Now I'm kinda sad/nostalgic…….the time gramma smashed a few up and just put the broken edges in the stuffing……sigh……good times.
It's better that way because at first people assume they're just the wishbone.
We used to call it 'Bloody Black Shit Friday'.
I guess my gramma was a purist. She used to "crucify" the razor blades with nails and hide them in the Easter eggs. Never figured how she got them in there. I asked her once and she said, "Simple, honey. You just feed them to the hens and they do the rest."
That's novel. I can see where you get your creativity from.
We had our first three in 11 years tonight, because the gardener left the gate open. We were running around like idiots wondering, "Do they want stale biscotti we never ate?"
I'm hoping my gardener didn't do that back home in CA. He comes in on Monday, and the last several times that I've been away, the gate has been open when I get back.
Down here, I padlocked the gate and the house sets back from the street about 200 feet. None shall pass!
Sad. I used a Tiger Pit last year to keep them around till I got back from the store, but those kids got wise really fast. Maybe try rocket nets next year.
They: "So, there's bets going on downstairs on what's in your Brain Mold"
Me: "Oh?"
They: "So…what's in your Brain Mold?"
Me: "Brain."
They" *Horrified Expression*
It rained up here and we lost power for half an hour while I was writing up a proposal I just submitted. My UPS kept the intertubes going, if not I'd tether to my phone, the cell tower next door has a backup generator. Otherwise,print it out, hop in the beetle, drive over there, tie it to a rock and throw it over the fucking fence
I set up my shipping container with a 45 watt solar system a few years ago. Fun project, only cost $200 including the battery. Trouble is, with those steel walls, ain't no cell signal gonna sneak in.
My Prius has about one kWh of battery storage. My house is pretty low on the electricity load, we could probably hold out with the cars and some jerry rigged stuff for a while.
you say that like it's a bad thing. You can take off your tinfoil hat! Also, solar is dirt cheap these days, you can get a 300W panel for like $250 or less. Crazy!
I'd like nothing better than to be able to take advantage of it. I intend to take the proceeds from the sale of the desert compound and build a garage in CA. For "reasons", my existing shop building (and an RV space out back) are on a separate meter, so even if I installed a solar roof, running the power up to the house would entail some serious demolition. Or more overhead lines, which I'm not too keen on. Everything's a pipedream, anyway…
Lock him up!
I would just like to take this opportunity to say: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE TRICK OR TREATERS?
I haven't had a single one. wtf.
Maybe take down the clown hung by it's neck from the tree.
What am I supposed to do with all these razor blades? The little fuckers.
They'll keep. We used to save them for T-Giving.
Make sense. No one expects them then.

First world problems, I know.
it's so hard to find good help these days, isn't it?

We had 44 last night. This neighborhood is way more diverse than even last year o_o
I devoured all the Trick-or Treaters last year. Really should have planned ahead.
It really sucks when you run out early and you have to turn off your porch light.

Super glue on the walkway might help, or at least slow them down.
Here you go:

They'll never get away.
In the convenient gallon size!
And there's always this:

I voted [Yes on 3] in NV, because Enron could never happen again, right?
I'd get a couple of these just to be safe. (That's Elon in the pic.)
