Skeleton for sale!

Tyrannosaurus baatar, for sale in NYC.

The skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus baatar will be going up for auction in NYC.

Every wanted a skeleton in your living room or back yard?

How about a Tyrannosaur?  Bids start at $850,000 :)

It’s not a T-rex, but a cousin, and even so, it’s a bit out of my range, but you’ve got to admit, it’d be a heck of a conversation piece!

Best. Beer. Bong. Ever.

Skull & Spine Beer Bong from Costume KingdomOk, while I have to fully admit I’m not really much for beer bongs any more, this is, without a doubt, the best one ever.  I would have given a lot more than $11 when I was still in college.

I also really like these zombie costumes below. I want to put one on and hide in some leaves and stuff around, say, easter… And just about the time someone sees the shoe and the bones and screams because they found a dead body, you start moving. :-)

Anyway…  The best holiday of the year has officially passed us by once again, and that means fantastic sales at Halloween stores all over the place.  If you live near one, you know.

Of course, there are always the online Halloween stores, too, and, and, as it happens, there’s this discount code I’ve heard about, through some affiliate networking.

Everything at Costume Kingdom is now on sale, 35% off, if you use the right coupon code: SLASHER35

If I find any others, I’ll let you know.  Here are some of their particularly skeletonny items. :-)

115 years of Skeletons

Google’s specialty logo for today is full of lovely skeletons, celebrating the 115th anniversary of the discovery of x-rays.

I love their specialty logos, and this might just be my favorite yet. :-)
