Lemming, party of one.

(I always want to say “Blastoise” as a French word.)

I guess this is for Tummy Tuesday?

WFH called for a quick break outside. Cloudless, crisp, colourful.
Bearded Black man: he wears a black hoodie and green flat cap. Behind him are a run of trees along a road running perpendicular to him. Some of the trees are past peak but still shaded in gold hues.

Not as old as Stockard Channing in this title card, but I know nothing.
A drawing of actor Stockard Channing (as Rizzo) from the movie “Grease”. She is depicted as peering from a mirror while wearing a black jacket. The drawing depicts her as older than her actual age as well as the character age.

November. Blessed be. 🍁 🕯️
An autumn scape on an urban street. The trees sport leaves of gold and orange as fallen leaves are still colourful. Text added to the image has the phrase in two lines: “Happy Birthday, Sam Hain” It is a miskerning of the word “Samhain” (sow-in), the Celtic (Gaelic) word describing the marker of the beginning of the “darker half” of the year and the coming of winter.

*taps the sign*
Two stills from The Simpsons, both from the same episode and both altered: Top still shows a card reading “Lionel Hutz, Esq.” with the phrases in three lines: “Works on celibacy / No Nut November” Bottom still shows same card with red punctuation added to change the reading and meaning: “Works on celibacy? No, Nut November!”

Fanciful Candies Friday. #fcf

I have set out offerings of four sweets per bag. Hoping this is sufficient.

(I made 40 of these.)
A shag carpet of yellow, orange, and green. Atop it is a clear lucite bag with a haunted house in black with orange windows and a backing of white icons in a Halloween motif. At each edge are four American sweets in packaging: Sour Patch gummies, Kit-Kat chocolate-covered wafers, Skittles coloured tablets, Dum-Dum lolly.

Last year I gave out sweet to neighbourhood children and I put them in coloured cellophane Ziplock bags. Couldn’t find any this year to save my life.

This year I ordered these smaller bags with festive designs. I will divy the sweets tonight and be ready for tomorrow.
Bearded Black man: he wears a red plush robe and half his face is shown. He holds a clear plastic bag with a design on it: different Halloween images are festooned in white with a black cauldron (with side handles) at centre and green bubbling liquid overflowing. The words on the cauldron say “witch’s brew” in whimsical lettering in orange. Behind him is a wall with a framed landscape print.

Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as Peter Parker and Mary Jane. She is vehemently defending him with a determined face as he stands with dipped eyes and a sheepish and shocked face. They are on a street. The text above them reads: “He said want Spidey cum to approximate webslinging!”

Birth country: probably the modern hamburger with fixings. 🇺🇸

Familial country: definitely ackee and saltfish. 🇯🇲
Via “My Forking Life”: a display of ackee and saltfish, spread on a ceramic plate. Ackee is a pod fruit of the soapberry family, whose innards are tripartite and in fleshy yellow bulbs, with a black stone at the end. It is treated as a vegetable. Saltfish is usually salted cod or stockfish, rehydrated and soaked/desalted before cooking. This display above features bits of onion, tomato, black pepper, allspice. Visible in the photo is a whole scotch bonnet pepper, and partly visible are baked “dumplings” (a dense baked roll).

For the final Hump Day of Jocktober, the extras I hadn’t posted before.

For the few of you out there that enjoy these.
Bearded Black man: a selection of five photos of him from behind or 3/4 back — he wears jockstraps in all of them in different colours: powder blue, canary yellow, olive green, pink, bright green. He is wearing a top in three of them.
