I don't get much time to just play around online but this weekend I stumbled upon a fun little diversion and thought I would share it here.

If you haven't happened upon it yet - M&M's introducted a dark chocolate version a while back and is advertising them with a game. 50 dark movies are hidden in the "painting". No need to be a movie expert (I'm not). My time was 3 minutes and 48+ seconds but I paused the game to think so it actually took me several breaks over several hours. Enjoy!

P.S. Click the "painting" for the game. Click the lamp to see what the M&Ms are up to.

Some of you may recall in the December Mad Lab we had a fun little Creepy Christmas Contest where the object was to take the clues given and guess what the item was. The result was a huge number of postings with pics of really cool haunted finds.

Several of us thought this would be a great idea for a group. So - we bring to you Fiendish  Finds. A library of ghoulish goodies. The group is moderated by ckonczey, susan, tamshiding and jekyllandhyde.

Come on over and show us your fiendish finds!

 

Rules:

• Each player of this game starts with 7 weird things/habits about you.
  
• "People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own" 7 weird things/habits. As well as state the rules clearly.
  
• At the end, You need to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "You're Tagged" and tell them to read your blog.

Seven weird things about me are: 

7.  I drink over a gallon of Luzianne tea every day.

6.  Flies gross me out.

5.  I can't sit still. I always have to be doing something.

4.  I have a "soft spot" for bats.

3.  I used to work for a cemetery.

2.  I once fell into a coffin that had a recently deceased within it.

1.  I've had several dreams about celebrities and people I don't personally know only to wake up and find out that they had died. (This creeps out my mother.)

I've been a Halloween addict ever since I was a child. Fortunately for me, my parents were very creative and I think they got into it as much as I did. We always had home made costumes constructed out of the strangest things. I remember this one year I wanted to be a robot (not a hot costume in 2007 but back then it was cool). My parents rustled up a large box and painted it silver. They added a smaller box on top for a head. My robot arms and legs were made with dryer vent hose also painted silver. Then we glued all sorts of things to the box - gauges, toy parts, those little plastic pieces from Light Bright, etc. It was so cool! (Believe it or not, I'm a pack rat and I still have this costume.)

I attended a small school and every year they had a Halloween parade and a costume contest. I won every year (see, is it any wonder that I am the way I am?). A lot of school's don't do this anymore. My own children don't even get to dress up for Halloween at school. Unfortunately, Halloween has been pushed aside in the name of political correctness. What a shame (and another topic for another time).

Another fond memory I have of Halloween as a child was trick or treating. I grew up in the country so when it came time to go door to door my parents would pack us into the car and drive us from house to house. It became a real challenge when you had a bulky costume like a robot but they always made it happen.

It won't be long and the leaves will start to turn and the smell of Autumn will be in the air. I can't wait!
