Hearse on Standby?

[Guest BruceW]

During the annual President's Reception a few weeks ago and again yesterday as we drove past the National Headquarters, Di and I saw a late model (Oldsmobile.. I think it was) hearse sitting next to the headquarters building. Was just wondering what the significance of the hearse was?

A new addition to the Moskowitz collection?

A very small Professional Vehicle show?

A not so subtle indication of AACA's future? (just kidding of course)

It is an Oldsmobile hearse and yes, I think it is about ready for me! Howeveer, it will be doing halloween duty tonight I think! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe it's time to give up trick or treating when you reach that age where you need to drive around the neighborhood for your candy?

I always thought Halloween was on the 31st. My computer says its only the 27th.

[Steve Moskowitz]

Sorry, but the only thing you guys have offered me since coming here is chow-chow, hog maw. chicken w/waffles, chicken pot pie (soup?)...so the candy is the only real nourishment available to me for the year. Besides, the pollution controls do not work around here real well and smelling chocolate 24 hours a day gets you addicted. I already have my ready made costume...a scary face! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oldscarnut, in the last 25 years we've had about 10 trick or treaters. And they never came back the second time, I don't understand it?

Speaking of Halloween. There is a house down the block that has an old caddy sitting on his front lawn with dummies and a strobe light inside. Pretty neat Idea. I will see if I can take a picture before he puts it away. The caddy is no show car but fits in with Halloween.

You need to roll that 1915 Dodge out on the lawn and let the trick or treaters take pot shots at the rat.

[Steve Moskowitz]

It must be your cheerful dispostion! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Or maybe the looooooong driveway! Or maybe giving them chow-chow instead of candy. Come to think of it, I have made one trip there and not have been back either! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Steve,

I went there 25 years ago for trick or treat and the old grump took MY candy! Cheerful dispostion? Now there's a new one!

[nearchoclatetown]

You need to roll that 1915 Dodge out on the lawn and let the trick or treaters take pot shots at the rat. I've taken plenty of pot shots at the rat, hasn't done any good. Still haven't found the corpse. I did find the petrified remains of her grandpa I saving for you-know-Hoo.

37, I spent the afternoon sifting through the 5 gallons of Rat Crap that was in the car hoping to find something of value, like the original ignition key. More skeletons, a plastic shot glass, and some Dr. Schole's {sp} shoe pads, but no key. The Rat crap stank to high heaven that I almost hurled. Of course I wore rubber gloves as you should never touch anything Rat infested without them.

[1937hd45]

I watched that show "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel a few weeks ago, rats are incontinent, they just can't control themselves. Do you plan to restuff the original seats?

[West Peterson]

I don't think you should be breathiing it either... though I don't know that for sure as far as getting ill from it. I'd wear a respirator when diving into it.
