Halloween Lessons Learned: "Out, damned blotch! out, I say!"

[colleenaf]

Two things I learned this Halloween:

• Pumpkins just may be my kindred fruit.
  
• Moustache glue should only be used in moderation. Or moustaches should only be allowed to be worn as beards so that the glue isn't so friggin' close to the wearer's nostril head holes.

Now if you excuse me, I have to go and stop the ceiling from spinning. I hope all of

Glue-Hoo!

[raygunn_revival]

They don't call it spirit glue for nothin'. One big whiff and you'll feel like you're having an out-of-body experience.
Oddly enough I used my magical 2am do-over using glue for this art project I've been working on. Crazy Glue. A name I always thought was a bit too strong. It should probably be called "Kind of Disturbed Glue" because it's not all that crazy.

Me and crazy glue have had a long relationship. It started simply, just an occasional accidental crusty fingertip, but that time I broke a bottle on my forearm and glued my own hand to it was rather priceless. Even though the hand gluing lasted for a few minutes, I'm still not sure a midget construction worker could glue his hat to a metal beam and just hang there. For starters what kind of construction hat has a chin strap?

My spirit glue experience was nothing compared to something I was recently made fun of that occurred in 8th grade biology. Basically, I got the giggles after covering each blue line on my notebook with white-out instead of taking notes. When asked by the irrate teacher what I was laughing at I replied straight faced "Sorry, I think I swifted the nite-out too much."

I just love that crusty fingertip feeling. I mean, sure, I start off being all careful not to get the crazy glue on me, but once the first tiny little droplet falls, it's a fixative free-for-all. I like especially when I get it on my thumb and forefinger and I rub them together and can hear them catch on each other. Not as much as I like peeling Elmer's off my hands in big snakelike strips of "skin," but close. The kids who ate glue always baffled me. So much more fun to be had with it than that.

Your white-out story is priceless. Alas, I wasn't introduced to the wonders of white-out till I was already an inveterate Sharpie junkie.

Elmer's glue is second best glue in the world. To this day, the only "nail polish" I like to put on is elmer's glue due to the fact it's fun to remove while screaming loudly in front of an audience of strangers.

I still say Rubber Cement beats all over glues. Anything that makes bounceable boogers is A-okay in my book.

I have seen plenty of moustaches on women in my current locale; but they dont seem to need glue...

[colleenaf]

Do they wax them into Dali curly-q's? I can feel the jealousy building up inside me. Grrr...

If only I were a tad more Italian...*sigh*.

I always heard that French woman are supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous in the majority. A male friend of mine swore that you couldn't visit France for more than a day without falling in love at the sight of a stranger. Needless to say, I think my friend is full of shit and that love at first sight, or maybe just love in general, is for idiots.

Wow, did that just come out of my optimistic typing hands?

I think I accidentally deleted my response: so only YOU will have the pleasure of knowing my esteemed opinion

[colleenaf]

I feel so powerful now. Muaahaha!

Conventionally attractive people do nothing for me, with or without staches, with or without teeth. Even though terrifying teeth are...well terrifying, in my opinion the scariest people in the world are those with perfect inhumanly white teeth. Teeth bleachers. Bah. I'll keep my egg-shells.

This clock change is driving me bonkers. Honestly, it would be fine with me if the sun came up at 9 a.m. by December.

Did you know that there are some states that just ignore the whole Daylight savings thing?

I used to work summers traveling cross-country to coach swimming and in Indiana we had to change our clocks. I'm not sure if there are any other states that are so rebellious, but those IN folk are crazy yo! And if you ask me they are the METRIC to our CALVIN stupid practice.

Arizona ignores it:

That completely confuses me... so how do they stay with in the time zones stuff?
