The Official Nonsense Thread

Ooops I forgot that you said you don't like your food looking at you, so the eyeballs are probably not for the likes of you. Sorry about that. They taste quite nice though!



Fortunately we are not requested to dress up for Halloween at work. Probably because the staff here are not aged 7 years. Good grief. There are some Christmas expectations, but at that is all. I'm glad to hear that you were able to avoid sitting at your desk dressed up like a pumpkin.

As a grown-up alternative to Halloween, last night I went to a Dia de los Muertos event at a Mexican place. It was really fun and the food was lovely (no eyeballs). It's an odd mix of morbid and jolly, with lots of skeletons and skulls but with smiling faces. They have a video here in case you are interested. The staff looked amazing with their painted faces.





Did you ever play 'Grim Fandango'? It was a bit like being absorbed into that game.

I guess there might be little sproglings coming round tonight for their spooky treats but since I'm out of chocs already I'd better get some more. Last year I'd given most of them out from my coat pockets before I even got home, mostly to the exhausted dads who were struggling to shepherd their little wizards and ghosts around the neighbourhood. A large group of kids hyper-excited, trailing their capes and pointy hats through the mud and hopped up on sugar - I do not envy them the task and felt that the chaperones were in greater need of chocolatey rewards than anyone else!

Hope your trains were OK today. And yeah Friday!
