web-goddess: Halloween is coming!

Friday, September 22, 2006

Other than missing my family, there isn't a lot of stuff that makes me think, "Man, I really wish we lived in the US." But you know what does? HALLOWEEN. I know, I know. You're saying, "Kris, what about your dream of bringing this fine holiday to the Australian people? Don't give up the dream!" And you're right. It's just hard! Especially when I see all the truly awesome Halloween stuff you can get in the States that simply doesn't exist here. To whit: I-Mockery's Ultimate Guide to the Halloween Candy of 2006. That? IS AMAZING. God, I hope Mom is sending me some of that in her care package! (Link courtesy of Bex, who probably didn't mean to bring on such a bout of melancholy and nostalgia, but it's cool.)

I'll be sure to remind mom to get you the spooky cat Peeps! You LOVE Peeps! :)

Btw, I developed an insta-crush on the guy who wrote these reviews, mostly because of this:

"You just got Boo-ed? Boo unto others? Neigh-boo-hood? I don't know about you, but this sounds like a load of Boo-shit to me."

And I also agree with him on the fact that the "Count Wonkula Bloodberry Donut" might be The. Best. Halloween Candy. EVER! I have got to try that!

My other favorites included the "Chef Ghoulicious Box Of Boogers" and the "Tremors Subterranean Sour Sand Worms." (Tremors was SUCH a great movie. Kevin Bacon? Reba McEntire? As Gob would say...COME ON!)
