About Me
- Name: Dr. S
- Location: Gambier, Ohio, United States
Annie Dillard could have been writing about me when she said (of herself), "I like the slants of light; I'm a collector." Or Willem de Kooning: "I'm like a slipping glimpser." And don't forget Brenda Ueland: "I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten--happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." But the Beastie Boys might have said it best: "When it comes to panache, I can't be beat." There's a reason I wear a ring that says Badass.

That top photo, with the big pumpkin being eaten by the little ones, is one of the most disturbing Halloween-related images I've ever seen. (It also reminds me of the scene in Book I, canto I of The Faerie Queene, in which the slain Errour is consumed by her children. But maybe that's just me).
word verification: awfxy, which sounds vaguely dirty.
I love that that one strikes you as more disturbing than the one that actually involves A REAL CLEAVER. Which, incidentally, was still in that pumpkin as a certain neighbor of mine sat beside it, giving out candy to neighborhood kiddoes!
One might also see Sin and Death figured in that pumpkin being eaten by the young.
