I think we should all chip in and get Spooky one of these:

I think it costs between twenty and thirty bucks. I came up with the idea, so I'll throw in a nickel. You guys ought to be able to cough up the rest.

Im a smoker, what I cough up you don't want

We'll just take what you cough up and sell it on Ebay as a Phlegm Jesus, like the Jesus in the toasted cheese sandwich. The proceeds will pay your share of Spooky's gift, after Meg Whitman takes her cut, and I get my ten percent for coming up with the idea, of course.

Don't say that name.

The political commercials are flying fast and furious around the local airwaves.

*cough-cough-cough!*

Only because he cares so much.

I love Traditions ... it's my favorite! I kept meaning to post info here, but never did. Besides Halloween, they sell great decorations for all holidays. I've gotten ideas from their site. I love the hand-sewn felt Halloween pillows. So I decided to take a stab at making a couple. They turned out great ... everything was hand-sewn. One is of a ghost on black felt with the word "BOO!" in big orange felt letters. The other, also a black felt background, is of a black cat dressed up going trick-or-treating, with a full moon in back of it, in a graveyard. I like looking at stuff, espcially things that are expensive, and seeing if I can make it myself cheaper. If I bought the pillows I made, I'd have paid $25 to $35 per pillow. I'm going to have to post pictures of them.

That is the mark of a true shopper right there. It's crazy the mark-up on most things in retail.
There's probably 50 cents worth of injected foam in a pair of Crocs shoes and they go for $40.00.

They definitely have a lot of cool stuff. I really appreciate all the vintage Halloween decor, some of which looks creepier than a lot of the modern decorations.
But there does seem to be a couple of down falls, the site isn't easy to navigate. If you're looking for a specific item, you have to scroll down quite a bit. I prefer to just click a few times to find something rather than scrolling through the whole lot.
It's also quite pricey.
But then again if you have the time and the money, some of that stuff would look great in a Halloween display.
