Oooh boy, we�ve got a recipe for disaster in our front yard right now. The hippie neighbors had the bright idea of renting a popcorn machine for Halloween. This thing is huge! And loud! They�re out there right now, probably loaded, dumping oil into the machine, which is positioned right next to a raging bonfire. Their special hippie friend is standing by, drinking a Steel Reserve. I don�t know of any parent on Earth who would let her child accept a bag of popcorn from these people. Well, except for those parents who like to take their chances with letting their kids have laced treats. I keep hearing the parents say, �Oh, no thank you�but it smells good!�

Earlier, the hippies told me they �have enough popcorn to feed 500 people,� as if Jesus had multiplied their kernel supply. �Tis a Halloween miracle! Right here in Long Beach.

**Whoa! I'm amending this entry thirty minutes later to say: There are about 200 people in our yard! I do not kid. It's a sea of trick-or-treaters out there, and there's a line down the street for the popcorn. So, I'm eating my words. This popcorn scheme is the best idea ever. Nutty female hippie just shouted, �Is everyone having fun?!� And all the kids yelled, �YEEEAAAAHHH!� And then the male hippie yelled, �It's a revolution!!!�

POPCORN REVOLUTION!
