To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.

I do so love it when people read and comply with the PSAs and suggestions I make. In this case, this fine Desi babe obviously chose her Halloween costume with my costuming and cosplay suggestion firmly in mind. 😆 😆 😈
Halloween Horror – An Earworm From A Galaxy Far, Far Away Do Do Dodo DodoStorm Trooper Do Do DoDo DoDo…

And so the true lasting horror of Halloween came to be.
