all hallowed's eve - halloween 2008

scariest costume of the night

halloween fun

this is emily the "mon sir"

raaaaargh

i think she loved it

with daycare lisa

scary crew

my nephew

and these two too

hot chocolate and halloween around home

as boo and i walked to meet breanna at school

and bring her hot chocolate

for the cool autumn walk home

i decided to take a few photos

of the halloween spirit

on display in our neighbourhood

like the fairly standard

not too tacky

suburbia

halloween spirit

the Attention Deficit version below

this

full on

bonafide

down home country style display

our babysitter on mann street

went to great efforts to produce this freaky cemetary

and giant spider web

with spiders devouring human flesh

they're kinda in competition

with the people across the street

who also go to extra effort

to get their freak on

did i mention...

so long george - the joke's almost over

sometimes...

it is within the unforgiving winds of change
that we find our true direction

halloween masks: 2 bucks - creepy factor: priceless

if you see this face late one night

and it ain't halloween
odds are

you've done something very very wrong

and karma has come to get you

pretty disturbing huh?

-

there's something a little clockwork orange about the look

i like it

**insert sinister laugh here**

more halloween costume ideas

bowmanville applefest? peoplefest? picklefest?

street shopping at applefest

pictured above

natalie from the benevolent stranger

looks on as customers cuss in amazement

-

nice weather

filled the streets

and the people

they came

from far and wide

or something like that

check out the video below

i think the fritter folks set a new record

for biggest ever applefest line up ever

apple fritters are fine

but frankly frittering away time in a line up

just isn't sweet jimmy's style

so we went

to where there were no lines to wait in

and got this

chocolate and sprinkle dipped pickle on a stick thing

from happy treats

pictured in the background below

actually

there were lots of vendors who didn't have savage line ups

happy treats was selling big dill pickles on a stick

being a funny sort of guy - i offered emily one

she didn't want it of course

i mean really - who sells a pickle on a stick

but then

the creepy nice happy treat dude

offered to dip it in chocolate and roll it in sprinkles

suddenly

she didn't want anything else

if you've never had one

maybe you should

it was tastier than we expected

sweet jimmy swinghammer says:

a little chocolate

on yer pickle

isn't a bad thing

oh

there were apples too

all sorts of apples
and all kinds of apples

a festival of forbidden fruit

with a lot of church groups turning a profit

pimping pommes de sin

even stuff you couldn't eat

made outta apples some kids and a bunch of old ladies

who call themselves the ganaraska cloggers

pushed everyone out of the way

and danced

a little in your face victory dance

and that gurl from the orono fair

still hasn't washed her face

therewas a bit of a midway

with a ferris wheel and some suckass rides and games

but emska polska

had this thing for the tsunami slide

over and over and over

and then when we were out of tickets

we couldn't quite reach her where she hit bottom

and she'd sneak through this opening

back onto the climb up part and away she'd go again

again and again and again

no charge

that's more like jimmy's style

HALLOWEEN

this

halloween

we're ramping it up a bit

at casa de swinghammer

i haven't quite yet

gotten permission from breanna and the diana

to light myself on fire

and run screaming down the street

but i'm working on it

i think it's a great costume idea

but then

this

is a great costume idea too
