Happy Halloween
Gadzooks, it's that time of year again. I rather like Halloween...when I was a kid, we were allowed to go around our neighborhood, where we knew everybody, and got some AMAZING loot. As we got older, it got a little more impersonal. But what the heck, it's still fun to get dressed up and eat candy.
I don't really get too many kids anymore, we live in the Historical district, and there aren't a lot of children. Which means of course, that I get to eat all the leftover candy! While there is nothing wrong with the big kids and adults getting dressed up and having parties, I do think that there is something wrong with giving out candy to someone who has to shave, and has car keys. My seventeen year old daughter however, has the CUTEST Supergirl costume this year! Fortunately it's NOT the midriff-baring one, but the old-fashioned one. Thank Goodness!
I've been trying to think of the scariest picture that I can come up with in honor of Halloween, and I do believe that this may fit the bill...
That of course is Dementor, the mutant Vuldarian half-breed monster thingie that was living in Guy's head...sort've...back in the old Warrior days. Gosh, I miss that book. It was just insane, but a lot of fun. AND, we have Guy's butt, which is always a bonus in my book.
So...have a happy and safe Halloween. The only problem is that by tomorrow, all the Christmas decorations will be up at the mall and the grocery store.
*sigh*

Wow. That is a scary pic!
Although, I think that's an outfit that Guy should wear more often.
I wish Halloween was a bigger event in the UK. Instead, we get the stores focusing on xmas stuff already. Bah.
halloweeen is much better.
I've always wondered about Dementor's red hair. Does that mean that the Vuldarians are supposed to be redheads, or that the Vuldarians who mated with humans were just attracted to human redheads and thus fathered little redheaded half-breeds?
Also, does this mean that Guy's mom could potentially trigger her latent Vuldarian genes and start morphing her arms into giant cannons? Could she become Warriormom? (Assuming she didn't, y'know, blow up when Warriors did. I'd really love to see an explanation. Maybe she was out being an annoying old lady to the poor cashiers at Wal-Mart when Guy exploded.)
And you know, assuming they haven't really re-retconned Guy's Vuldarian origin retcon into some sort of virus (I haven't seen any writer but Chaykin even mention it at all, so I'm not sure where Johns/Tomasi stand on this issue), that would be a convenient way to bring back Mace. Somebody kidnapped his body and spanked his Vuldarian genes to life!
Either way, I hope none of the Gardners have the potential to make their body hair do... that.
Yeah, Dementor is pretty disgusting. He was a lot of fun however.
I always DID wonder what happened to Guy's mom. She's much to mean to just up and die, so she was probably in Florida visiting her sister or in Atlantic City at a casino or something. Or, as you say, harassing the clerks at Wal-Mart.
I never quite agreed with Guy's greatest fear being his Dad. I always just assumed that his greatest fear, was his Mom moving in with him again.
Maybe the next time Hal comes up jobless (and we know he will, 'cause he's terrible at keeping them), he'll need a roommate to help split the rent, and Guy will convince his mom to move in with Hal instead.
It would be poetic justice, really. Except that then they'd probably both be hitting Guy up for loans to pay the rent. :(
G'NORT! That's the sound I just made while drinking tea, and snorting it out my nose after reading your suggestion.
It was quite painful, but still awfully funny, so it was worth it.
