I loved those netted bags of gold foil wrapped chocolate "coins" when I was a kid, so I thought I'd stock up on those this year to hand out for Halloween. While it's nowhere near as fraught with idiocy as ordering online while drunk, I'm afraid my stoned ass didn't think things through very well. That package will probably sit on the porch in 90 degree afternoon heat until I get home later at night. It'll probably turn into a solid chocolate-and-gold-foil glob of garbage.

Well if you're not too drunk next time, have it sent to your P.O. Box. My post office is air conditioned, and I assume one in Florida would be too...

Unfortunately not an option for the outfit I'm ordering. But nice work-around otherwise!

Speaking of, I was completely unaware of the Jewish connection with those chocolate coins until they appeared last week and I noticed the Hanukkah menorah. Ha!
But the reason I'm posting in this thread tonight is - I'm really excited about these strong, clear suction cups with hooks that just arrived. I think they'll do nicely for hanging some of my giant insect collection on my windows for Halloween decorations. Backlit by just normal room light, they create creepy silhouettes.

https://www.reddit.com/r/halloween/comments/wxwwxm/i_havent_quite_figured_out_the_question_but_i/ Dunno if my collection is that large, but I have a whole skull herd here, too. I forget which out let it was, but they had them for about $7-a-piece (and with detachable jaws, no less!).

Yeah, I watched some awful metal video a while back (by some band I was completely unfamiliar with) where they had skulls all over the dang set, in amongst twigs and moss and shit, and had hopes I could pull off something similar last year on the walkway up to the house. I thought it came out pretty cool, but nothing like the metal video. I probably had upwards of 30-40 skulls out there...and I didn't even use all of the ones I had available!

The Spirit Halloween opened today right down the street from work. Looking forward to popping in before work sometime this week.

Yeah, I don't know how they work out which ones open when. There were area (a fairly wide area from here to Mobile to the West, and Panama City to the East) Spirit Halloweens open a week or two ago. There's still a couple that haven't opened in that same wide area. Some one posted to a friend's FaceBook that the just opened one here doesn't have everything up and in place yet, anywho. I'm sure they will by the time I make it in there.

There appears to be one not too far from here. You should pop in! The Spirit here was in the same old Staples building for years, and only this year moved across town near my job.
This probably (definitely) makes me a vapid consumer whore, but when the Spirit opens, it feels like the unofficial start of Halloween season for me. I'll go all around (Michael's/Lowe's/Home Depot/etc) checking out all the new grue out for 2022, though.

Is that what happens when the human centipede has a baby?
