The first is a picture of the Krupp Bagger 288 open cast mining machine being transported across the German countryside (yes it&#8217;s a genuine shot). The other is our neighbour, Tim, dressed as a Viking (yes it&#8217;s a genuine shot). I&#8217;m still not sure which is scarier. But then that could be because we witnessed Tim as he happened.<br \/>\nWe had planned nothing for Halloween beyond sitting on our porch, drinking Carlo Rossi&#8217;s cheapest, and giving out sweets to the local kids like we did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/veghead\/sets\/72157603067066159\/\">last year.<\/a>  It turned out to be far more entertaining that we imagined. Tim&#8217;s dedication to the whole Halloween event (partially powered by his involvement in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/philly\/blogs\/cityhall\/Nutter_Dont_Be_a_Jackass_tomorrow.html\">past two days celebration<\/a>) was truly awe-inspiring. All of the massive amounts of &#8220;candy&#8221; we purchased were claimed by Trick-or-Treaters by 9pm. By that stage we were all very merry, and had been joined by a bunch of other friends and neighbours, so we ordered pizza from Poppa Large and spent and very enjoyable (and boozy) time sitting out on the porches. That&#8217;s a good tradition in my book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As last night was Halloween, I&#8217;d like to present you with two scary pictures.
