phosfateHalloween was mostly teh lam0rz. The candy thing worked out, since we gave away maybe a third of what we bought - enough to make it feel worthwhile, yet keep us in a sugar buzz well through Thanksgiving. We've learned the hard way that buying cheap candy just isn't worth it. A tub full of Necco Wafers is the way to guarantee a massive ice storm and no trick-or-treaters.
Anyway, the whole day was dull until The Haunting came on at 9:00, and OH DEAR JESUS IT WANTS TO KILL US I'm fine now. My God, how many times has this movie been ripped off, and how badly?
A trip to the Ben Franklin store has yielded Valomilk, Big Chew, one of those round things whose name I forget but is made in the Palmer factory up t'Sioux City ways, and SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS! I haven't tried any of the others, but Squirrel Nut Zippers are totally excellent. Hooray for these.

Ben Franklin is what we used to call a Dime Store, like Woolworths or Kresges. Now its money comes mainly from framing and scrapbooking, but ours still maintains its massive candy rack, mutant brandless toys, and things like sanitary belts, hairnets, mousetraps, and garters.
