I was searching on something this morning, and a reference to Mariposa County, Arizona, came up. (It's the only county that picks up and migrates to Brazil each fall.)

Okay, Jeremy, I'm intrigued--where else did you see the word "Mariposa"? A pretty word, isn't it? Around here it's a short block of big houses where the residents decorate the hell out of their yards. And you know, I SWEAR blogger has an intelligence at work with the spamwords. I might have to try one of those hanuget chocolates ;-).

And Emerald, uh, mind if I

I love the costume. I can relate to Herr Doktor!

I may have mentioned this before, if so, just tell me to pipe down, but my older brother once made a costume from a suit, a gorilla mask, fur lined gloves, turned inside out, and his briefcase. He wore his glasses under the mask, so they looked glassy.

My son no longer trick or treats and we don't get any, so no yummy candy for us. :( I did have some stuff left over from a previous evening's event, but it was unsatisfying (despite being consumed).

Sometimes simply hiding one's face is all the scary that is needed. I did that last year and it did freak some of my friends out.

Those costumes are quite striking! Thanks for sharing!

I didn't actually have any trick-or-treaters, but I bought a bag of Mounds just in case. : ) Thus I have been doing my best to ignore them sitting on my table since then....

"You have a mustache, you shouldn't be trick-or-treating"

Is that how it works? No wonder Salvador Dali failed to show up at our door, Halloween after Halloween, when I was a kid!

And I'd also like to note that this was the second time I encountered the word Mariposa today—both times as a proper noun, both times in nonbutterfly-related
