Ladies of Mestew Nation, Halloween Weekend starts exactly a week from today. I’m going to bet that at least half of you have no idea what you’ll be going to that Halloween party dressed as. Thanks to my old friends, Larry and Paul at WGN, this video may give you a few ideas. And Guys, if you can’t appreciate the costumes, I hope you can appreciate the comments.
When I was a kid, I LOVED Nickelodeon’s Super Toy Run. If you’re not familiar with what it was or just don’t remember, kids that watched Nickelodeon could sign up for a random drawing to go on a toy shopping spree. If they picked your name, you had five minutes to run through Toys R Us with a shopping cart and anything you could fit in the cart, you kept. And the coolest part: they taped the whole thing and showed it on Nickelodeon! I remember filling out a postcard every year (because that was the rule) saying I wanted to be in the Super Toy Run and sending it to some address in New York, NY. I always found that odd since it was in Florida. Of course, I was never picked. I also remember watching the kids run through the store and taking their time on what they selected for the cart. Now, I may have been just a kid, but I remember thinking, “c’mon, grab it and go!” Seriously, the kid could have sorted out the G.I. Joes AFTER he got them home, not while he’s killing five precious minutes!
Ah, glory days.
Estew and I had quite a night last night. As you all should know, it was the vice-presidential debate between Smokin’ Joe Biden and Sarah “the Lipstick Dog” Palin. To make the most of this much-awaited event, we decided to turn it into an old fashioned drinking game. After a quick online search for some ground rules (thanks, iReport.com), we were well on our way. After reading the rules, you can only imagine the headaches we’re dealing with this morning… (more…)
Chris Rock may have got it right. He say’s vote for the guy with 1 house because he is most afraid of becoming homeless. Do yourself a favor and take a look/listen at Rock’s segment on CNN’s Larry King Live.
Have a fiscally sound weekend, Nation!
