FASCINATING: I was just reading more about Savannah and came across the mention of Haint Blue porches. Being one of those people that look up things when they don't know about them; it turns out that the Haints are restless spirits of the dead who have not moved on from the physical world. They exist as non-physical in the space between our dimenson and what is beyond. This type of spirit is not the über friendly sort and you don't want them hanging around.
What does Haint Blue do? Haint Blue is meant to look like water and keep the Haints out of your house making you safe from their influence. Speculation has it that the tints, tones, and shades from the blue-green to blue-violet part of the visible spectrum fools the Haints. Haints can not cross water. Using Haint Blue on doors, shutters, window trim, ceilings, the whole darn structure, can fool Haints and discourage them from "crossing" into your house.
Perhaps this lends to the credo that Savannah is the most haunted city in America and Haint Blue is needed!
When we were in Greece and Turkey, there were blue evil eyes made of glass over the entrance to each house and store. There was also jewelry made of the same design. As t story goes, they help to fend off evil and occasionally they crack or break, which means they worked!
IT'S JUST NOT MY DAY ! ! ! ! !
There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't thinkyou'd CRY. I can`t standto see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure.
I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking
lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my
wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with the gardener and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all,
I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve;
then you, you jack-ass, show up and drink the whole thing!
But enough about me, how's your day going?"
Duct Tape Halloween Costume Ideas
Duct tape a small child or midget to your back and go as a hunch-
backed-two-headed guy. (If you can't locate a child or midget,
decapitate a department store mannequin, duct tape its head to
your shoulder, and go as 'The Thing with Two Heads')
Modern Metallic Mummy: cover yourself head to toe in duct tape
and speak in inaudible groans. Feeling old fashioned? Go with
white duct tape.
Wizard of Oz Tin Man: Simply follow the instructions for the
mummy costume but don't duct tape over your face. Instead, put a
funnel on top of your head and carry around a duct tape covered
oil can and axe.
Duct Tape Man: Use duct tape to fashion a mask and cape, cover an
old pair of tights (or long johns) with duct tape for the pants,
make a big duct tape D on the front of your shirt, and break the
ice with other party goers by sticking a swatch of duct tape on
everyone you meet!
The Human Shower: Don a raincoat, then use an old broomstick to
help duct tape a Hula-Hoop over your head. Add shower head and
shower curtain to the Hula-Hoop.
Wear something pink or minty green, duct tape a shoe to your
head, and go as Used Bubble Gum.
Duct tape yourself sticky-side-out and stick popcorn and candy
wrappers all over your body - you can go trick or treating as the
floor of a movie theatre!
Duct tape over your puffy down ski jacket and go as a baked
potato! (Don't forget the dollop of sour cream on your head -
created, of course, with white duct tape.)
Duct Tape yourself to your best friend (or spouse - or both as
the case may be) and go to the Halloween Party as Siamese twins.
Black pants and a black turtle neck with white duct tape bones
makes a quick and easy skeleton costume. Or, use silver duct tape
to make a Terminator skeleton.
Duct tape your head sticky-side-out and roll in freshly mowed
grass: Presto! You're a Chia Pet!
Duct tape mirrors all over yourself. You will either look like
The Invisible Man or like everyone else at the party.
Duct tape two boxes to your shoulders tall enough to match the
top of your head. Pull a turtle neck over them, and put on a
sport coat. You are now Headless Guy.
Duct Tape Biker: Cover your pants and jacket in black duct tape,
duct tape a set of handlebars into your hands and your Ol' Lady
to your back. A black or brown duct tape toupee (complete with
duct tail flip in the back) looks like totally greased-back biker
hair.
(Dads of teenagers will relate to this costume idea.) Cover
yourself with silver duct tape and hang a twenty dollar bill out
of your mouth. Presto! You've become the Human ATM!
