals and what it’s like to bury someone alive ( oh yeah, I actually write stories at my other blog) and having convos about  gummy bears and exploding pigeons.

Just needed to say that.

Thanks for listening.

Now

 I’m going to ask that everyone join me in singing my most favorite song EVER….

Um.

I’ve included it here in my prayers because I thank God it was written every time I hear it.

It makes me feel hopeful…and happy.

Plus it makes Margaritas taste WAY better.

Amen.

Its cold outside,
There’s no kind of atmosphere,
I’m all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly,
Far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comotoase,
Drinking fresh,
Mango juice,
Goldfish shoals,
Nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

Once Upon A Time

There was an explosion at the edge of the Universe.

And on September 13, 2008 a satellite saw

the explosion happen.

The explosion actually happened 825 Million Years after

the Universe began.

In case you’re curious the Universe is said

to be

14 billion years old.

There are a lot of zeros involved here

Anyway.

What NASA’s Swift satellite saw

-in my opinion-

was a ghost.

Right?

Right.

                                          Halloween, it’s coming.

And I am SO ready for it.

Who Has The Best Job In The World?

Who has the best job in the world?

Some would say it’s a costume designer named Katrina Lindsay:

Katrina Lindsay, measuring up the Time Lord  (David Tennant ) for his next Shakespeare role is just part of another day at the office. And if that’s not enough to drive his fans wild with envy, she even gets to tinker with his tights and mull over his inside leg measurement (!) Read More HERE

When I was a kid I wanted to be a writer like Rod Serling and have my own TV show- I also wanted to own my own Funeral Home and Cemetery.

Maybe I should have aimed higher.

Maybe.

Diego

My son is in this video.

It features

Massive Monkees 

who are

 a B-boy

 ( in case you don’t know A B-boy or B-girl is a person devoted to hip hop culture.)

group from Seattle, Washington.

This is a commercial.

In the first one he’s a scientist who gets hit with a fish, in the second he plays the same character and shows up with a clipboard AND A BEARD!).

Oh.

And he helped write it-

God help us all.

ps…i just figured out how my truck got those dents in the hood and on the roof…geeze kid…if it turns up in one of these things you are SO going to have to buy me an expensive gift.

VERY EXPENSIVE.

( for real Diego, I’m proud of you- for standing true to what you do and for being your own man…even if it involves getting hit with fish and sticking it on youtube

love from Mom …and Pops of course….)

The Facebook Zombies

scrawled on the floor under my bed, where I am currently hiding

 is a warning:

Beware the Facebook Zombies

They are real.

They know no fear.

They think as one and serve one purpose-

to spread

to grow

to feed.

On all of us

Be afraid.

Be very, very , very afraid
