Hiya Skeleton Crew,

Ah jeez, ah jeez, AH JEEZ

Didja hear?

DIDJA HEAR??

AppARentLY my “pal” Milo decided he’d rather dress up & spend Halloween with none other ’n my ARCH-NEMESIS, Cap’n Nemo Toad!

Instead of his ol’ pal, Mr. S!

I.e., ME!!!

I guess Nemo Toad’s Haunted House is just SOOOOOO great & SOOOOOOOO amazin that ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE wants to go & hang out there ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME. & ya know what?? That slimeball – Cap’n Nemo Toad, I mean – that SLIMEBALL announced he’s gonna host a BIG HALLOWEEN BALL, complete with a Best Costume competition. So now Milo is gonna try & win that contest with some other folks???

Uff da!

When I heard ’bout that, I nearly blew my parietals!!

So if ya wanna know why today’s issue is runnin so late, it’s ’cause I was reelin from bein STABBED IN THE SPINAL COLUMN.

Trivia 1

There’s this Halloweeny board game I love, where it starts with everyone workin together as a team to explore a haunted house on a hill. But then halfway through the game, somethin CRAZY happens – it changes from game to game, but it’s always called the “Haunt” – & it causes everythin to go haywire & basically changes all the players’ objectives.

The first word in this board game’s name happens to be the title of a Harold Pinter play that’s notable for bein presented in mostly reverse-chronological order, & was the inspiration for a similarly titled episode from Seinfeld’s last season.

What’s that word?

Trivia 2

What’s the name of this here Price Is Right game?

This two-word answer (you can hyphenate it if ya like) also describes somethin ya might find on the Slovak flag or the Hungarian coat of arms.
