Merry Halloween!
Now I know I’ve ranted in the past on how disturbing it is for me to see Christmas stuff being displayed in the stores in October BEFORE Halloween. But they keep doing it so I’ll keep ranting about it.
There should be a law prohibiting such ludicrous advertising practices. Sheeze, I’m trying to get into the Halloween spirit of things here, one holiday at a time for crying out loud!
It’s really hard to get all ghoulish and goblinated while in the Halloween section of the store if you turn the corner and are blasted with a display of cute little decorated Christmas trees sitting in fake snow!
I was just looking at skeletons, witches, cobwebs and grave stones getting all spooked up and BLAM! I had to go from scary to cutesy in just a matter of seconds… I almost had a friggen brain hemorrhage! I could have died!
So if in the very, very, very distant future they find my body lying in a Walley World isle, take a good look at what was displayed in the isle I was coming from and the isle I was going into, there may be grounds for a law suit! Cha-Ching!
Well at least I wasn’t disappointed when I attended a Halloween dinner theater the other night. You should go to one of these if you get a chance, they may seem a little pricey but it’s usually worth it. The actors and actresses are your waiters and waitresses and keep within the theme of the show and can be a lot of fun. If you go to the same one I did be sure to ask for the cute little Suzie as your waitress, she carries toothpicks in her bra! WhooHoo!
There are lots of local things to do during the Halloween season so get out there and have some fun for crying out loud!
Now it’s been a long time since I really sat down to watch a good mess-in-your-pants spooky movie, mostly because for quite a while there weren’t any new ideas being presented to us in movie plots.
How many sequels’ can you watch of “Nightmare On Elm Street”, or “SAW”, what are we up to now anyways SAW 46? Sheesh how about making something new, or even old, just something different damnit!
While learning to put video on my website, one of the first projects was the “Halloween Drive In Theater”, and I had to pick out some horror movies to offer my viewers. Well because of copyright laws the selection is somewhat limited as to what you can show the public, so I put some older horror movies up that I found in the public domain.
That’s when I realized that there are a lot of movies out there, horror or other venues that I’ve never seen! So I’ll keep putting them up there and they will be ones I’ve never seen and chances are you haven’t either. If you go to my site be sure to vote for your favorite type of movie and I’ll put them up… commercial free!
Comedy is at #1 with 86%.
Whatever you end up doing this season be sure you drink lots of spiked cider, go trick or treating and scare the crap out of some people, just get out there and have some fun.
Have a Very Merry Halloween! Ho-Ho-Ho!

Exploding Crackers!
Click Me!
Peanut Butter makes up about 30% of my daily food intake. Well maybe 50% for the last couple weeks… hey I’ve been busy.
I’ve become like a peanut butter connoisseur of sorts I suppose. When they had that peanut butter e-coli scare a while back I almost cried!
What would I eat… real food? What… like eggs? They’re poisonous too now! Sheesh it’s getting harder and harder to trust in the cheap-o brands anymore.
Needless to say I don’t buy generic brand peanut butter anymore. Peter Pan peanut butter just reminds me of the movie and those filthy kids never washed their hands so that brand is out!
The TV jingle “Choosy Mothers Choose Jiff” came to mind the last time I went to the store and since I am choosy and I have been called a mother from time to time, that’s what I’ll get from now on.
Now I don’t eat peanut butter right out of the jar, that’s just wrong. I put it on crackers mostly, or toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Which by the way you must make the toast first, if you try to toast it afterwards you’ll make a hell of a mess, and maybe even catch your kitchen on fire so don’t do it! Also peanut butter and bananas is just sick!
If there are no crackers in the house I have used tortilla chips or some of those little cheese crackers with some success.
Anyways you get the drift… I love my peanut butter! I’m a PB addict and I don’t care!
Well all this is leading up to something really important that you all need to be informed of… EXPLODING CRACKERS!
Exploding crackers really tick me off!
This is an odd and disgusting phenomenon that until recently I just didn’t give much thought to. But the last few boxes of crackers that I’ve bought have had these repulsive exploding crackers hidden inside at least one of the enclosed packages!
Okay this is how it happens… when I get the urge for a delightful little snack of PB and crackers. I stick the knife into the PB, pull out a cracker and proceed to spread the PB on it, and then consume it. All’s well and I then continue.
I could consume a dozen of them but then without any warning… BLAM! The cracker explodes and falls into my lap in tiny little pieces and the PB ends up stuck to my jeans right between my inner thighs! What the…?
They’re tricky little devils too, you might get through three of the four packages in the box before running into one, but then it happens… BLAM! Then after a having a couple more successful mouthwatering PB cracker morsels… BLAM! It happens again! What the…? Damn, what a mess!
Peanut butter doesn’t clean up so easily and what was once an enjoyable delectable custom is now a frightening experience!
I’m not sure who’s responsible for this hideous dastardly deed, perhaps some punk kid stock boys using the boxes as footballs or maybe a disgruntled displaced ex-banker after his firm went belly up found himself as a grocery store stock boy, but somebody’s gonna pay!
