early costumes

Having Liam two days before Halloween has really amped up my interest in Halloween costumes, since now I can actually purchase and wear one. I've already been intrigued by the Lady Gaga variety coming out for this season, and I'm always drawn to the storybook characters, but how awesome would it be to be Optimus Prime?(http://www.spirithalloween.com/product/optimus-prime-adult-womens-costume/).

Regardless, here are two hilarious new ones for this fall that you KNOW you want to wear.

First, because you KNOW you want to say, "One... Two-hoo-hoo-hoo... Thrrrrreee."

And second, because what better way to go to a bar and get in a fight and kick someone's ass than in this costume.

those delicious young filets of female

I bought Tony these Canterbury Tales trivia type cards at this gift shop in Albuquerque, and I was looking at them this morning when we took the boys to the mall. Here is the best one I've found so far. This is the explanation in plain English on the back of Ye Olde English:

"A knight named January, having turned sixty, decides to wed for the first time. He explains that while he prefers old fish--such as an old pike instead of a young one--he is partial to young women. Yet he does find young veal more tasty than mature beef."

I'm wondering if, at 33, I'm young veal, old beef, old pike, or some missing link in between.
