Happy All-Hallows Eve

A couple of cheesy jokes courtesy of my very punny hubby:
What kind of cheese does Frankenstein like?
Monsterella
What kind of cheese does the pumpkin like?
Montery Jackolantern

















We lit our pumpkins last night so I could post the pictures today. Brent left them lit for a couple of hours because it seemed like after all the work of carving them, it's a shame to only have them lit for a short time one night. Then we noticed the people across the street had lit their pumpkins, too. Wouldn't it be cool if everyone put out lit jackolanterns on their porches for several days so you could go driving around looking at candlelit pumpkins--kind of like Christmas time lights. Except this is something hand made. I'm all for more crafty and less commercial. It would be a nice alternative to all the ghoulishness that's everywhere now for Halloween.
















And you may have seen this one:
A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears

BUMP...

BUMP...

BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP...

BUMP...

BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER...

FASTER...

BUMP...

BUMP...

He runs to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through the door with the lid of the casket clapping.

clappity-BUMP...

clappity-BUMP...

It is very close on his heels as the terrified man runs.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. He heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud crash the casket breaks down the door
bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches toward something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...it breaks and splatters all over the place.

and...




THE COFFIN STOPS!

Oh MY Rena... What silly jokes! :) I must tell Dave, he is the King of cheesey, bad silly jokes!
I love your pumpkins and agree that they should be lit during Halloween week! We hate the ghoulish stuff too! It's just gross.
