Costume suggestion of the day:

largest organ grinder monkey in history

My Organ Grinder Story:  Back when I first moved to Boston and lived in the Back Bay I would wake up every weekend morning to odd music I figured was coming from another apartment around us.  It didn't take long to find out that the source was an organ grinder playing in the center of my street, an ACTUAL organ grinder and his monkey!  Naturally this was major excitement so I threw on clothes and ran to the street to be part of the fun.  I was greeted by the grinder screaming at me to stay on the sidewalk (he was in the middle of the street).  I was smiling and waving my dollar bill (hey, it was 1966 and this was a damn good tip!), he was surly and mean and his monkey was snarling.  I went back inside and never again went out to see him play.)  Since then I mistrust all monkeys.  And Organ Grinders.  

In Other News,  Here's a start for your Christmas decorative planning from Cleo Dee over on etsy.

Yes folks, a Squid-Nativity.  Who even know that squid were Christians?  Or perhaps they are just playing the part- we'll never know.  Check out the Squid-Angel and the teensy swaddled Squid-Babe.  A Rumpa Pah Pummmm.  (Don't you think the green one, second from right, looks like Homer Simpson?)

OK, so after all the excitement yesterday here about this:

The Offending Quadrant

I decided to post the Bad Version.  Imagine, if you will this thing being actually 4 pieces-  that bottom right piece is upside down so no matter what you do to it, it won't read.  It ain't my value system at all, my faith in QR coding is restored.  And now I'm going to make a hundred more of these to order in any personal color scheme with any message you want!  Like hell I will.  First I gotta go find something to back it with, forget the other idea about printing off more QR codes.  I'm through.  Hmmm, I think I have a name for this thing now:  Offensive Quadrant!  Yup, there I go.
