Wayne,
They probably meant for that particular day.
Our local TV stations report record highs quite often for that date.

You are correct Roger. The headline was misleading.[opinion] I had to actually read the report to realize it was for, "that day." [I am rolling my eyes at myself, don't take offense.]

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Have a macaroon....

But why would anybody make such a thing? Yeegods. I mean, Gingerbread Men are one thing, but pink, flesh-toned baby faces?!!!

Entertainment value is significant particularly for those that find aspects of the macabre amusing.....

Naw, they go beyond that. That may touch upon the surface of such a thing, but there is something more demented immersed in such a confection. Or maybe I'm just being a dumbass and need to go have a cookie, shut up, and enjoy!

Maybe they would have a more understanding audience on the west/left coast.

I think that Vincent Price would have loved to serve them to guests.

Anyone remember Tom Virgil, aka San, San Diego, etc. I would like him to read this:

ROAD

For years . . . my wish
The clarity of my own image.

I ran as a dark heavy cloud
Needing release
In dampness, as rain,
No longer able to absorb.
As escape, a personal exile,
Vanishing, traveling,
The horizon as self,
The carving highway
as a chisel,
The cry of the wind,
My voice as tearing tears.

In digging deep,
found only my other hand.

The wet dawn releasing a
breath of silent shimmer,
of might . . . and gone.

Vision: the two lines of a circle
At beginning, at end
Always.

1975

5. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
6. Keep secrets.
7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
8. Always accept an outstretched hand.
9. Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
10. Whistle.
11. Avoid sarcastic remarks.
12. Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.

14. Lend only those books you never care to see again.
15. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.

17. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
18. Be romantic.
19. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
20. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
21. Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for our convenience, not the caller’s.

23. Be a good winner.
24. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
25. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

29. Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

31. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.
32. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
33. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.
34. Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you.
35. Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few minutes.
36. Begin each day with some of your favourite music.
37. Once in a while, take the scenic route.
38. Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, ‘Someone who thinks you’re terrific.’
39. Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.
40. Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
41. Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.
42. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
43. Make someone’s day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.
44. Become someone’s hero.

Excellent rules to live by

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Solid.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I readily confess to failing at several.

I do burn bridges, usually while my enemies are standing on them when possible.

I also suspect that waving at the children on a school bus might get you a visit with questions from the local gendarmes

[Tom Dempsey]

All depends on what you're waving.
