My highly analytical mind needs more specifics.

Get back to your seat on the 'short bus' .
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I get the corn husks from corn I buy at the grocery store. After you peal off the husks you can let them dry in the sun for a while (you can make them fresh but they can sometimes get moldy or the wrapping will be loose when it drys).

There are a couple of ways to tie them up, some are more complicated.

Too bad she couldn't be bothered to hire an actual cinematographer.

I saw an orange fall-themed wreath hung on somebody's door this morning when I went running! It didn't make the 85° feel any cooler, though. :(

'cause most of the kids I meet these days (as opposed to 'back when I was a boy') belong on them.

What a pity. It rained here last night. Some photographic evidence for y'all.

How do you run with that kilt on? :P In 85 degree weather no less...wool and itchy come to mind...not pleasant.

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well
