I didn’t want the Countdown to slip by without at least one Halloween-themed edition of Five Random Action Figures, so here you go!

An ode to Pumpkin Spice Quaker Oatmeal.
After all my years of blogging,
I’ve learned a thing or two.
Like how stories about oatmeal…
Won’t mean much to you.
Before I even started writing,
The bloom was off the rose.
So whatever, fine, fuck it.
I’ll do it in rhymed prose. Read More…
