The Winners and HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Friday, October 31, 2008 28 Of Your Sparks

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this week of new music. Yesterday I ordered about 10 more CDs from artists whose bios were sitting in my inbox and we will be doing a New Music Friday each week with a chance for one guest to win a CD from each artist featured.


OK, ANNDI and DANA you will each be receiving a copy of the Woodfish EP in the mail in the next week.

TURNBABY and STARR copies of the CD from KaiserCartel are on the way to both of you!

ENJOY.............


BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is my favoritest Holiday OF THE YEAR!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghosts and goblins, witches and warlocks, bats and black cats, blood and gore and scares and haunts...AND Michael Myers...Man I LOVE Michael Myers!

OH...don't play the audio bars...you are warned....
Dooooon't Plaaaay The Auuudddiiioooo Pllllaaaayyyyyerrrrrsssssss

(Did you hear my spooky voice saying that? heheheh)


You Played it didn't you?


My good friend from high school, Rich and I would go see the Halloween movies whenever they came out.

Now, you might not remember, but the first 3 came out on Halloween. (After that they tended to suck...) He and I would dress up...not necessarily as Michael Myers, but in some ghoulish outfits. I even made a stump hand that had a hacksaw blade coming out of it and would push the $5

(yup movies were like $5 back in the olden days - you know , when we walked 10 miles to school up hill each way with only cardboard shoes on our feet...
OK, I am losing track here)


Where the heck was I...

OH YEAH, I would push the hacksaw blade through the $5 bill when we got to the box office and freak the crap out of the person selling tickets. One year I freaked this young girl out so much the manager was called and I had to remove the stump and blade and put it in the car before we were let into the theater...what a buzz kill...OH and we were pretty buzzed when we went...


Yup she sounded like that!



Then when Matt was young I would always try and scare he and his friends... I do have a rule that they must be about 9 or older to really scare though.

When we lived in Massachusetts in the apartment complex, I put on ratty old clothes..stuffed straw in the sleeves..gloves..one of my collection of horror masks and went and stood in a public area. Of course a group came alone (including Matt) and all stood around trying to figure out if it was a person or fake.

Finally, one brave soul came close enough and pushed on my chest. I fell straight backward onto the ground (YEAH IT HURT - but all great pranks involve some pain)...they all laughed saying ..."oh man it is fake.." about 20 seconds later, I began to rise off the ground...

They scattered yelling and screaming like crazy and all I did was...

"bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Speaking of Matt...he sent me a pix via his cell phone of his costume this year...his interpretation of Heath Ledgers "Joker"...damn the boy is a chip off the old block!

But where did he get my hair! (Had to say it before one of you wisea**es did!)



I am planning on dressing tonight and going over to Nancy's house. She knows, but neither of the boys do. I told them I have this stuffed dummy and was planning to set it up out front to hold the candy...hehehehehehe

Last week, Nancy, Peter, some of Peter's friends and another couple and I went into Memphis to a haunted house called Nightshade Manor and it was way cool. For $12 ($10 if you brought two cans of food for the Food Bank), you got a pretty cool scare. Now I love to be scared, so I was laughing the whole time and had three sets of hands gripping my jacket the whole time.


I warned YOU!
