And that should just about do it. You know it is time, when they show up all stubble and half-assed half-costumes ("i am a deadbeat" "i am a undercover narc", etc.) and with military-sized dufflebags in lieu of the younger crowd's tastefully tiny candy receptacle sacks.

Fuck those kids.

This Exhibit Is Closed.

I'm thinking sardines would be a wonderful treat. maybe that jewish whitefish, but not packaged, just throw a handful of chum right in the kids bag.

On the other hand, I send my kids out and they have dad tax... I always say that I we go through this ritual where I say I want this and that, mostly anything dark chocolate or peanutbutter, then I don't take anything. It's just the fun of teasing them.

Teasing is at least half of the reason to have kids anyhow, as i understand it.

Unpackaged bait is a really excellent idea. I am thinking: a scoop of fishbits, and then a scoop of crushed ice, with the admonishment to hurry up and get this home and refrigerated properly. You know, just to cover myself on a legal basis.

fucking brilliant.

I can't fathom why you are not king of something

Is there video of this one?

Also, i wonder how Mr. Metalfanat1c made out with the snowstorms.

I read somewhere that that wound up being kind of a rough scene, at least where it hit in WV.

Those with the ability to dole out power, lack vision.

That is why none of us are the kings of things.

This, Lots of this! please?

crap/ That man has had Maplitonian luck.... definitely winner of Back Luck Artist of 2012

Truly, he is the unluckiest bastard going around here at the moment.

Chris, I laughed my ass off for a good minute straight re: the bait. I informed my housemate, who just got home, of this one and it was met with appreciation.

Also, Chris, Mexico hasn't had an emperor in a good many years. It might be time to set up shop. The job comes with a smart casual jacket and an epic beard:

I am so done with Mexico. The next one will be somewhere actually nice. Maybe Sweden?

Though i will give them this, that motherfucker cannot be faulted for his facehairs.

I wouldn't trust Mexican dictators. They don't really have a great record of being the good kind of infamous. Apparently this one was actually a good man on the wrong side of a power struggle.

Great beard though.

Whatever is going on with his haircut is fairly unique aswell. Is he wearing it in a fucking bun?

Snow wasn't too bad, we got about 8 inches of it. Wind knocked the power out for about 18 hours.

Wasn't as bad as the storm on June 29th. That motherfucker tore shit up.

I'd love strange vittles for Halloween. On Letterman tonight he gave some kids canned chowder. I love chowder!

The thing with those teens is if you don't comply you risk vandalism.

If that Mexican monarch were shorn I think he'd look a lot like Nicholas Cage.

Shaved my face to initiate no-shave November.

Yeah they've not really been getting on for ages, just didn't think they'd actually get to this point. I guess if it makes them both happy then thats ok

I really do need the castle now more than ever. I think I've found the 4th housemate but she's also someone who I may be having a "thing" with so it could get messy if that doesn't turn out well

I am trying out a 50% reduction in coffee today and all i want to do is take a nap.
