Yes, but what happened to his horses?

Hee! First. Also, creeeeepy.

Scary!!!!! Don't let Chuck at those bones!

You must have offended him in this obvious moment of privacy.

Or, um, not even close to first. Never mind me. :)

Halloween decorations? I live in the South, and we only ever hang ghosts from trees -- I think hanging skeletons might be a faux pas, after a history of lynchings ("Southern trees bear strange fruit").
Maybe you could hang it from a Bush?
9. MelissaS said:
Ah, I see they found the Stop...Bush sticker perpetrator.
10. Jaia said:
I guess they still hang midgets, too.
11. blondzila said:
Is this another ex-Mormon early bum-scooter non-crawler Bush-hater? Man, your stepfather is mean.
12. Heatheranne said:
You have skeletons hanging up in Utah, we have Christmas decorations going up in Central Ohio.

It's Jared from the Subway commercials!
15. Jeff said:
Aren't these supposed to be in your closet?
16. Kano said:
Nope....In Utah everyone has come out of the closet Jeff.
17. Jeff said:
Unless of course, you are a politician. They are all the same.
18. kim said:
ha, i was thinking the exact same thing as beerzie. funny.. did i mention how badly i WANT THAT CAMERA??? coz i do..
19. Michael said:
And here I thought they used the firing squad...
20. Salesman said:
Ummm Kim....they make these things called stores and they have things called cameras for sale in them. You can go and buy you very own camera just like the D70 used for those pictures. They have financing available too.
21. TracyDee said:
creepy... in oh so many ways :)
22. Becca said:
Now THAT is funny.
23. Nina said:
love mr. bonez... he was actually very tasty.
24. coolbeans said:
That makes my neck sore. I suppose I shouldn't have tried turning my head that far around, huh?
Hmm.
Where is this store with available financing for the D70? I must have one.

Politics aside, I sure hope that I am not the only one offending by this statement. Geez, people.
26. Daniel said:
Hey, look! It's Calista Flockhart!
27. Shauny said:
Shiver me timbers! Rockin shot, Heather :)
Why do some people tend to congratulate the camera? No matter how fancy you think a camera is, it's only as good as the person standing behind it.

No, no, you should just hang the Bush.
Love the pic and the cheap shot. Yay, Halloween!!
29. Jeff said:
Yes, Daniel, Calista; or Lara Flynn Boyle, or Mary-Kate Olson, or.... heck the list could go on. Ah Hollywood, the ultimate annorexia.
30. Fujiko said:
Let's not make fun of anorexics here. They've got enough skeletons in their closets.
31. Michael said:
anorexia is phat. Ok, that was really mean. Sorry, whoever gets offended by that.
I sense a serious issue starting... maybe some vitrol will be spewed
32. Jeff said:
So, has anybody reported having found Hoffa yet?
33. tiffany said:
Hi Salesman, I took your advice and just got back from the camera store. The salesman there informed me that they have this stuff called "money" and "available credit" that I might want to look into getting before I come back.
So I called my credit card company, and they told me that they have this thing called "debt to income ratio" and that I should really look into getting one of those "real jobs" everyone is buzzing about these days. -shrug-
Heather, how do you not kill everyone?
34. Sven said:
Shauny is right. I don´t get why all those people want that camera. Why don´t they want dooce´s car, dog, etc.?
35. Salesman said:
Hmmm....Funny now your name is Tiffany? No wonder your line of credit is bad.....You have several identities. How she keeps from killing people hopefully is the fact that she can seperate Internet garbage from realtiy which it looks like a lot of people have trouble doing.
36. Lindsey said:
Wow, Utah does Halloween? Aren't they afraid that the devil will take over their souls or something?
37. Susie said:
Maybe Leta is playing word-association. You say Mama, she says Dada. I think it's a sign of her understanding advanced concepts, like "these two go together." Yea, that's the ticket . . .
38. domino said:
I want one!
I sense a lot of negativity in the comments lately. Hell, you'd have to be blind not to notice.
These people who are making shitty comments and opening up the flaming will probably get the comments facility closed for good. I know Heather hates it when you diss her and her family, dissing her readers is a bit much too.
The "it's only a photo" gang ought to think that a simple photo can brighten someone's day no end. Who gives a shuddering shit whether one person thinks it's the best photo ever? Heather has brightened so many lives in so many ways. Let us indulge in a bit of hero worship, please.

