Comments on Those Stakes Didn't Go to Waste
That is pretty damn awesome!
Fantastic! This totally beats anything I saw in Ann Arbor tonight. Here it's all sweetness and light. On Halloween I want to see horror and misery. Fabulous!
Looks much more impressive than I would have imagined...
Contrary to popular belief I think your pumpkins are genius.
Most awesome, though trick or treaters would have been cooler.
Two thumbs up.
Lovely! Now do you have a creative answer to the quintessential Halloween question? Over-aged, poorly-costumed trick or treaters: candy or no?
Looks as good as the "art" Jen Graves always posts on SLOG, whaddyaknow?
Nicely done!
I like this WAY better than what's in your neighbour's yard! It's disgusting but funny, so even the little kids will love it (admit it, Terry was right).
Gidge: What I used to do is give the over-aged, poorly-costumed hoods one or two of these:
A rock
Sucker with an insect in it (Thank you, Archie McPhee)
A dog treat
The trick is to palm the candy (and also make it look like you're grabbing it from the "good" candy dish) and drop it way down in their bags. Tell 'em you wanna see what kinda loot they've been getting, and reach way in there when you drop it. Done right, they don't get a look at what you're giving them. Rocks land with a satisfying thump and they think they got a buncha your good candy.
How very Calvin of you. I like it, humorous yet disturbing.
Gidge: You could give them bouillon cubes. Chicken or beef, it's your call.
The entrails streaming from the mouth in the first photo is a nice touch.
I don't know why more people don't use stems as noses on their Jackolanterns, too 'outside the box' maybe.
Your display would have earned a:
"Dude, That's awesome!" From the child version of toasterhedgehog.
@13:
Precisely! I'm sure Hobbes would have approved, or at least come up with a good reason why this called for smooches.
Awesome.
I've never thought of using the guts before. Genius.
That is cool! Nice job. Consider your idea stolen next time I have Halloween off from work. I used to just have dummies on ropes and pulleys slide down from the roof in front of the kids. Your idea is much grosser. Oh yeah!
I like what some callers to a morning show report doing. If it's a teen male, they gave them McDonald's applications. If it's a teen female, they got Planned Parenthood brochures.
we used guts, too. But did you make your trickertreaters cry with fear? We (Cori) did...
brilliant! accessible to all ages. (said with an art critic intonation and attitude.)
Damn, I've got to upgrade my glasses. I thought the headline was "Those snakes didn't go to waste". Sure got my attention. But this was good too.
So very Calvin-and-his-snowmen. I like!
You guys beat me to the Calvin reference, but that was definitely my first thought.
