October 8, 2010

I ordered my ears today. I had to get them online since I couldn't find any at the store.

There. That's quintessentially October. Jar full of eyes. Bag of fingers. Ears you can buy on the internet.

I went to the Halloween store today after work. It was full of all sorts of supposed-to-be-creepy stuff. But no ears. Rather, not the ears I'm looking for. I'm sure they had other ears. Probably on the shelf next to the eyes.

Where did we come up with this stuff? And how did it become associated with October in general and Halloween in particular.

Witches.

More tomorrow...
