Oh my god I ate to much candy!! If you hear a loud boom and see a chocolate colored cloud it is just me exploding!
Did you go trick or treating, little elf? Or perhaps attend a Halloween party, hmmm?
You gotta try not to explode at home though, that just results in a messy cleanup.
BTW, it looks like *all* those pumpkins are sick from too much candy, except for the little guy in the front left. The pumpkin in the middle in the top row just has that face, like, "kill me now", probably due to sitting next to the pumpkins sitting on either side. That little one is all smug and getting its fill of Schadenfreude, the sweetest candy of all...
PS I knew what schadenfreude meant, but spelling it...not so much.
Okay, fine! Take pleasure in my spelling fail!
Yes I went trick or treating and to a Halloween Party with my friends Jenna and Rob.
Our costumes where very Rabelaisian, so I am glad it was warm out. 
We had a great time and I felt like the pumpkin with the smug look, because of all the people we shocked. 
We where not 
P.S. Hope I spelled Rabelaisian correctly!
I think my chocolate coma is almost over
What does a typical Rabelaisian look like?
A quick Google image search makes me think it's not really an Asian Rebel or so - although it reads almost like this (to me)...
Edit: ...does this term rather come from Rabelais perhaps?
Yes it does KillerGremal, it is a reference to lude, rude and somewhat nasty behavior.
Not
François Rabelais was the author of Gargantua and Pantagruel, which consists of 4 books and is intended primarily as satire but seems to have plenty of goofy elements to it as well. He did write other things as well, but the "Gargantua" books are his most well known. I know I've heard of Rabelais in passing, but I don't think I read any of his work. But I downloaded a copy of the first pants-O-gruel from Project Gutenburg. So, yay, I guess.
The reason Rabelais stuck in my mind for a few days is because last week I happened to be looking up stuff about Gustave Dore, a French artist who illustrated a later edition of the "Gargantua" books.
Dore was a pretty prolific artist and as a kid, I had an old copy of Perrault fairy tales that he illustrated and I wanted to learn more about him. I, the Queen of Clutter unearthed this book fairly recently and only sneezed a dozen times while dusting it off.
Here is one picture from Gargantua.
And another here
There are more Dore illustrations here .
So I guess I did not realize just how prolific Dore was. According to Doreillustrations.com
Damnnn, think of all the dusty books I could dust during that life span!
Kathy I have lots of dusty books that you are welcome to sneeze at. I have been accused of being male by several of my female friends as I am a super bad house keeper.
I must tell my dad and sister about this, so they will stop complaining about my housekeeping. Just the other day I found a letter (unopened) from 2015. Now I don;t feel quite so bad!
Ugh I have to go to sleep, it's like after 3AM here... zzZZZZZzzzzZZZZ
kathy
Have nice dreams
