Cocoon man!


Yeah, I got this catalog (Grandinroad), and they're shilling a bunch of Halloween stuff. And there he is... Cocoon Man. WTF?!?

Cocoon Man is 5' tall and costs $50. The spider larvae are extra. Pretty intense sitting out on the front porch, eh.

That's a change over my 47 years... people spend so much time and $$$ on each and every holiday these days. Halloweens get bigger every year with Cocoon man and colored lights and flags and blah blah. It's weird. Not into it, I must confess. The Christmas lights go up and down each year, and I'm done. There seems to be correlation between excessive holiday preparations and manically edging your lawn. Definitely not into that.

Or, maybe you'd like a 12' spider web, complete with 19" spiders... Spooky Spiders:


Good lord.
later... yow, bill

PS - Nice qotd, snarfed from my Stock Trader's Almanac and relevant to investing/trading...

QOTD
"Most people can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years. But a winner will stay excited for 20 to 30 years - or as long as it takes to win."
