It's Almost Time

“It's almost time, kids. The clock is ticking. Be in front of your computers for the Horrorthon, followed by the Big Giveaway this Wednesday evening. Don't miss it. And don't forget to wear your masks. The clock is ticking. It's almost time”.

Publix Rocks

Publix (A major southern grocery chain) is selling these terrific cloth shopping bags. The tag on it says its a trick 'r treat bag, but the material is exactly the same as the cloth grocery bags. So I now have a Jack-o-lantern and Frankenstein shopping bag!

Publix is also making us orange colored bread, so we can make pumpkin shaped sandwiches for our shindig!
"Publix Rocks!"

Thank you Publix!
"Where shopping is a pleasure"

Only seven days until the drawing for my giveaway!

It's All About Participation and Readership

I’ve been planning my giveaway for a couple months now, and the time is finally here to announce it. I know that most people do giveaways to raise the number of followers they have, but I’m going to conduct mine differently. I want to give some gifts to two of my loyal readers, not just someone who signed up to win a contest they happened upon by accident. I didn't even put contest or giveaway in the title of this post. No becoming a follower to be entered, no posting on your blog about my blog for an entry, and no tweeting!


Here’s the skinny on how it will work.
(1) You must already be one of my followers (sounds like I’m a cult leader).

(2) You must have participated on my blog since July 2nd 2009 (I’ll post a list of who qualifies).

(3) You must post a comment here stating that you would like to be entered and answer the “contest questions”.

(4) Winner will be drawn at random on September 30th after 7:00pm EST (hopefully) from entrants who have answered the “contest questions” correctly, or if no one got them all correct, from those who got most of them right (there not that difficult).

(5) Any other rules that I make up for the fun of it or find that I need in order to be fare will apply. By entering this contest you have no rights as it pertains to this contest or said “prizes” or the right to vote in Transylvania or the Land of Oz. “WHEREAS The management cannot be held responsible for any accidents, incidents, loss of property or life or limb. And WHEREAS For damage caused by lightning, earthquakes, floods, fire, frost or frippery of any sort, kind or condition, consequently the undersigned take responsibility.
WHEREAS During the term of this Agreement you will become and remain, at your sole cost and expense and at our request, a member in good standing of any then properly designated labor unions, guilds, or other organizations, as defined and determined under the applicable law, pertaining persons performing services of the type and the character to be performed here and hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the violation of any written agreement executed between us and any such labor union, guild or other organization which may be in effect at the time of the execution of this agreement, and wherever there is any conflict between the provisions of this agreement and any other, the latter shall prevail, but in such event, the provisions of this agreement so affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the events necessary to permit compliance with such payment of any additional compensation it shall be at the minimum that is permitted there under.” What just happened?

To be entered the following questions must be answered;
(1) What state does The Captain live in?

(2) Besides Halloween and Horror Movies, what is The Captain obsessed with lately? (It’s in the tags).

(3) What is the name of The Captain’s beautiful bride?

(4) What is The Captain’s livelihood? (His job)

(5) What was the name of The Captain’s haunt for 2008, or at least what was the theme?

(6) What was the name of The Captain’s haunt for 2007? (It’s the very first blog post I ever did.)

(7) What is The Captain’s favorite holiday?

(8) Bats or Ghosts? (No right or wrong answer.)

And finally the most important part, the bloggers who qualify to enter if they wish to do so;

Gonesh

I first heard of the brand Gonesh over at Pumpkinrot's blog "What's Brewing", and then I received some "Spooky Brew" incense from Mr. Macabre over at Mr. Macabre's Hallowe'en Cerebrations and we got hooked on it. We just received our first shipment of Gonesh incense today in the mail. Great company, great customer service, and were loving all the scents we've burned so far.

Halloween Candies

I ate a whole box of the bats! They have a mild orange flavor, they're just OK. The box I had was perfectly soft. I haven't tried the ghosts yet, but the box says mixed fruit flavors. Found both of these Dots at Michaels up near the registers, I bet Target has them too.

Ahh you gotta love Pop Rocks! These don't taste like pumpkin, actually I don't think they have any real discernable flavor just sweet carbon dioxide goodness. Found the Pop Rocks at the Dollar General in a 3-pack, but saw them at Michaels too.

I found the "Good & Firey" candy that Pumpkin Rot blogged about a few days back. It was a chemically induced mouthful of spicy fruit flavors. The only real standout flavor for me was the sweet and spicy apple which I could have done with just a box of that flavor.

"These are not the pumpkin pots you're looking for. Move along..."

I went back and got a couple little Jack-o-lanterns for myself, and a couple for a little something else that we'll talk about later in September.
