The first half of the week deliver comfortable weather for Cincinnati. Then again, some rain is approaching, and Halloween forecast is for miserable. That also means I got another pass of the leaves done because rain and wind means more leaves will fall. Meanwhile, I hope your week is going well.
To send you into the Halloween headlines, (and many of you have probably seen this), but one has got to love this costume.
.
Given Halloween, I dived into The Onion’s archives to see what I could find. For those who want to make their own spooky headline, make one from the words in these headlines. My combo is below, right before the holiday musical treat.
Haunted corn maze owner has another conversation with Zombie Number 2 about not touching
Solitary crow on fence post portending doom
Sexy nurse having trouble finding Halloween costume
In-the-know warn Halloween becoming overcommercialized
Haunted tape dispenser unsure how to demonstrate hauntedness
Costume of Rutherford B Hayes is top seller
Amount of Halloween candy down 15%
Trick-or-Treaters to be subject to random bag searches
Zombie nutritionist recommends all-brain diet
Mars might be haunted
My combo: Zombie nutritionist recommends haunted cow, solitary nurse, sexy crow, and Rutherford B. Hayes
… and for those you needing this holiday song from the past, bring on the Monster Mash. Have a good rest of the week.
Sexy nurse recommends all-brain diet to demonstrate hauntedness. Hmm, makes sense to me… 🙂

Yes, ESPN 2. They play Memphis. ;). Tomorrow I am taking Peyton out for a belated bday dinner – we are going to a place with the NFL network so we can watch – at least – some of the Bengals game. Hopefully it will be on a tv – living in Bears country sort of sucks sometimes;). Who Dey!!

Except in team cities, Thursday games are only on the NFL network … so maybe the sports bar will have it on in the corner.

I know. I remember when cable did not exist. I do not have the nfl network. But I do know that sometimes the games are online – but that was a black out game, in a Sunday when the Bengals were sort of bungling a few years ago. In other words, I doubt it is online. But it is okay – that is what the sports bar is for! Actually Red Robin – so technically not a bar but kind of.

although the “sexy nurse” wins in my brain, rutherford b. hayes got the biggest physical reaction. therefore, if sexy nurse has initials IP, she can’t lose, not even dressed as the scarecrow on the fence.

(head exploding) although it’s my contention that those “sexy (generic occupation)” costumes are annoying. if women want to dress that way, they should just dress that way and stop using halloween as an excuse to look like a cheap slut. they need to stand up for themselves and not settle for just one day a year. perhaps every thursday can be slut day.
