Ha! and Huh? all rolled into one

These Duluth Trading commercials are at once disturbing and amazing.

I warned you.

Ghost of chew toys past

Figured Halloween was as good a day as any to post a picture of a dead body.

Little orange stuffed dog toy

Sept 21-Oct 30, 2012

RIP, little guy. RIP.

Maybe I should feed her more.

Good lord my dog eats weird things.

At last count: acorns. Tulle skirt of my black swan costume from last Halloween. Trivial Pursuit box. One of my socks.

And these are just what I have SEEN her eat. Lord know what she chews while I'm at work...

Batten down the hatches. Sandy's a-comin'.

(Side bar: What are "hatches," and what does "batten" even mean?  But I digress.)

So Hurricane Sandy is headed for landfall, and I watched like 3 hours of coverage this morning. I know it's an "epic" storm, but the meteorologists on the Weather Channel are so geeked out about how cool and exciting it all is, It's hilarious to watch.

Also hilarious? This.

But I know, I know - it's very serious and I shouldn't joke. Thinking about everyone on the East Coast - stay safe peeps!!

Humph.

Not going to lie, the fact that my men's one-size-fits-all costume fits me just fine is a little disconcerting. I'm sure this bag of candy corn will make me feel better.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

My grandfather fought in WWII, so I've heard of FUBAR before and knew what it stood for (F*&#ed Up Beyond All Recognition). But why did I just learn what SNAFU stood for? I actually just thought snafu meant, well, snafu. But no: Situation Normal, All F*#$ed Up. Who knew. I guess one thing's for sure - they like the word F*@#. Can't say I blame them.

Costume reveal

You already saw outfit #1:

Outfit #2:

Complete with saddle shoes, which I wore for 8 years but haven't had any desire to wear since high school.

And unfortunately, outfit #3:

My team is going as Betty and Veronica at work, so naturally that makes me...Archie. Sigh. (The hairpiece is PARTICULARLY unfortunate.)

I'll just get all hopped up on candy and get through it. Happy Halloween!
