Halloween Helicopter Drop

Happy Halloween. It's Helicopter Friday and what better helicopter footage than throwing candy from a helicopter to 1,200 ghosts and goblins!

A Flickr set here:

Happy Halloween!

Steven Crowder shows us a glimpse of what it's like to ring the bell at the White House.

Update:

Swanny sent over this video of an actual "Shadow Person" or some Ghost scary thing from the very scary Dudley Town! Ask Dan Ackroyd about Dudleytown. He was just on Coast To Coast, by the way.



Also don't forget this very blog's ghostly New England graveyard encounters, caught on camera.

Again, happy Halloween!

Halloween

UPDATE: Regarding the images...They were taken on a gray day in late afternoon late last week, Friday actually. Click to enlarge. I swear to God that when I took these photos the anomolies WERE NOT THERE. I did not see them!!! No lie!!

That's about all I can say, as for what you see, well, some things defy explanation I suppose.























Well it is Halloween so I wandered through a graveyard snapping photos of who knows what, all at great personal peril. Afternoons are just as perilous, no?

Anyhow look for ghosts, there must be one in there somewhere!!

I felt as if I were being watched!!!!

Bat Season

Well it's certainly Bat time.

Here we see bat grab fish and then fish grab bat. Only one had the meal, though.

Update: We have many challenges on the pathogens front. However we have had victories that have not been celebrated. Halloween always reminds me that, as a chronic rabies bat infected loon, I must count my blessings. The pessimistic news coverage of all things reinforces this notion. This thanks to the fourth estate's system of using ignorant and arrogant chuckleheads to rapidly release poor information quickly if it is negative and to use all else as filler.

Halloween is upon us--

Playing the Banjo

while you're having open brain surgery...creepy enough for this set of Halloween posts. via Althouse:

Halloween Candy

The type you give says something about you, and this is from the Washington Post via Yahoo so it must be true!!!

I voted for the peanut butter cups in the pole and they are kicking the other candie's nougatie butts!!!

Porcupine video

eating a banana. I have my suspicions, it's almost Halloween, this could be a cat in a porcupine costume.

Also Watusi!!!

I was familiar with the dance, but not the crazy looking cattle. You could fit alot of powder in those horns.

A Couple of Moon Shots

for Halloween, they are all similar yet different. On one 'puter screen some look better, etc., so here they are, I hope one looks nice on whatever spooky device you use.

Update: I had finished that post with a colon but then saw that they preceded the text. "Mess" is in the banner for a reason. The ISO on my camera is 800, so I am surprised I had something nice, but I did work at it with a tripod and limited patience. They could not convey how gorgeous that evening with the wind and clarity and swift clouds last week had been, but I printed one up and sent it to PJ who has been bronc' busting and tearin' it up all over for the harvest season!

Halloween Science

Some neat stuff over at SciAm.

Spider

This was a rascally fellow, and he reminded me that Halloween is not far off. His shadow is what I should have snapped.

Skull

Well Halloween is around the corner, so a hundred million is probably not so bad.

Links worth following.

Spider Vs. Bat

A video for those holding on until Halloween.

Happy Halloween

Halloween

This is an actual cell phone photo of a Jack-O-Lantern sent by Mike and Mikey. Mikey carved it...I was told to blow it up. Looks too freaky to be real...I believe they lied and that this was an actual demon they captured on the cell phone camera but were too embarrassed to seek help against...