41. slick said:
i miss seeing halloween decorations since i moved to boston. the 'burbs have them, but the city people don't decorate. it's not posh, or something. are you going to carve up pumpkins? i wish i could do that too.
*sigh*
and heather, if you need help kicking ass, i'm your girl ;)
42. Sven said:
Why, domino. It´s not like this blog isn´t dissing anyone itself. Noticed?
43. valence said:
With all due respect, domino, Heather's comment site used to say that "kiss ass comments are discouraged" -- pretty clear evidence that hero-worship comments are just as (and maybe more) creepy than the negativity. I'm just saying.
I'm glad she's hidden them on the photo site. That way, one can enjoy her writing without being tempted to read these comments (mine included). I hate 'em, but I can't help but look sometimes. They are compelling in the way the Jerry Springer show is. I know they'll irritate me, but I can't look away.
44. Emily said:
Here Domino comes to save the day!!!!! Mighty Domino is on his way!!!! Let the trumpet players play!!!
45. Belladonna said:
Oo... where can I get one??
There are so few really good Hallowe'en decorations out there (never mind that I keep them up year round, shhh!).
I love it! :)
46. kEma said:
Dooce,
pray not to be the next one... noone can predict what those Utah ppl will do next :))
47. shannon c said:
I agree with Shauny as well. I was just about to write that it is Heather we should be commending for the photos, it's her finger pushing the button at exactly the right moment.
48. Danika said:
What I don't get is why people don't just ignore the flaming posts. Just shake your head and move on people. Responding just adds to it.
Cuz really not everyone will think that this photo or that is awesome. Why should you all get to comment on how great they are if someone can't comment on not liking or not thinking its so great.
I like this pic but didn't really care for the one leaf pic. Don't shoot me because I disagree
49. Danika said:
Oh and Leta not saying mama. Try singing dada and see if she does the opposite. ;)
My niece has an Aunt name Tracy and an aunt named Christine (thats my real name using danika is an internet habit)and she has been saying Tracy for a loooong ass time. I've of course been jealous because she rarely said Christine and then when she did it really doesn't sound much like Christine. Then everytime she saw me she would call me Tracy. So of course I was sad that my niece whom I worship things I am Tracy. Then one day we (her Mommy and I) finally figured out that when she refers to me as Tracy she is actually saying my name.. just saying it her way... it just sounds a lot like Tracy but if she says it slow its actually more like chrissy!
There really was not point to my story sharing... :)
50. domino said:
I hope I didn't start anything with my comment. I guess it's hard to put feelings into words, especially in an internet situation.
Maybe 'hero worship' is a little strong, but at the end of the day, people are still inspired by the stories they read here, and the pictures they see.
Maybe I'm a tad sensitive, but I'd hate it if people came to my blog and started getting narky. Telling someone to "get a life" because they really like a photo? That's where I have the problem.
However, it's up to Heather, isn't it? I just wanted to say that the negativity towards people saddens me.
51. Amanda said:
AAHHHHH! I have the cutest hair cut for you! But since you already did the deed, maybe you can just keep it on file. I posted it on my site for you. If you don't check it out, maybe I'll e-mail it to you later. At first I couldn't tell if it's just the girl that makes her hair look so cute. But it's not. It's definitely the hair on it's own!!!!!!
52. ella's ma said:
My daughter says Da ALL DAY when I'm the only one here dealing with the whinging, and poop, etc. But my husband tells me, when he takes her anywhere, she sits in the car saying Ma the whole time.
53. ella's ma said:
And oh yeah, can everyone just chill out and be nice to each other for ONE day?!?! GEEEEEEZ......
54. Sven said:
Domino, it sure is difficult to get the wording right at times. And there´s nothing wrong in liking an average everyday photo.
But I see something wrong in adoring every tiny little meaningless thing a person does and says and starting raving about it on the spot.
That´s where I´d draw the line.

re: "Jon immediately ducked as I threw her stuffed purple rhinoceros at his head."
Why does the man always get punished for his irresistable lovable-ness?
Jon, I feel your pain.

Sven & Domino- now we know your opinions on the daily photo, which you are both entitled to. Neither is right or wrong so, lets move on.

Dooce - I just gotta tell you this! It's unrelated to the picture or your recent posts. You and your blog were mentioned in the Jargon Watch in this month's issue of Wired Magazine ! They listed the definition for "dooced." (The Nov issue isn't online yet unfortunately.) Congratulations on your mention in the quintessential geek magazine! Woo-hoo! I'm so proud...

Great shot, I love how the background blurs.. I'm still getting "used" to my camera.. I tried to take a picture from a distance of my daughter yesterday.. well I focused on a leaf, and she is blurred.. it actually turned out to be a cool picture.. but not what I ment to do .. :)

comment fight!
65. Amber said:
*gasp* it almost look real..in that surreal way. the strings give it away though. And what is with the face? Doesn't it look a little mashed? Looks like our friend must have gotten into a drunken fight..(Oh so that is why he is being hanged!)

