Happy Halloween Friday

1) Inappropriate Baby Halloween Costumes <cringe>

Rockstar picked this one as the worst. I maintain it’s partly because he doesn’t know what Hooters is. (Yes this one is Chucky. Yes there is a Hooters baby girl in the link.)

2) 6 Reasons Halloween Isn’t Harmless. <sheepish> It’s here partly because this is the first time I’ve come across some of these points (at least, articulated that way). We barely knew what Halloween was in our childhood, it wasn’t celebrated tha-at much around us… Then it took wayy longer before we had some awareness of what some may not like about it…

Well we love non-scary Halloween all the way, and we’re totally dressing up (non-scarey) tonight, I never liked gore anyway… aren’t there umpteen horribly violent movies that start off with no one realizing you’re screaming for real because it’s Halloween and “everyone” is pretending to be either a psychotic killer or a bloody, injured victim…

3) Hairstyles so crazy you don’t need the rest of the costume

Uh, full points for creativity in naming these?

This one’s called The Cupcake

This one’s the Louis Vuitton Wallet

4) Pizza Order To 911 Hotline Saves Woman.

……..”I’d like to order a pizza for delivery.” (oh great, another prank call).

“Ma’am, you’ve reached 911” 

“Yeah, I know. Can I have a large with half pepperoni, half mushroom and peppers?” 

“Ummm…. I’m sorry, you know you’ve called 911 right?” 

“Yeah, do you know how long it will be?” 

“Ok, Ma’am, is everything ok over there? do you have an emergency?”

“Yes, I do.”

“..And you can’t talk about it because there’s someone in the room with you?” (moment of realization) 

“Yes, that’s correct. Do you know how long it will be?” 

(It says when the dispatched help arrived, the woman was found in bad condition and rescued from an abusive boyfriend. I found this very sad… Thank God the hotline person didn’t hang up. Halloween or otherwise, DON’T EVER PRANK HOTLINES!!!)

5) Just… inspiring. 9 Year Old Spanish Boy Wins London National History Museum’s Young Photographer Of The Year Award.

Was just thinking how if you are throwing rocks at animals or are in any other way mean to them you aren’t going to get to practice taking pictures. Or win awards for doing so. He must’ve learnt through this to be so patient and gentle with animals…

6) Army Boys Having Fun. Not what you think…

This is cute.

This is sweet

This is Am I The Only Grown Person Who Hasn’t Read Harry Potter? (And how did they pull this pic off, anyway?)

7) Rockstar skit is titled Twins!

This day the Miss has decided to complicate things… Here, she is refusing to get on her scooter AND has decided to walk all the way home backwards – while eating an egg sandwich. One of those days where you are absolutely convinced there is Circus music playing nearby before you realize it’s just blaring in your head.

Hello Dere.

Up ahead, Rockstar has decided to make a bold statement about the pace at which we are traveling. Ahem.

Dis is art.

The Miss discovers this and finds Rockstar’s bold statement in performance art inspired.

I can see Egg Sandwich. And Rockstar trying not to smile.

She decides to join in.

Twins!

Of course, then now there are TWO of them. And we are still nowhere near home. <starts to sweat>

NOW what am I going to do??

Good weekend dears… Hopefully we made it back by then……!

Happy Halloween!
