The post-Halloween freak show hits the area with the vengeance of a thousand or more zombies — who were clamoring at the door but could not get into the later Tuesday polling places

People got their freak on well after Halloween had officially closed its doors leading to hell:

— On the weekend after Halloween, there still was dressed up with a zombie-ish white face — which after all is topical in the news — and after that fact also having pale vampire appeal. It turned out to simply be sporting lots of makeup. And then there was in red-face the silliest looking devil you could imagine, far from frightening.
— Dick’s billed its Halloween party as the “freakiest” show in town. Then up the hill at Lucky’s, which is becoming known for its holiday sales blowouts, one of those specials has been Freakshow cabernet and red blend. It sports on the label a circus sideshow worker, much like some of the costumes to be seen at Dick’s. Others on Wednesday for Halloween itself were based on the fixations of freaky and still cool hairpieces and colorings, and at the end of the night, the workers from a competing bar who closed just in time for last call, and both came over sporting knee-high white socks with blue circular trim. Two of those servers are Kendall and Alex, oddly enough the name when combined, minus a bad vowel or two, of Alix Kendell, the metro TV weather women. (Is that a weird term or what?) And even weirder is the role of my new friend Jennifer, who I might call a wing women.
— No, that’s not batman buying cigs, as the late night clerk suggested, rather Darth Vader, and to boot he still gets IDed to prove his name. But even with that big ‘ol mask, the clerk said, I do recognize you. But I do have to card extraterrestrials.
— What, are some of those white lumps recently stuck in the tree crevice the knobs of bones from my Halloween yard display, or wait, on closer inspection they are actually the circular shapes of mushroom heads.
— And with that said, what did I do on my roof this year to scare trick or treaters with moving props, myself being one of them, to be different from other years. This time I had, from various satellite dishes from cable companies whose bills are scarier then their equipment, three flying saucers threatening to slice me in two, as I screamed at the kiddies. And one of my three helpers this year had three sets of all kinds of different hand tools with which to craft bird houses in spring and monsters in fall.
— Not to joke concerning the mentally handicapped, hey its been argued I am there myself, but this is post-Halloween and lets just have some scary fun and not all take each other so seriously.
So zombies take notice — as far as the late night ad specifying the main warning sign of dementia, it is … uh, well, dementia. But more on the idea that good things (or bad) come in threes, there are these examples: (1) Above the main bar area of the Village Inn, there are three (count ’em) three, ghosts hanging from the ceiling rail, which itself was looking much like the bar rail below. (2) On that theme, a on late night, gee where am I driving foray through a residential area, there were three monsters hanging from trees on a small lot that simply didn’t have room for any more. (3) Lastly, threes ruled the roost for events at Kozy Korner, at all times of the day or night. Friday night there was a fish fry, Saturday morning a Badger game, and then Sunday evening the Packers.

A door on the side of a downtown conglomerate of stores, the front not back door, has a sign telling delivery drivers to deposit items in back — but the sign is flipped upside down since the tape slipped. A blipped language I don’t speak. But that’s not the only thing that’s flipped in the downtown. Lots of stores are either open as we speak, or will be soon.

An elderly mom got an early Mother’s Day gift, courtesy of three entities who gave: Her a condo made-a stone-a, AT&T and a muddy spring. All combined to take her request for a properly drained stretch of slight ponding, a size of a grown corn stalk and about 30 feet long, between her walkout patio and the edge of the condo association land, where she has planted a few small sets of flowers at which to gaze as she passes away the last of her days, which one hopes are still many and not spent in a daze.

The Wild in their series with The Aves, have generated more cuss words then goals — although there have been quite a few of those too — from those fans watching in Hudson sports bars.

Maybe less of a bust for beer sales. Shit, my team is falling behind further, so yes, I’ll take another. The nets are burning from pucks ripping through, just like your...

The Wolves ran away with another one in their first postseason series, ratcheting up a third win in their fourth game, but it was not without flareups that literally stopped the clock, temporarily, as seen at two different Hudson sports bars. First, it was near the end of the third quarter and the T-Wolves had built a lead by a bit more than a three, which they would extend to several groups of cheering fans by the time there was a second or two left, and that would quickly become the problem. The game with Denver was on ABC/ESPN, and...
