Happy Halloween

It's taken me just over four months to get the time to get off my lazy ass and write a post. Sorry about that. The Marmoset himself, to my lasting surprise, has been here and gone twice during my absence.

Anyway, you may be wondering: what is the occasion that brings me out of hiding? Only that most magical holiday, Halloween. While I love Halloween, and have nothing but fond memories of those little vinyl suits I used to wear to make me look like Hulk Hogan or Keith from the Voltron Force, to the Frau, this is more than a holiday. In her world, this is the holiday that other holidays look forward to.

So, to honor this great day, I present the following tidbits of Halloweenish joy:

• A news article from England: Exorcist Wanted for Library Loo. Apparently, the public library of Gravesend, Kent, is haunted. Said one witness, “There’s definitely a presence.” I'll bet there is.
  
• Ladies, if you want a Halloween costume that keeps on giving the whole year, consider the "Ninja skirt" that lets you disguise yourself as a Coke machine.
• Wired News today featured their "Readers' Coolest Geek-o-Lanterns". Next year, I want a Death Star pumpkin:
• For some more traditional Halloween fun, try this compilation of scary short stories. My only complaint is that there was only one Poe story, and it wasn't The Pit and the Pendulum. (HINT: If you read "Pit", stop one paragraph before the end. Trust me, it's much better that way.)
• Last but not least, since this is a supernatural time of mythical creatures and unholy mysteries, I give you this: various celebrities debating the eternal "Minotaur versus Centaur" question.
  

That's all I've got. Hopefully I'll be back soon, with another thrilling installment of the Daily Marmoset. I'm sure you'll be holding your breath until then.
