9.30.2007 RUDE! mcdonalds_medium.jpg (image) posted by Christopher Null | 6:25 PM 9.28.2007 I've been building out my new website for most of September, finally it's ready to unveil to the world. Drinkhacker is your source for cocktail recipes, plus reviews of wine, beer, spirits, and other barlike diversions. Hope you'll become a regular reader. If you're curious how the 1952 Lafite tasted, well, that report just went live. Now I can say it and mean it: Cheers! Drinkhacker.com | The Essential Blog for the Discriminating Drinker posted by Christopher Null | 1:44 PM 9.26.2007 Last night I had a nightmare that my new floors suddenly got cracked, two days after installation. (I do have some new flooring, but only in one stairwell.) Kinda nutty. I thought my days of home improvement nightmares were over and the era of kid-related nightmares had begun. No? posted by Christopher Null | 8:06 AM 9.23.2007 Marcel Marceau, RIP - Boing Boing Don't miss comment #1. posted by Christopher Null | 10:13 AM 9.20.2007 I'll be on Good Morning America this Sunday. It's on at 7am (8am Central). Check it out. I have no idea whether what I said will be coherent, but it will be about TiVo. Tune in! Edit: Looks like I got cut. :( ABC News: Find Out The Day's News And Weather On GMA posted by Christopher Null | 9:06 PM Robbed! Last night I stupidly left the garage door open (I must have double-hit the button when I left), and since I have the auto-door-shutting system turned off while our stairs are being worked on, the door apparently remained open all night long. This morning, I found three things had been stolen: Two power drills and an electric corkscrew, all of which had been sitting right by the entrance. I feel awful about it, mainly because of the wife and kids situation... but grateful that nothing more was taken (like the laptop I'm writing this on). Still, I have to wonder: Two drills and a corkscrew? They even took the chargers for the drills, but not the instruction manual for the corkscrew. Apparently my circular saw, which had been moved from its normal location, was just too heavy to take along. Kinda nutty is all I'm sayin'. And now I need a new drill. posted by Christopher Null | 1:34 PM 9.17.2007 Wonder what happened with Lucky the Leprechaun over the years... a sampler of things: The Evolution of Sugar Bear posted by Christopher Null | 2:19 PM 9.13.2007 This kind of stuff keeps me awake at night. BTW the CD is over $100. Get it free here...

It seems to be massively popular with people having birthday parties in the area. It is also the place where city kids go to go on a pony ride. They have a ton of them hooked up to a post and they walk around in circles. Your kid can ride for 10 minutes or so for $2.50. One of the other attractions is the "GHOST TRAIN RIDE" (also $2.50 per person), which is actually a small tram that rides on the road through a sort of miniature ghost town on the property. When you get to the end it turns around and goes back. Obviously geared toward kids, I found the trip through the first time so awesome that I made a photo essay of it on the way back. So in case you're not in the Bay Area, you can experience it, sort of, for yourself. Though really, these photos could hardly do it justice. It's just that killer. So, without further ado, let's visit The Least Scary Ghost Town of All Time!  Ghost cow. Get ready.  Not really sure what I'm looking at here. Most of the attractions are puppets or some sort, a combination of stuffed animals, dolls, and mannequins.  Faceless people. Scary! Obviously a discount on sewing dummies. You'll see lots of these.  Haunted gold mine with four-googly-eyed miner! Scary!  Haunted outhouse. My four-year-old daughter that this was the scariest. Maybe it was the giant red sombrero that did it.  Here lies Les More. No Les. No More. Would be funny if I wasn't so scared.  Hard to see, but that's like some kind of giant anime character off to the right. Only haunted.  Scary covered wagon.  More faceless people on a gallows. No noose, though. I guess people got tired of explaining that one to the kids, but didn't have a problem with the zombie on the toilet.  A personal favorite. Smiling skeletal zombie sheriffs, posing for a picture. They remind me of Chip and Dale.  These guys looked cobbled together from the dregs of the costumes on sale at the Halloween shop on November 3rd.  My daughter's obsessed with "brides" and even liked this one. As do I.  The undertaker has no face. His wife does and is two feet taller than him. Rocky marriage, I'm sure.  Another tops. The blacksmith is shoeing a mangy stuffed animal that looks like it's been out in the elements for several years.  Haunted pet wolverine? I'm not sure.  Ye olde saloon, where all the castoffs go to recuperate after a long day of posing for pictures.  Pumpkinhead cowboys? The guy on the right is like a budget Homestar Runner.  Haunted trashcan. BTW U R Doomed. 7.  Put a skeleton on a busted office chair, and put that chair on a fake rock. That is a recipe for SKEEEERY!  Pile of random styrofoam bones. My daughter says, "They're real!"  No refunds? Aw... The hunchback in the foreground is a classic.  The cashier reneged on the offer for the 50-cent bed of nails. Jerk. (Also check out Boo-Berry dude in the back and the guy with the tongue on the left...)  This one's almost genuinely scary. His little pet rat coming out of the hole next to him seals the deal. That and the Christmas lights.  Assay, indeed! posted by Christopher Null | 5:47 PM |
