Well. I managed not to post yesterday about receiving a very timely and handsome Happy Halloween card, so thank you topaz119.

It's funny, I have mixed feelings about Halloween—I love it as an excuse for costumes and carved pumpkins, and though I seldom do these things myself, I like to see what other people come up with. However, now that my children are no longer of an age to do it, I've definitely gone off trick-or-treating. I think we managed to import the American custom without the rules, and it risks ending up as 'Gimme stuff or I'll egg your house'.

I prefer the Scottish custom of 'guising', where the kids must earn their treats. Heh—I do this with carol singers, too. Random children who turn up on my doorstep and mumble a couple of lines of We wish you a Merry Christmas and hold out their hands are required to sing an actual carol before I dispense the cash.

Oddly, they do not return. And yet, there must be *some* children around who can sing.

And finally,



I'm kinda taken with this. I think it must be the eyeliner. I hope it's not the fact that he looks like a stubbly kid...

Huh! Is he a parody of an Emo Kid?

I don't think I watch enough kid's tv!

I have no idea what the costume is, but it's kind of adorable :D

Wow, Lance! I agree, somehow, between the wig and the eyebrows and the gloves and the general Lanceosity, it's... working for him. *is baffled but intrigued*

Well isn't that something.

I love the eyeliner, but am baffled about what he's supposed to be.

*ding!*

I think someone suggested an obscure animé character... *shrugs, also baffled*

Always a fan of Lance in makeup, but equally perplexed about who this is........maybe I'll show my twelve year old and see if he knows??
