Just for Hallowe'en

Spotted in the counter bin at Michael's recently:



Alas, they were soft and spongy. And I don't mean like the top of a newborn baby's head. I mean soft and spongy like the zucchini that's been in the vegetable bin for too long.

...I really want them, because they are strangely adorable! Like cartoon aliens. I have this mental image of them sitting on either side of my computer, eyeballing each other happily.

Actually, come to think? They're uncannily like the squid-Martians in Calvin & Hobbes! Now I want them even more.

Curse my habit of instant emotional attachment to bizarre nonexistent creatures!

It's been a long day. I looked at them, and thought, "Huh?" And only a moment later thought, "OH! WTF?"

--At Michael's?

...And they're in with the chocolate!

Ooh, ooh, it was on this very day in 1517 that Martin Luther ... uh, didn't actually nail anything anywhere. He sent his 95 Theses to the bishop in a letter.

BUT THAT'S BORING. So, yeah, pound away, Martin. And we'll print the legend.

Those ... things could be stiff, not soft, if they were willie warmers. What were they, really, anyway?

But they don't look soft and spongy. They look like something El would buy to try out on her and her husband's new boy toy Neal.

Just sayin'.

*cough*

Also?

You can do...fun stuff with soft and spongy zucchini.

Or so I'm told.

While I am not sure what exactly they are supposed to be, my guess is an octopus, they are children's toys. They sell something similar in the Dollar Tree by me. Although how a child would actually play with this I don't know.
