Traffic safety
That fairy tale neighborhood around here that I was writing about yesterday? I guess I should be more careful when I’m driving through it. That Prince Charming is a maniac.

Water closet
This summer at the Madonna Inn, I learned that if you get a hotel room that has a toilet with one of those fancy washlet bidet features, you should make sure that the wash water temperature is correctly adjusted. I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do if you get a toilet with eyes and a mouth, however. I believe bowing is involved but beyond that I’m just not sure. Hopefully I’ll never have to find out.
Watch for flying ladles
I read a news story yesterday about elementary schools banning scary costumes from school Halloween celebrations, and it really annoyed the hell out of me. One item in the story especially stood out in my mind: apparently at one school district in Illinois, “…costumes depicting animals and food (preferably carrots or pumpkins) are in favor.”
Carrots? What is so scary about carrots? That is absolutely idiotic, I thought. But then I watched this film.
I stand corrected, carrots. If you’re pals with that cackling leek there, you’re probably a pretty tough customer.
Right in the kisser
No counterattacks from the moon yet. I wonder if they’re planning something really big.
Boss hoss
Happy birthday, Mister Ross.
Remember to floss.
You gather no moss.
To hate you is imposs.
Discard the dross.
You sure make good sauce.
Matte or semi-gloss?
Eh. Happy birthday, Mister Ross.
Candy hats and chocolate bats
Weird – I was just talking about this very thing last night. Well, not this very thing:
Thanks for introducing me to Charlie the Unicorn, Julie!
Flavor of the morning
I really hate when people use the word “flavor” to describe a variety of something rather than an actual taste. I don’t know why it bothers me so much; I guess there’s just something very twee and unnecessary about it. “What flavor of iPhone did you get?” “This shirt comes in two flavors.” Bleh. You can’t say “kind” or “color” anymore? What is wrong with you? Do you also call a lesson a “teach”?
I have two versions of today’s cartoon – the classic and the avant garde. Only one version features beheadings. Neither version comes in any flavors.
