'Tis the Season for Pumpkin Pi(pes)

[Chaukisch]

Bone burns and it smells terrible.

I should've been more specific, I was thinking about stems and mouthpieces in particular.

From what I can understand, they're all donations to science. When I bought my skull in college, an anatomy professor ordered it for me through the college catalog. Not sure how it works now though there are sites that offer them for much, much more than I paid 30 years ago. I'd like to find a scrimshaw artist at some point put an old world map on mine.

That would be awesome!

I quite like my jack-o-lantern:



Not an anatomically correct skull yet no overly cartoon-ish. 50/50 whimsical/scary. Perfect for me.

Still thinking about getting a few of these.

I really like that middle one.

...or even BROBS' mantel

Don't you have to be a vegetable for that?

In BROB's case that could constitute cannibalism.

You can actually legally buy complete skeletons.

Just in case there's none in one's closet!

I take great delight in revealing mine. It keeps visitors away.

Yeah, I here you.
"Oh! I haven't seen so & so in a while, have you?"
"Just take a look in here..."

To think all these years I thought people used that phrase figuratively. I never realized so many people had actual skeletons in their closets.

This post reminded me that the Boris Karloff/Bela Lugosi Victorian resurrectionist body exhumation movie is on TCM today - noticed it last night but was too damn tired to set it up to record and fell asleep, lol. An early turn for Robert Wise who directed some of my favorite movies, and yes, including The Sound Of Music, haha. Thus endeth today's can't miss film update!

I would take being on Chasingember's mantle anyday over being on "former member" Deathemetal's mantle. I would probably get voodoo'd or something just as terrible.

Those little darts of pain you feel from time to time might just be @Chasing Embers ----- "By the pricking of my thumb . . ."

That's the black stuff. You don't mess with that without consequences.

But why?

But why?

Why not?

These creepy cool pipes and talk of darkness made me think of Louis Cyphre and Johnny Angel! Could be tonight’s movie!!!

But why?

Knowledge.
