"Whoever battles with monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you…”

This was supposed to be satire, not a road map

“Inside, you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king!”

“Sideshow Bob Roberts” first aired October 9, 1994. (Clip features a deleted line!)

The candle on my left belonged to my mother and is 30+ years old.
The witch candle we got before we were married.

Trying to let go of the past.
Especially “seasonal” things that spend more time in a cabinet than they do on display.
A picture takes up less space anyway.

Well, we know now whose pay roll you are on.

The Haunted Manimal @worldofmanimal.bsky.social · 11h

Ughhhh. I knew I should have put that line in there.

The Haunted Manimal @worldofmanimal.bsky.social · 11h

I know it’s not a good movie.
However, the fact that none of my children have ever seen “Batman” makes me feel like a failure.

Disney has 68863 bureaucratic agencies and yet not ONE of them can read the room.

It’s almost intentional dismantling of legacy and goodwill at this point.

Just did a rewatch.
Hits differently as an older man.
And very timely with the ongoing backlash against screens, AI, and social media

A different age to be sure.

These used to be in my classroom.
Then, students would buy them for me, etc.

“‘Dinosaur Dracula?’ Yes, I remember him. Days filled with Hulk hands and midnight trips to TRU to buy RotS toys. And that one perfect night he spent watching the Great Pumpkin. That was a long time ago…but I’ll never forget that promise I made to message him about McPumpkin on BS.”

Guess I will have to use the shuffle since you already destroyed the last remaining Halloween tradition on Earth by rearranging the songs.

“Years ago” 🙄
Not buying it.

Reminds me of these guys.
Never got around to actually buying any.

Maybe for the best.

The Haunted Manimal @worldofmanimal.bsky.social · 2d

And you had to explain to the sobbbing neighborhood kids that Grimace took them back to McDonaldland.
Always the paradigm of goodness.

BTW, you rearranged the songs?!!
I thought we had a deal that nothing ever changes, ever.

(Speak of the devil, was literally going over to the site for the jukebox)

The real McMystery is why I DON’T already have the additional McBoo.
The only thing I can semi-recall is that I broke it or a lid. I don’t McRemember.
