Trick or treat!

Trick or treat!In the spirit of Halloween, here’s a flashback to certainly one of the creepiest stories I’ve ever worked on: The Ancient Art of Exorcism. More recently, there’s this ghost story.

  • Here’s LeRoy Standish’s version of the ghost hunting story in Sunday’s Daily Press.
  • Carve online pumpkins. (Source.)
  • Not at all Halloweeny, but frightening in a different way: a database of everyone’s driver’s licenses from around the country. Yes, yours is in there, too.
  • I almost hesitate to pass along these sorts of polls, but here you go. Adults only, please. (Note the page is not safe for work and you’ll probably want to use a Hotmail or GMail address or something to avoid potential future spam.) (Source.)
  • And for treats of an adult nature, check out Tiki Bar TV. (This time, it’s probably work safe, depending on what sort of sense of humor your boss has.) It’s also available as a podcast — hello, Video iPod! — but you can simply watch the Quicktime files on their site. If giggly drunken girls, lounge music and hammy acting are wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

  2. All mischief is Ricean, proto-Ricean or post-Ricean. It is Joe Rice who provides the benchmark by which all mischief is measured.

  3. As for the license picture one – WAY OLD MAN…I expect MUCH greater things from you! For your fake poll – I tried to put your e-mail when it asks for an e-mail address but it glitched out on me. When I put in the obligatory fake e-mail (along with all other bogus info, it finally worked). So here I am TRYING to get it to send it to you (I thought maybe it would provide endless porn e-mail to you) and it turns out it was to go to you anyway. A clear case of “Reverse Trick or Treat Psychology”.

  4. Fred and Rupert will be saddened to hear your love for them is not real.
