Hiya Skeleton Crew,
I was finally able to evict that partridge family from my restaurant ... but now I’m behind on my Halloween prep! I gotta get decorations up, plus some bags bags a’ candy for all the trick-’r-treaters. Lots to do!

At the end a’ the movie Ghostbusters it’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man that stomps through New York causin’ all kinds a’ chaos.
It’s a monkey’s paw that’s been cursed to grant wishes in an ironical way in the famous W. W. Jacobs short story.
Both a’ these things mysteeeeeeriously showed up in the shop last night, like’s been happenin’ lately. Lucky for me, the former was just an action figure from the Ghostbusters movie, not like a big monster stompin’ around ’n’ stuff.
An’ I knew better ’n to make any wishes on the monkey’s paw that showed up—I just threw that one in the garbage, to be honest with ya.

Trivia 1
I grabbed this screenshot from the website a’ what retailer?
I’ve been tryin’ to get my phalanges on one a’ these 12-foot skeleton decorations for years now, but ever since they became sorta like an internet meme they always seem to sold out when I try ’n’ buy one!
If ya think I’m jokin’—here, look! If ya put just the number “12” in the search bar on their website, this is what ya get:
Which is just to say: people friggin’ LOVE this skelly!!
Trivia 2
I heard from some kids last year that that insufferable Cap’n Nemo Toad was handin’ out full-size candy bars to the trick-’r-treaters. Full size! Ah jeez, I can’t let that guy show me up!!
So this year I’m thinkin’ I might get a few cases a’ king-size candy bars to hand out. My favorite is what peanuty caramelly nougatty chocolately candy bar that’s for some reason named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter?
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
