Have been on pins and needles lately...literally. I was working on my corpse head and the knife blade snapped...through my thumb. I traipsed myself to the doc-in-da-box and got stitches.
It wasn't bad...except for the anesthesia...that HURT LIKE A MUTHA! The nurse brings in a quart Mason jar syringe with a steel turkey baster needle tip on it and says so cheerfully, "It's just going to be a little bug bite." Her 'little bug bite' must have meant sticking my hand into a hornet's nest and flipping them off! My thumb in the picture isn't that size normally, I have slender fingers, that's the quart of fluid she pumped into it! I got feeling back 15 HOURS later this morning!
Before then, I went to the Pig...with the iPhone...
You're welcome.
And WTF does anyone use chicken feet for?! Ms. M tried to dry some in a dehydrator a few years back for a Hallowe'en costume and they never would go rigor mortise, they just kind of turned a gray and rubbery. She threw away the dehydrator after that.
I had to go to Birmingham on some errands today and while driving, I ran across this house...
I hope that they were used to people staring because I stayed there for several minutes just snapping away and admiring their work. Actually I was stalking but we will let that be our little secret.
Happy Hallowe'en Ya'll!

sorry about your near amputation! :(
i love the nightmare before christmas house!!!! <3
wonder what would happen if you boiled the chicken feet down...? then dry them out? hhmm...
Whoa, what a nasty thing to happen! Looks painful!
Didn't know you lived close to Birmingham--was born and raised there myself.
Ouch! Hope the finger is healing well <:O
Neat haunt. And the raw animal feet photos were interesting too. Happy Halloween :D
Yep, Stephanie, I live in Northport which is in Tuscaloosa, just a hop skip and jump from Birmingham!
Lessee Diane, boil the chicken feet down and then dry them out. You would 1. have chicken feet soup 2. a mouth vomit
*shudder* I can only imagine the smell.
Yes, I know where that is. For 8 months I lived in Brent, and worked at Druid City in the OR--back in the 70s!
Smooth move Ex lax!
Happy Halloween!
How'd the weather work out for you?
Yikes! Glad you're okay . . . why does your thumb look like a normal color and the rest of your hand like that of a corpse's?
How appropo' for Mr. Macabre!
I do look sort of corpsy don't I? It's hard to keep a deathly pallor, thank you so much for noticing!
Stephanie, if you lived in Brent, then you undoubtedly remember Twix & Tween! They sell the barbecue sauce by the bottle now and it hasn't changed one iota since the 70's!
OUCH! Hope that's better!
Cool! Very cool, us haunters like stalkers!!:)
Cheers!
