Well sweetie I’d be more than glad to push your buttons, but isn’t “pushing someone’s buttons” sort of slang for “make them angry” or does it just mean “manipulating” 'cause I don’t want to make you angry, OR manipulate you… Well except manipulate as in “to treat or operate with the hands or by mechanical means especially in a skillful manner”… Hummmmm that definition didn’t mention lips (or tongue for that matter)[size] anywhere… 😉 > [@](#): > > Simple dreamer > Ack!

We’ll know it’s starting to wind down when we start seeing PIMF again. Yee Haa! Anything Lurid and wildly inappropriate are my favorite things! **Jaade** No comment on my offer to hold the covers off of your sore knee 🙂 ‘sokay I roll around a lot at night, and would probably forget and forsake my duties. Oh and please don’t yell at me. It’d hurt your voice, and I don’t want to be a bother. **Wyatt** I USED to have lots of fun on Halloween. A memorable trick from several years back was to keep the chain saw (with blade removed) on the porch. When I saw a group of kids that were obviously to old coming up the driveway I’d step out onto the porch and fire that sucker up. 🙂 If they had the nerve to come up on the porch I’d give them full sized candy bars… Gotta reward the bold right? [size=1] four more to go Holy smokes… On preview I realize I type WAY to slow! ---

**SD** … your site wouldn’t let me give you anything, so sorry. I have to say, this year’s costume is turning out to be the best costume EVER!!! I was at a party on saturday night, dressed as a fuzzy wuzzy sheep, and boy oh boy, was that ever a fantastic attention getting device! Mr. Dude also went as a fuzzy wuzzy sheep, and he got tons of attention as well. Of course, we may go to San Francisco for Halloween… I wonder who will get more attention that night, as the best party is in the Castro District. ---

Hmm, I’m not seeing any typos or coding issues in the above post. Maybe I’m immune to **Wyatt’s** disease. Maybe we should suck some of my blood out, and make a vaccine. Then I could be like that character in my absolute favorite Gary Larson cartoon, and I could drive around in the Vaccination Man van, waiting for the occasional, careless poster who mistakes me for a different vendor… ---

Go with your hair in pigtails, a short skirt and knee socks, that skinned knee will just set off the whole effect.

Picture? What does a fuzzy wuzzy sheep costume look like??? I got a LOT of attention the year I cut the entire back out of a 3 piece suit … sprayed my hair white, put the presidential seal on the front … and went as Bill Clinton.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mipiace \* > \*\*Sorella!! \*\* Where have you been at girlfriend?? I’ve been wondering where you were hiding!!?? \*\* Thanks, honey, I missed you too. I’ve been around. But since you brought it up… It’s been extraordinarily hectic lately between job, kids and my private life. Plus, it looks like about 20% of our revenue just upped and left, so I may be required to do a lot of travelling in the near future. I’d be ecstatic if it were, say, Hawaii. Unfortunately, it will probably be…well…um…Ohio. Ah, well. Job security. Anyway. It means I won’t be able to be around here so very much. Sorry. I’ll miss you all terribly, but I’ll try and keep up via email. **tanookie** , keep an eye on this mob for me, huh? I’m handing the mama reins over to you. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally haughtly one up’d by Simple Dreamer \* > \*\*Only 2 pieces? I give out a handful. But then we don’t get very many kids here. \*\* Hey, hey, hey, now! These are Full Sized genUine Tootsie Roll Pops®, not the cheap stuff … _chuckle_ … yeah I’ve thought about pieces of hard candy … by the handfull … We’re a “halloween neighborhood” which is to say, our housing development is small, well lit, and kid friendly and several of the neighbors have traditionally decorated. (just like video rights, I kinda have the claim on the sound effects for the street) I think we get van loads of kids from apt. complexes and other less attractive neighborhoods … so I typically see about 150-180 kids. Not as bad as a friend of mine, who lives in an area called Alameda. (an island next to Oakland) Alameda somehow got the reputation as trick-or-treat capitol for the Oalkand Area (lots of apts. in Oakland) … and she usually sees between 400 and 600 kids before 7:45 when she ‘shuts down’! Yikes!!! She says she doesn’t even close the door, she just leaves it open and sits in the doorway with the bowl of candy in her lap and hands stuff out in a near steady stream! Too much! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tanookie \* > \*\*Are you sure the kids were confused? And maybe it wasn’t that you wore a costume but your choice in costume… kids these days aren’t really into bearded Shirley Temples with hairy legs 🙂 \*\* WeLL! That certainly 'splains THAT! Dangit! I Knew I shoulda checked with someone who actually has genUine kids, before I chose which costume to wear! Ya think if I shaved my legs, That would do it??? I just Hate giving up my cute Shirley Temple ring-curls wig! and the little Dress!!! Oh oh oh … it is Just Soooo cute!!! since I notice noone has thought to ask, yes the anti-spell spell did work out quite nicely, thank you … but … oh… I shouda been on survivor for having to drink that well aged and greened hot-and-sour-soup plus the other stuff that went in it!!! gaaaak I hope noone EvEr turns me into a zombie again! Ever! Worst potion Ever! I woulda waited another week, just to save on costuming … but I’m thinking that, even with freshly shaved legs (given that the legs are so much Easier to shave when they detatch …), a Bearded Zombie, Shriley Temple wouldn’t have gone over any better then the hairy legged one! ---
