Chefgirl commented on Boo!.

I had early-high-schooled aged pals who dressed up and trick or treated...and asked me to join them. I just couldn't. I felt too old.

So I put on my mom's heavy long wool coat and went with them...and was "mom". Stayed at the end of the lane at each house while they went and got their treats. And had a great time. No candy at the end of the night but candy's never really been my thing.

As a kid, though, I lived a block from the Brach family...the ones who manufacture those nougat-fruit gel things, after dinner mints, all the good bridge mix 'n' stuff. And yes, at their house you got a whole BAG of their candy...a pound or more of it. Bless the Brachs!

I've never understood other peoples' fear of rats. I'd totally have this fella as a pet.

Chefgirl commented on Easy Crowd.

I met several kookaburras during a summer (winter?) spent in Australia in my youth and they are still my favorite birds, ever. But they don't really sound like they're laughing. They moan, "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." like an old man. Also, if you're having a typical Aussie BBQ in the bush, this usually involves fire and cooking steaks. Kookaburras will hang out until you give them the fat from your steak and then you can watch them kill it before they eat it.

Read it. Wanted to smack him upside the head when he started drinking himself.

One at the Louvre, I saw a guy painting a replica, but he had extended it on either side and was filling in the extension via his imagination and the original artist's style. T'was pretty cool.

Chefgirl commented on Willfully Obtuse & Gracelessly Rude.

Will & Grace's production team always had ideas of what gay could and shouldn't be. John Barrowman, who has been out of the closet during his entire career, was on a short-list to play Will but was told he seemed "too straight".

Ah, my first double post!

Was also trying to find directions on embedding the link properly but I was afraid the topic would slip down the page before I found a method that worked!
