How to creep out the neighborhood:
I have no idea why they think it's so odd. The days-long soak helps loosen up the crap, and washing it in the rain means I don't have to waste water rinsing it.
One of those things where I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it my way...

Salt? But you're nowhere NEAR the ocean! :-P
Oh, and thanks for reminding me -- I think it's time to go mess up your "Captain Yesterdays Only" thread again.
I take my duties VERY seriously...

You've got to TRY to get frostbite in my part of the world. But the rivers around here . . . . Couldn't tell you how many drunks have met their ends in the Hatchie. I'm not a swimmer, so the river never really appealed to me; if I moved somewhere where winter was real, I'd probably be the first idiot to drown self and snowmobile in some lake or another. While stone-cold sober, likely. A clear, level area covered in snow would remind me of all the fields here, and it'd never occur to me to question, till I was ass-deep in muddy bottom.

Took the kidlet to a Halloween event last night. He finally got to wear his costume. :)
Bow ties are cool!
And then this afternoon we carved pumpkins. Badly, and over a very long period of time. Pumpkin carving is not our talent. Heck, half the time was spent getting the kidlet to stop complaining about how slimy the pumpkin guts were. :P

Funny thing is, that I wrote majority of it first and then found there are certain similarities to an actual div* that spreads sloth: Bushyasta. I changed the name to match it from the initial Freptar (another mythological div that distracts people for which I found no other information) and turned its color from smoky to historical yellow and green, but the long spindly arms were there first. The spider-monkey look, multiple eyes, and mandibles were my own idea.
*Avestian devas/daevas are evil entities, div being their name in Modern Persian, and are the basis for Pathfinder divs. D&D/Pathfinder good devas are based on Indian devas.

5 foot seven last we checked. He's probably grown since then. That seems to keep happening. Probably a side effect of the vast amounts of food he consumes. :P
I used to think people were exaggerating how much a teenage boy can eat...and now I know better. :)

D-daggummit. He's as tall as I am!

Love the Stan Dr. Who(?)* costume, though!
* I'm presuming based off of a closer look and recognizing what I think is a sonic screwdriver?

As I don't watch Dr. Who (shocking, I know), I saw the Fez and jacket and immediately thought Stan of Gravity Falls!
I should have recognized the color scheme not matching... XD
Great costume, though!

+1 the great costume.
Hmmm... If he had a cardboard little car painted blue and decoed like the TARDIS, he could complete the trifecta as 11th Doctor + Grunkle Stan + Shriner.
...Just ignore me.

I'm all up in thegreenteagamer's new game thread, being super-obnoxious with infinite questions...
... sorry, guy! I'm not trying to be, I swear! I'm asking both for myself, but also in case it comes up (as, if we grab more feats later, it likely will, if not with me probably with someone else).
EDIT: for clarity and a line that's honest, but hopefully funny?

NobodysHome, Lawful Stupid Good Samaritan.
I've got a bit of a cold today. I'd call it "mild", but it was bad enough to make me take the day off work, my lungs are a bit burn-y, I get tired really easily, and it's hard to focus.
But... the kids declared this morning that they wanted pumpkins, so I dutifully started walking over to the corner store to get some. At which point I ran into our wonderful gardening neighbor. He's had two strokes and can barely walk, but he sits in his garden all day and does amazing things. He was complaining about the tiny green waste bins in Kensington, and I'd previously pointed out that I'd be happy to let him use our ginmormous bin, which we never more than half-fill.
So of course he chose today to ask for the favor. And I'm not about to say, "No," the very first time he asks, so cue sick NobodysHome carrying a 32-gallon trash can full of green waste a block back to his house, dumping it, bringing the empty can back, then proceeding to the corner store that is sold out of pumpkins.
Being a Good Samaritan -- it'll kill ya, kids!
