"I'm not bad luck!"

Bad luck doesn't exist.

Lemme put some pumpkin goo on your fur...

Helpful tip: Don't use a permanent marker to draw your lines, it's hard to wash off.

"Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on." -River Phoenix

"Only the knife knows what goes on in the heart of a pumpkin." -Simone Schwarz-Bart

"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion." -Henry David Thoreau

"Charlie Brown is such a loser. He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special." -Chris Rock

"There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world." -Jean Baudrillard

It's a miracle no fingers were severed...

"We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean." -Loretta Lynn

The girls sit back and relax.

"Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for halloween everyday." -Gwen Stefani

The finished product.

"If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween." -Doug Coupland

Lifted from Wikipedia and edited: William Wrigley Jr. died January 26, 1932 and his body was interred in his custom-designed sarcophogus near his home on Catalina Island, located in the tower of the island's Wrigley Memorial & Botanical Gardens. But a decade after his death, Wrigley was moved during World War II due to war/security concerns. His original grave memorial marker still adorns the tower site. Wrigley was reinterred in the corridor alcove end of the Sanctuary of Gratitude, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

The view from his vacant mausoleum.

That's Wrigley's house on the top of the hill to the right...

"Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them." -Richard Bach

Busted creating social networking fodder.

Busted creeping them out by creating blog-fodder.

Isolated Child.

This makes me wish I had enough time to create a ride-able narwhal bike.

Lemme get a drag of your cig, I need some more bad breath and lung damage. Oh wait, I mean I want to look cool. Look this guy's even taking my photo - confirming how cool I look smoking.

Man I wish this police officer was tonguing me out.

J-Walking.

Destroying artwork can be cathartic and release endorphins.

The coppers take a woman away for breaking one of the many laws California has on the books. Maybe she was smoking in public.

Dog and car as extension of personality and expression can say alot about you to strangers.

Everybody, look at meeeeeeee! I'm doing stuff. Well, it got me to take 2 photos, and landed you on a website views by a dozen skater kids and (wishful thinking) phototgarphy aficinados. So you win.

The kids love Satan and 666 these days. A new way to be shocking and attract worry from parents I guess. But the logic is flawed. These kids always assume that going to hell means getting to do all the bad stuff you like for eternity, like looking at and fucking naked girls and/or boys, smoking weed, etc. But hell as described in the bible is swimming in lakes of fire and gnashing of teeth. So clearly they don't want to spend eternity in constant torture. Therefore they don't really believe in hell and are just shocking people. Also, in my opinion, the devil is just as ridiculous as the Easter Bunny, the Yeti, and ghosts. Claiming devil worship is basically advertising to all, "Hey, I'm stupid."
