Hello boils and ghouls,
In celebration of the season I’m going to post a few lines a day of a Halloween poem that I am working on, with the whole thing coming to a close on Halloween morning. So, enjoy and don’t forget to check back everyday until Halloween for more.
All Lost Souls, Come Out, Come Out
A skeleton hand
I extend to you
A ghastly invitation
That is bleeding right through
Open the box
Peer inside
A severed finger
To jog the mind
Did you remember
To R.S.V.P.
Or will you rest in peace
In the ossuary?
I hope you’ll attend
In the grimist of fashion
A celebration of sorts
In my haunted mansion
Let the festivities begin…

In Louisiana, a woman traded her two children for $175 in cash and a cockatoo. The mother of the re-gifted children called up the sellers of the bird after stumbling upon their advertisement and a deal was struck. The proud new parents were “unaware of the exact legal requirements for transferring custody of minor children” and nearly received a five-year prison sentence, but in exchange for their testimony against the woman, both sentences were suspended. There is still no word from the cockatoo’s lawyer.

In Los Angeles, the lifeless body of a man sat undisturbed on his patio for four days before somebody finally decided to call the police. Other residents of the apartment complex where the man lived paid no attention to the corpse slumped over in a chair, thinking that it was just another gruesome Halloween decoration. One neighbor stated that he did notice the body of the victim a few days before, his death the result of a self inflicted gunshot wound to the eye, but just passed it off as another Halloween dummy.

Hello Fiends,
The last few days we have been in the process of moving our studio and as we cleared everything away, stumbled upon a box of rare advance cds of “The Greatest Show Unearthed” we had made long before the re-release in stores. These cds are packaged in a cardboard jacket made to look like an old record sleeve and have alternate artwork. The cd itself is also made to look and feel like an old record (grooves and all). These were limited to only a 1000 (of which only one box remains) and come hand numbered on the back cover. The track listing itself is the same as our first release and does not include the song “How To Serve Man” which was later added for re-release in stores. We thought these had entirely sold out, but turns out we had a box tucked away. We are selling these last remaining cds for $9.99 (FREE shipping & handling) and $12.00 if you live outside of the US. Check the bottom of this page for PAYPAL links and all the ordering info.

In Wisconsin, two Goodwill employees were hard at work sorting through donated shoes to get them shelf ready when they came across the ultimate donation, $13,000 dollars in cash tucked away in a yellow envelope. The owner was eventually tracked down using a tax receipt and the discarded money was returned. The woman who came to collect the money said that it belonged to her husband who had habit of stashing cash, a side effect of living through the Great Depression. A small reward was given to the two employees who returned the money.

In Kansas, a former radio executive woke up to some amazing news, he had just won $96,000 from the state lottery, but there was one slight problem that kept him from enjoying the life changing moment. The man was currently on trial for embezzling nearly $88,000 from his former employer American Media. For added irony, the money was embezzled to feed his addiction for scratch-off lottery tickets, the very same tickets that won him the jackpot. All the prize money will be used to pay back his former employer.
