    Well I'm working on Halloween as the closing MOD. 3 of us are working that night.

    I may have screwed up already. Wasn't quite given the go ahead on whether we can do costumes this year. I decided I shouldn't wear one as I am MOD, and forgot to mention anything to one employee.

    That last dude may be in costume. I did let him know that I wasn't sure so he should bring work clothes as well if he plans to dress up, so at least I am not the worst person in the world.

    I mean it's a spoiler in the same sense as me saying, "Hey there's a character named Stanley Barfbucket in season 3 of iZombie." It doesn't mean anything and spoils nothing in and of itself!

    As a dude who is at the very last of the slack on his belt, I am very happy for you. I need to know your secret but if it's diet or exercise I just can't follow it.

    Halloween had kinda snuck up on me.
    It's tomorrow yeah?

    It's always been Halloween and it will always be Halloween!

    Mainly I've stopped drinking soda pop.

    Nope. If you google Bob Newby, because you perhaps haven't watched S2 of Stranger Things yet and don't know who that is, the stories that pop up immediately spoil some pretty big shit regarding him.

    It looks way more like a hood from the side but it was hella hard to get that taking the picture myself, so you get the straight on blacked out look.

    My buddy Bob remixed the Ghostbusters nerdcore song we made a couple years ago and put it up on all the digital music stores if you want something new for your playlist.

    Another Halloween, another day of explaining my costume to my coworkers.

    Such is the way of things, and I wouldn't trade my weird high concept costumes for the world, but every once in a while I wonder if maybe I should.

    I can only assume you don't work retail.

    Unless you get a thrill out of dressing up as Satan because you figure the people who shop at the store are too dumb to get the reference and complain to your boss.

    It was mostly a joke, though I did have to zoom in on my phone. Tie looks great!

    Is that a tungsten ring?

    Do y'all want some spooky stories? I've been reading these delightful internet era epistolaries by Michael Lutz for the past half an hour and they're fantastic.

    They're all set up as internet comment threads about various harvest attractions in a couple of small towns in Southern Indiana. Not really connected - each one is just a separate incident a year apart from the last. They're like funny spooky little puzzles.

    The pic does make it hard to see what it is, it's just so beautifully black.

    It's a silicon ring!

    Was letting the kids pick their own candy and basically got mugged by one group that just grabbed a fistful each and shuffled off with barely a thanks. Can't really be bothered to go out to get more, but it's not even 7. Sigh.

    I guess it doesn't matter much in the end, because I still won scariest costume (second year running).

    Of course, it's a barren field because nobody else at my office does scary costumes, but whatever, I'll take my trophy.

    Going to a friends' house tonight with a few other people, where we will start watching the 2nd season of Stranger Things, will be fed freshly grilled burgers, and will hand out candy to little ghosts and goblins and dinosaurs.

    It will be a good night!

    Do you have a good scary costume? Something that screams murder.

    Then any time is okay, because you'll frighten any kids out of a few metre radius from you. Plus, you'll give 'em nightmares for years. Bonus!
