Spooky Things

Tis the season for pumpkins and such. Did you know that pumpkins come in an array of colours, shapes and sizes? They do. They're also fun to launch from an automobile traveling 120 MPH, but I don't think that's legal anymore, so I don't recommend doing it. I heard that someone recently set a world's distance record by firing a pumpkin from a cannon. Allegedly, the pumpkin traveled over a mile before it smashed onto a Utah desert. That sounds like a good alternative to launching them from cars. Imagine how much fun a bunch of guys could have with a hundred of those cannons... and ten acres of pumpkins. Much more satisfying than paint ball... and colourful too. Rhetro Image (pronounced retro ymaj`e)

Here's a great Halloween costume idea for 2010.

This is a photo of my Halloween costume from 1995. Always a big hit in pro war/Republican neighborhoods. It's Uncle Sam wearing a radiation suit and carrying a duffel/body bag with EDWEENA's feet sticking out. EDWEENA, (my 1950's mannequin that has been in our family for decades), is wearing stylish, authentic Government Issue, black combat boots. This truly scary costume makes a powerful statement while protecting the wearer from potentially harmful radiation. Better safe than sorry, I always say. This costume is best worn on election years ornamented with a tasteful number of political pins of both Republicans and Democrats... the two parties who perpetuate America's wars. That's what makes this costume Rhetro Zenberg's pick again this year.*
This is a photo from my jr. high school year book that features our enthusiastic girl's gym coach, (and health teacher), doing what she loved to do moist. Just look at the satisfaction on her face. I love the reaction of the girls who seem to be awaiting their turn. One of them can't wait to be tumbled by Ms T, another looks terrified, and the third bows her head in shame.
Speaking of faces, more recently, a box marked, "Heads and such" yielded some familiar faces too. What could be more fun than a box full of heads?
* And don't forget to vote LIBERTARIAN on the first Tuesday in November.

A box of heads and a Halloween costume will make all the more complete for you. They also fire pumpkins from catapults and trebuchets as well. They don't go as far as when they are fired from an air cannon.
