Spider eyes

[jethrien]

I helped run a kids' Halloween event yesterday. My table was making spider craft things, but the organizer forgot to give us eyes. I spent most of the (three hour) event frantically cutting out spider eyes, always just two or three eyes ahead of the kids. It was fun, though. Apparently this year's big costume was Iron Man (and Disney princesses for girls, but I feel like that's pretty routine). Also a lot of Toy Story characters.

Frantic Spider Eyes would be a great band name.

I'm still pretty partial to Fancy Pants Parade (say it out loud--it's fun!)

Heee, that IS fun!

I love World/Inferno Friendship Society.

(I totally stole it from a Jonathan Coulton song.)

Any time a reference to "fancy X" comes up, elissali and I tend to jump instantly to "Chances are your X are not as fancy as the pair / Of very fancy X that Mr. Fancy X will wear / When everybody's marching in the Fancy X Parade / He's gonna pass the test / He's gonna be the best / The best in terms of X." If it happens that "X" is, say, five syllables long, it gets a little cumbersome (and obviously scansion gets thrown out the window), but it's still usually funny. For starters, try "Fancy Mixed Nuts".

Pants.

...we totally do this, too.

We also have a tendency to whisper "Hey Mr Fancy X" at each other.

I hope you made one for yourself :)

Actually, I didn't. No time, and then we ran out of eyes. I'm not sure I could have gotten it all the way back to Jersey City without squashing it anyway. And I promise that if I decide I want one, I could make one in my sleep at this point. :)
