Eat Poop You Cat

This sounds like a fun game. There is a list of examples, some are hysterical.

Here is an online version: http://www.thesentencegame.com/
This was my attempt at the online version: http://www.thesentencegame.com/view.php?gview=8415
Mine was the first drawing. Hey, it's hard to draw using only the paintbrush program and your finger on a touchpad. It actually seems to work better if you don't try too hard to make a good drawing.

Figure Made of Poultry Netting

Very cool ghost.  I'm thinking it would be wonderful yard art anytime and you could grow vines up it and have a topiary.

Mad Eye Martini

http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodkadrinkrecipes/r/mad_eye_martini.htm
The eyeball is made with a canned lychee stuffed with strawberry or raspberry prserves and a blueberry stuck in the blossom end then skewered with a sword olive pick.  I think I'll make Sarah a non-alchoholic one of these maybe with 7up with a little red food coloring or a bit of the floating preserves.  The eyeball looks pretty effective.  I can get canned Lychees at the big asian market up the street.

Cute Bride of Frankenstein Cake

At How Stuff Works. Cute rather than scary or creepy.
http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/bride-of-frankenstein-recipe.htm
And a Frankenstein Tamale Pie to go with her.
http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/terrifying-tamale-pie-recipe.htm
(We tried the talmale pie, it was good. It turned out cute too but I forgot to take a picture.
Tombstone Brownies. More of an inspiration thing. I'm thinking ditch the frosting and have little skeletal hands reaching out, maybe out of frosting.
http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/tombstone-brownies-recipe.htm
Nutter Butter Mummies. Unfortunately no picture but they sound cute.

Anatomy Arcade

I love this. It's a bunch of games to help you learn anatomy. Poke a muscle is my favorite. It's hysterical, especially when you don't get them all.

Well, it's sort of halloweenish.

Dead Men at Work

It's finally October and I can start posting some of the Halloween things I've been finding. I have lots from other years too. If you type "halloween" into the search feature it will bring them all up, enjoy!

Skeletons dressed as highway construction workers.
These guys would be great if you could animate one with just one arm moving, waving traffic on.
