Weekly Whimsy

By tigtog on October 26, 2011

This week’s whimsy is brought to you by One Pumpkin To Scare Them All.

A carved Halloween pumpkin with elvish script carved into it

Lord of The Pumpkins

One pumpkin to scare them all
One pumpkin to find them
One pumpkin to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them

I spent my annual pumpkin carving efforts on this little beauty. It was quite hard to get the intricate curves and swirls of the writing carved right, but I still think it’s a pretty epic pumpkin 8D [source]

Please share any bits and pieces you have come across recently that have surprised, delighted, intrigued or otherwise positively engaged you.

NB: the weekly whimsy thread is a stoush-free zone

    “Le Chic, C’est Bleak“: Fashion in 1973. As someone who was in year 11 in 1973 this resonates with me, although our clothes weren’t quite as horrific as this. Plaid shirts, certainly – but acres and acres of plaid, no! it’s a US thing.

    Women adopt Laughing Alone with Salad as a Halloween “costume” (the link explains Laughing Alone with Salad, if you’re unfamiliar with that internet meme.)
