Great Post!
Yes I had to do the cheap costume thing too. It was always a bummer because the other kids got home made authentic looking costumes. So now as an adult yep you guessed it I have a major costume fetish. Thanks Mom! LOL Hubby says thanks too!

Nice picture! Yeah, you know who else were perverse? Those people who gave you toothbrushes! One halloween I built an aztec city out of those rocket candies that I collected... Fun times.

I hope you really enjoy it. I remember liking it a lot. I think the books even get better as you go through the trilogy. You don't even necessarily have to believe the plot to get something out of it, in my humble o. It's along the lines of Richard Bach novels -- another one of my favorite authors. I'm a little strange... no, I'm a lot strange, but you knew that. Enjoy!

I was the lion from the Wizard of Oz in my first grade play -- I'm not lyin'. My story isn't as gory as yours, though. You had that same "show must go on" mentality, however. I'm thinking your costume was much more effective with the addition of real blood. You were the envy of all Halloweeners

aw, shucks... what do you say you meet me down by the schoolyard and we partake in some obscene scenes, the likes of which have never been seen? Flatulence will get you everywhere.

You know what else? Grandmothers tend to give that 900-year-old Taffy that tastes like toe fungus. I would have preferred to be saved via Halloween surprise. It would have been spooky to be surprised by religious artifacts on those ominous occasions.

Thank you. I wish I had more of these pictures hanging around. There in some scrapbook somewhere around the house I'm sure, but my hard drive has no other photos of mini me available :-(
thanks for the kind words.

So you like the bowl-cut, eh? Maybe I'll go retro. Honestly don't know what I was thinking in this picture. I was a pampered (ha ha) celebrity back in those days, so that probably explains the prima donna expression on my face. No canaries were harmed in the making of this picture :-)

Cunning...of course I was flirting with you. Would you have it any other
way, my luv-luv-luv? Wanted to tell you that
Conversations With God, book 1, came in the mail yesterday. If I had your phone number, I'd have called you and told you shortly after opening the package. I'm so excited to start reading it! It's a lovely day outside so as soon as I get some things taken care of inside the house I'm making a pot of coffee and going to go wrap up in a blanket on the front porch and start reading it. I'm so glad you mentioned it!

You were a cute kid but you don't look pleased about having your picture taken! My favorite costume was a lion one (the cheap kind you mentioned.) My sister was about to hit me and I backed up on to a piece of newspaper on the carpet and slipped, busting my head open on a marble table. I had to go to the ER and get some stitches in my head, but I still went trick-or-treating after. Couldn't miss it. There was blood all down my costume when I went. It was very macabre.

SWEET BABY CUNNING... It was FLATULATION...I know...and FLATULATION TURNED TO LOVE !!! Awww D'Little D, why you have to be so cute?

If baby cunning had gone to see my mama, she would have seriously traumatized the little rascal - assuming you weren't un-rascally - that would be demeaning. Yup, popcorn (sometimes with butter) with anti-anti-christ-for-christ messages. Yup - unsavoury things like "Be kind to your neighbour" - Romans XXX notes hidden deftly between your kernels. Twisted enough to be made up I know - but honest as my grampa's farts on sunday.

Aw--look at baby Cunning in his bomber jacket! Him's so cute.
Okay--enough baby talk. I'm about to hurl.
You're still a looker--men get better looking as they get older you know. I hate you guys.

Cunning,
I think it is less conspicuous to be wearing a mask than a full get-up. Pun unintended. :)

What a cutie! Love the hair....and you do look like the cat who swallowed the canary...or when my daschund swallowed my white mouse...or had almost completed the task and just had the white tail hanging out of the corner of her mouth, trying to look all innocent....yeah, that's what you look like....are your eyes bright blue? What are you thinking there?

Cunning...you look like you just swallowed the cat's canary in the photo.
I have properly document that you were the first wheel chair bound Superman. I'm wondering if maybe this year you should go as Wonderwoman? I fancy you in stars and stripes. I also imagine you to be quite good with a golden lasso. Then again, you'd make a great Cowboy who wears a speedo and spurs. Do send photos, love! I'll tape them to my bedpost!

just imagine a hunk of plastic over that face with two holes cut out for eyes. The costume probably cost 3 dollars.
