There was one lady in my neighbourhood who gave out juiceboxes. Healthy, with the added bonus that pveryone went to that house because all the candy you ate while trick-or-treating made you really thirsty.

The cutest little kid in the history of forever was the kid who came to the door of my parent's place one of the years I handed out candy for them. He was our next door neighbour, probably about 2 years old*. He was dressed as a ladybug, and absolutely terrified out of his tiny little mind to be going to other

I'm glad you're able to give a different kitty a home! I know after I lost my gal, Mango after 15 years together, one of the few things that made anything better was that I knew I'd be able to give a good life to another animal.

Here is my sweet guy, Tiberius, who is just starting to learn how cuddles work after I brought him home from the humane society shelter:

I do this all the time - as a Canadian , shipping can end up being a royal pain in the ass a lot of the time. But I managed to score $80 off my microwave and $15 off the last pair of headphones I bought. The store I go to hasn't given me trouble yet, though I suspect YMMV with other stores and other store managers.

The bane of my childhood existence was that my mother had to buy costumes a size or two too large, so that she could force the costume OVER the snowsuit we were going to wear out trick-or-treating. Because it was probably going to be snowing. So for years my costumes were Chubby princess, Chubby vampire, and chubby

What is it about competitions for children that send people straight down to Batshit Crazy Town? Was there even a prize for this contest besides the pagent crown?

My feelings exactly...

Sometimes I think people like that pick "Teacher" because they are literally unaware of any other profession that grownups can do.

Absolutely. I just adopted a 3 year old guy from my local shelter about a month ago - and he his awesome. There are so many adult cats there, just waiting for someone to bring them home and give them the kind of life they deserve.

No problem. Wolfram Alpha is my favourite internet toy. You can look up any name you want this way (surnames too!).

Shhh! I'm trying to be good by not naming names!

A co-worker of mine has a combination of (extremely popular first name) + (extremely common last name). She told me that she regularly gets held up at airport security while they try to verify that she's not making up a fake ID, and that they have the correct Firstname Lastname.

There you go:

Bah. Just like a speciesist institution like the zoo to give a job to a human and make him up to look like an equine instead of the many hardworking and unemployed Centaurs, Kelpies, Pookas and Hippocamps who would love to take that job.

She's already backed down and attempted to bury one form of crazy with regards to the autism thing - for a while she insisted that her autistic son was in fact an "Indigo Child". Basically that his symptoms were not an indication of a disease, but that he instead had special powers, which is why he acted differently

Yes, me to. I wanted to fedex them one of these:

Yup - and I blame my mother, who got such wonderful glee from going after our adolescent blemishes for us. When those Biore pore strip things came out, she was in heaven. I got the bug, and my brother now won't let anyone touch his face *pouts*
