See, I worked in WhSmiths when 5 and 6 came out
I was the only person that volunteered to do the midnight openings, I would work 11pm-2am, go home, read the book cover to cover and be in work again at 12, knackered but smug because I knew what had happened.

God I'm sad.

I went a bit mad and decorated the tills with various things. Unfortunately I went a bit horror, so there was a severed foam arm, a bottle of fake blood, a jar of 'worms' and a jar of eyeballs I made from lyches and food colouring Up2.it/ali/eyeballs_small.jpg

Haha, they're fucking grim
but cool. I shall bear that in mind for hallowe'en.
(berk, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:10, Reply)

the blood was
treacle, golden syrup, red food colouring and a bit of hot water. Works a treat. The worms jar was food colouring with green apple bootlaces in. JUst for future reference

Yeah, I made a load of fake blood this hallowe'en just gone
my advice to you is: don't forget about it and leave it in a tupperware container in your car for four months. It won't end well.
That was just water, sugar, red food colouring and cocoa, I think, to make it less pink.

nice
having treacle in it makes it sticky so you can do good finger prints. I think the forensic department at college use cornflour

Yeah, there was cornflour in mine to thicken it, now I come to think of it.
I made an awesome zombie.

You sent me a photo of you as a Zombie.
I confirm your zombie points to be high.

from what?
I do good zombie make up if I have access to liquid latex, it just hurts taking it all off
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:23, Reply)

I dressed up as one
nothing fancy like latex etc (I am allergic to it) just makeup. I was a zombie cheerleader. It was epic, as Jeff will attest.

I'm just surprised you turned up at the wedding bash in the same garb.
*Obvious joke in obvious lols*

sorry.

hehe
you laugh, but one of my mates turned up to my wedding as a zombie in a hooded cloak with a massive scar on his face
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:30, Reply)

Did you win any other NATIONAL prizes for dressing up?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:09, Reply)

Not on that occasion.

(berk, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:10, Reply)

But you're a WINNER in the eyes of some.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 22:13, Reply)

Indeed.
