Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Anyways, have a great rest of the night/morning. 🙂

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Oh, ok. One of my sisters has an odd obssession with Edgar Allan Poe, I bet she could tell me something about that character.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Edgar Allan Poe's literary detective character, who was doing his thing decades before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK No, I don't think so, to whom does the name belong?
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Probably just as well--I was expecting the chat to tell me I've had enough fun for one night by now, anyway. Enjoy!

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Do you recognize the name C. Auguste Dupin?
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I should probably scram now, I have a pair of bracelets to finish by tomorrow, as well as some things to do around the house.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Not sure if it was the exact day, but the is the day that its recognized on.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Was October 31st the actual date Martin Luther banged on the church door? If I ever knew that, I'd managed to forget.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Hercule Poirot, famous detective written by Agatha Christie in 1920, yes he was a bit of a spoilsport about the holiday.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse But nowadays, I guess most families either buy a bag of the pre-cut stuff from the butcher, or heck, maybe they even pull out and dust off the artificial bones from up in the attic, eh?
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Thinking back to my when I was a kid, the whole family would don animal skins, and the whole community would go down to the town square. We'd toss the bones of our slaughtered livestock onto that communal bonfire, and then we'd all dance Sunwise, and then Counter Sunwise. It was a FAMILY thing to do!
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse But I reckon he was being a bit of a spoilsport. Didn't mean the holiday had to be a drag.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK And rather than Halloween, I like to think of October 31st as Reformation Day.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Hercule Poirot...? Now *that's* a name I didn't have on my BB chat bingo card.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yeah, if I recall correctly, Hercule Poirot said that Halloween was a time to stay home and put candles in the window in rememberance of the dead. Or something along those lines.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I could tell trying to tell them about warding off evil and ensuring a bountiful harvest would've been a lost cause.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse No clue it was to protect their innocent spirits from the wretched dead who wander the Earth one night a year to steal souls. 😢
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I asked a few of the little ones if they knew why they dressed up. "To have fun and get candy." Tsk, tsk.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I was surprised at just how big of a deal Halloween is in Japan--it's a weeklong event.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I do understand. While I try not to be a Scrooge about it, I too lament that so many people have lost touch with the true meaning of the holiday.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK And I never thought it was very fair that candycorn only comes around once a year.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK No, we didn't actually go anywhere that year, we just dressed up, and that was about all. Never was a huge fan of halloween really.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Did anyone correctly surmise who you were representing without having to tell them so?
3 hours ago
Warhorse: Of course I wore blue, and I think the only thing I was missing was a cane.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Savvy kiddos would get multiple costumes and circle the same house all night. 👍
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Depending on where in the country you were, trick-or-treating simply might not have been feasible. Out in rural Pennsyltucky, there could be spots where the nearest farmhouse neighbor is a mile or two away.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I dressed up both objects with construction paper, and I think I used flipflops witha red ribbon tied over them for spats.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I think that was one of the only times we ever dressed up for halloween, and we didn't even go trick-or-treating.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Clever. Some of the best Halloween costumes can be MacGyver-ed out of whatever's on hand.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Not at the time, but I did dress up as Scrooge McDuck for halloween once, made the beak out of a plastic Jarritos bottle, and the tophat out of my brother's dressup fedora.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Depending on just how small you were, if your parents were savvy enough to disguise all of you as ducks, you might've eaten for free.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Which means one of us got a third of each half.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I think the only time we got Subway footlongs us younger ones each only got a third because we were smaller back then.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: "We even CUT them in half, into two REGULAR-sized sandwiches before handing them to you... But I guess that wasn't clear enough..."
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse The Subway execs probably feel justified. Seems they were horrified to learn that customers are buying and eating entire foot longs in one sitting, and not, as they assumed, sharing half with another person.
3 hours ago
Warhorse: @GiuseppeK False advertising. Shameful.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't care. But now, so many of my previous calculations are called into question. Many was the time I trusted one of their sandwiches to serve as an impromptu ruler.
3 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Recently it came to my attention that Subway "foot longs" are a lie. They're more like 11".

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I made a four leaf clover bracelet for my mom for her birthday, thankfully I realized it was too small before it was too late and managed to make another one that was slightly longer. She doesn't have large wrists, but I used my own to measure.

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse She's one of my IG followers, so the photo of the finished product will be here first.

GiuseppeK: (My editor is on vacation)
4 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Correction: she's NOT going to get the full final loop.
4 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Made the decision to cut things off a bit early, so she's getting the full loop (small wrists, and don't want to gift her a hula hoop). I'm hoping by the final loop remaining undone, it will further emphasize that she's not done yet, either.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK That's an interesting pattern, what exactly is it?

Warhorse: I am just about finished with an entirely different pattern though: #213216
