The above classic A&J, from 1996, is offered with no further comment beyond, “Stay tuned.” About the tee shirts. I still have not seen them, because they were shipped to the wrong zip code and were delayed. That’s right. The first shipment of the upcoming A&J merchandise went astray. Be not dismayed! We’ll have it all worked out soon. In fact, I hope this will illustrate the hands-on nature of this project that I have emphasized. I mean, if you want fast accurate shipping of an endless variety of products, you might as well shop online!
By the way, I noticed there was a lot of discussion here about Sunday’s Blondie, which involved a large cast of guest characters, including Arlo and Janis. For the record, I had no knowledge of the Bumstead’s “Halloween party” beforehand. I was honored to be invited, but I knew nothing about it until I saw it in my morning paper. Hopefully, as you did!

Pretty much silver, even though my hair is still salt-and-pepper, Anonie.
I did the math, sand, and no, an individual cannot be tri-sexual. Although I suppose if all the participants in a M-F-M or F-M-F ménage à trois are individually bi-sexual, they could sort of be considered tri-sexuals.
Anonie, I don’t what kind of glue one would use to stick spiders or gem stones to one’s flesh (or why one would want to), but I’m guessing Gorilla Glue would work for gorillas.
Well, Sandcastler, I once ran a DND character who claimed to be try-sexual; if it were sexual, she’d try it.

You don’t have to buy it there, just to show you what you can use.
JJ, I promise that once the full moon passes we will return to our abnormal selves.
Mindy from Indy, for you, a Shakespeare insult generator. Just click the button below the insult for a new one.

On a food note. Our Canadian cousins how a new burger offering that will have WHO spinning. http://uproxx.com/life/2015/10/reeses-burger-canada/
Have not how. Beta keyboard is annoying.
Well, heck, that is where most of the spiders and jewels came from! JUST when I realized hot glue wouldn’t work.
What kind of Halloween party doesn’t have spiders, jewels and spider Web stockings? With glitter and a hair fascinator with a giant black widow on top?.Poor Mindy from Indy would stomp spiders this big but the Royals would want to wear the fascinator I suspect.
Isn’t anyone else doing a costume?
I think Sand was thinking like triathletes.
How about Sweet Pea for a new name? I always liked George Jones.
Forecast is 90% chance of rain for Saturday night. Only trick-or-treaters likely to be the Creature from the Black Lagoon or Jaws.
I wonder if we will have rain? Actually unless something goes amiss I am supposed to be out of town or not. I have a lot of blood work in morning for CT scan.. party is out of town too.
Posting this here for Miss Charlotte who is worried about emb. Anyone know aught?
Debbe 😉 “Pretty” is not a word you’d normally associate with a Stones song. But this one probably comes closest to one you could.

Tomorrow’s road trip status is currently “Postponed- Pending Rescheduling”. So I get to watch the extra innings of WS Game 1 and still get a full night’s sleep.
Several regulars seem to have been a bit scarce here lately.

In the old days actors used -Spirit Gum – whatever that was – to stick to skin.

maybe still do.

Gin & Tonic was for Malaria – to hide the taste of Quinine. (from last thread)

You don’t have to be in the sun – just seeing the sun does wonders.
Yesterday saw a program on Humans – how skin lightened to absorb more vitamin D
with less direct sun and less time of sunshine as humans moved North.

“Why do you wear your handgun inside the house?” my visitor asked.
“Decepticons ,” I said.
She laughed; I laughed; the dehumidifier unit laughed; I shot the dehumidifier unit; it was a good time.

Kittens too cute. The batch we rescued have turned out so playful and annoyingly adorable underfoot. We have four ginger cats and a gray and white. We believe all are spayed and neutered now, the orange ones are pretty similar.
I think this is a perfect video for Halloween:

Bear, et al.: I believe eMb is perfectly fine, as there is no adverse mention of him in his local newspaper. Since he is a columnist therefor, it’d mention anything of note.
Good morning Villagers….
Looked back at last thread, and eMb last post was Sunday night at 8:30ish….I’m with cxp on this one.
You guys were having way to much fun yesterday here while I was slaving away. Wish you could have been there 🙂
Watched the movie “Unbroken” last night…good movie, and very intense. Louis died at the age of 97…I recommend seeing the movie. Very moving and factual.
Old Bear, I love that LOL….lots of kettehs……
….and who could say no to Tom Sellek?
When I worked at the hotel, Ian also worked in housekeeping/maintenance. He definitely favors me. Someone asked what he was going to dress up for Halloween….he said “my mom”…another one of those where you had to be there 🙂
GR 😉 ….decepticons….had to look that one up, never got into Transformers
John, good to hear you have made that first baby step…a date and a movie, you go.
Happpy hump day to those who work monday thru friday 🙂
A couple of days ago, I mentioned that my twenty-year-old keyboard was finally wearing out.
I bought a new ergonomic board at Best Buy, a store that I have not visited for computer items in quite a while.
It reminds me of Radio Shack. At one time, the Shack was computer central, but they eventually dropped computers altogether.
I was struck by Best Buy’s dwindling selection of keyboards.
Also, although I did not go looking for them, I was unable to see the massive display of desk tops and laptops that they had not too long ago.
Now, of course, the question is “What will be the next big thing that will kill tablets and smartphones?
GR 😉 and I won’t forget either……………
