happy halloween!

okay...


one last thing...

i loved halloween as a kid for the spookiness and the costumes and the autumn and the trick-r-treating and the candy...

but another thing i loved--and have thought about a lot this year--were the lead-up candies, the get-ready-halloweeen-is-comin' candies...

the wax candy...











but whatever happened to these...?

these were all the rage when i was a kid. kids would be whistlin' on these all up and down the block. like the wax lips and mustaches, they'd get full of spit and sometimes drip--but that was part of the joy!

i'd do anything for them to bring back the halloween wax whistle...

happy halloween everybody!
smell ya later!

ps--sorry, matt--remember, i broke my camera at your house.
no pictures of the vampire cowboys... : (

I seem to recall that I would feverishly buy various wax lips and fangs because the brand I was into had green dinosaur stickers on the other side of the package...And I had to have them all.
Happy Halloween!

I remember those lips.

Hope everyone had a "Per-Happy Halloween."
