Halloween 2007: No More Vomiting Pumpkin

Halloween won't be Halloween without Dana and Leslie, who are moving to Sonoma this morning. They'll be back for Halloween next year, though. Got to happen. And we'll always have Vomiting Pumpkin.



Got to keep on keeping on. Last night Queen Duckopatra and The Great Fish Head got their Halloween costumes ready.



But suddenly Sofia Zinfandini got hold of the Duckopatra costume and for a moment became Princess Feeopatra.



Then she settled back into character and became The Good Princess Fee again.



As always, hundreds of children and their parents paraded in front of The Great Plotnik World Headquarters and Meatball Kitchen last night. There were the usual Jedi warriors and skeletons and fairy princesses and witches, but then there were also some very unique pumpkins with webbed feet.



And Little Red Riding Hoods



This Barbie came with a date.



This kid was Joseph Fink, Candy Inspector. What cojones. He took three candies, just to make sure.



Paris Hillbillyton



Pirate Dog



Tinkerbell



Bullwinkle



John the King was Emperor Penguin this year.



Joe and Leslie were...pirates? Gypsies?



Bob carved the World's Second Most Beautiful Pumpkin. Look closely.



The Great Plotnik predicts he will grouse about Halloween again next year, and then love every minute of it once it happens. Remember: by next Halloween there will only be one more week of Bush.

Fabulous photos and that pumpkin on the bottom is a work of art. I love the Cleopatra look too. Almost makes me sorry that are house was dark. Almost.

I bought lots of candy and had a grand total of 7 trick or treaters. The boy thinks this worked out great. We need a picture of you in the hat - that's a great hat. Why didn't you wear it to the ball game?

The Great Plotnik may be the leader of an obscure Western religion, but his wife does not let him out of the house in that fish hat.
