What I'm Laughing About This Halloween: Part 3

Here's a round-up of my fave Halloween stuff on the Interwebz today:

via Pregnant Chicken
1. Pregnant Chicken's "Pumpkin Birth" postOh. Mah. Gah.  When I got this one on Facebook, the tag line was "I'm sure you were JUST thinking, It might be nice to see some pumpkins giving birth."  My friend Rebekah at Mom-In-A-Million responded with "I'm blind now.  Laughing ... but blind."



2. Illustration of How Costume Companies Devise Their Ideas, by Kablooey on Funny Not Slutty. (I can't offer you a glimpse of the graphic, because that will give it away.)



via Runt of the Web
3. Ten Ridiculously Awesome Jack o' Lanterns on Runt of the Web. These are the pumpkin droids you're looking for.



4. Tips for helping Special Needs kids handle Halloween.   Some clear and simple suggestions from a mom of a 13-year-old on the spectrum.  Need more?  Check out more detailed ideas on having a sensory-friendly Halloween from my friend Hartley Steiner at the SPD Blogger Network.




5. Biggest Debbie Downer of the Day: The FDA, warning us that it's entirely possible to literally overdose on black licorice. Congestive heart failure overdose.  On a more positive note, I'm going to take this information as the FDA's tacit approval for me to go ahead and overdose on Reece's cups instead.



Don't you wish you worked with this ThinkGeek fan? 
Also, don't you wish you worked in an office with a pants-optional dress code?
6. ThinkGeek Halloween awesomeness.  Pics of geektastic costumes and pumpkins sent in by ThinkGeek fans.  Also, don't forget to check out their  Geek o' Lantern templates

I'm off to power through the rest of my Halloween with some afternoon coffee and a few Reese's cups.  Best wishes for a meltdown-free Halloween!

  2. Navin Johnson: "The new phone books are here; the new phone books are here!" That's a Steve Martin quote from The Jerk, because I am a geek. And a grateful one at that; thanks so much for linking to my post on Funny not Slutty.