Rather insulting to the photographer, don't you think?

i was just commenting to my boyfriend this morning how much I WISH IT WOULD SNOW. I am so jealous of your four-day storm, dooce.
75. Daniel said:
I happen to be wearing a Hot Topic leather mini right now and I support your decision to stay away from them. My butt is sweating and I smell like a damn saddle.
76. Kathy said:
Technically, if you went shopping in them, they are no longer pajamas, but now are a shopping outfit.
On a personal note - Brian would have been 27 today. Drugs suck.
77. Denise said:
Snow!?!?
Please post a picture of the snow tomorrow.
I live in New Orleans where it is still 80-degrees and humid.
78. kate said:
I wanted to remind everybody (or tell, if you didn't know what I am about to say in the first place) to be sure to click on the ads running on dooce or blurbomat as often as you can stand, and even consider buying some of the products advertised. The more of us that click on the ads and/or buy products, the more likely advertisers/Google will re-book more ads on the sites. Meaning more $$ for the Armstrongs (both of which are too ethical to point any of this out to us, their readers). People: even clicking on the ads makes a difference, since advertisers totally look at the number of "click-throughs," and make re-booking decisions based on those numbers.
Sincerely,
an ex-traffic coordinator
79. Amber said:
It snowed? Aww jeez, I wish it would snow around here. I'd give Leta all of the baby toys I received from my baby shower if you could send me some snow. I am sure they'd keep her busy for at least a few more minutes. ;)
And you changed the 'everyday' to 'every day'. How odd how that stupid ONE SINGLE SPACE makes all the difference. STUPID. COMPUTERS. UGH.
Love in Christ,
Amber <><
P.S. Does anyone know why Mormons don't believe in drinking caffiene? I've been so curious.

Uh oh. Comments creeping up again. The last time that happened, my Mac CHOKED.
Heather, you should sell those Mormon votive candles from your web site. They would make great party gifts and a mockery of the church. What other fun collectables do Mormons make?
84. Super Turtle Girl said:
Scary! I mean, people are already decorating for Halloween?
85. Sam said:
nice to see i got up some people's noses yesterday.
and apparently the sentiment has been carried over today!
yay for reality!
86. Karen said:
Damn you and your snow! It's 85 freakin' degrees here in Houston! My kid isn't going trick-or-treating this year, because her costume is so warm and wooly, I fear she may die of heatstroke before she makes it around the block.
Luckily, she only has 4 teeth, so I'm thinking she won't miss the candy.
87. blondzila said:
Snow? Holy crap. I live in Toronto, Canada and it hasn't snowed here yet. Sucks to be in Utah I guess.
88. LadyBug said:
Well, Dooce, if you want my advice.....just kidding.
So glad you have an 'entertain the baby' plan for Wednesday. I've lived in Texas all my life, and can't imagine snow in October! My girls went to school in shorts today!
Oh, and KATE....thanks for the heads up on the Google ads. I'll totally start clicking now, even though I'm quite sure I have NO need for a Flowbee OR a blonde wig......and if I DID, Why Oh Why would I buy one on EBay? Can you say, "Head Lice?"
But I digress....
God bless,
LadyBug

Looks like my Mother-In-Law went to Utah....BAHAHAHAA
ANYHOO, I've never heard of 'Hot Topic' because of the simple town in Ohio I live in...I did a Google and will DEIFNITELY be doing some online Christmas shopping there, WOOHOO!!!!!

So, are you a fan of the old salem or the new salem? And do you think Mimi should just deck Jan Spears, or admit to rex that she did a bad thing? And what about everyone using those fake, lame vines to repel down cliffsides in the jungle?
(Oooops, did I just say all of that out loud?)
91. heathabee said:
OMG I LOVE DAYS OF OUR LIVES!
...
..
i mean...
no, i really do. lol Why can't Mimi just tell Rex the truth, and why can't she tell Belle that Jan is blackmailing her - surely Belle would understand! And those vines in NuSalem are getting the best of me!! and why can't they find a real baby for Jenn to carry around instead of a way-too-small doll??
I'll stop.
:)
92. Willie Ray said:
All of a sudden the temperature has dropped here in Oregon where I live. No snow but lots of coldness. As I get older and older I like winters less and less. Mainly because my body aches this time of year. I shouldn't complain though. It could be worse. I could be dead and looking like your friend hanging there in that tree.

Dude, that's so unfair. It's still 85 hot nasty drippy degrees here. And you got snow. (i shall pout for the duration of my entry) It's so humid here that it's hard to breath. I've got freakin' Gilda Radner hair here people. (God rest her soul)

The snow won't amuse Leta? How about Chuck romping in the snow? (Does he romp in snow? My dog, being part some-kind-of-husky, loves the snow and does a very good doggy romping.) I bet a flashlight, a blanket and a power-outage could lead to a whole five minutes of "peek-a-boo" with a new, ghostly mommie in a blanket twist! And you have reminded me that I need to pick up more post-shave healer.
98. faith said:
How to Amuse Leta: when Jacob saw his first snow at five months we would throw him in it trying to get perfect angel shapes from the siloheutte he left there. We didn't throw too hard of course, in case we spoilt the siloheute, and he LOVED it!

mormon's don't drink coffee, or tea because of the tannins. or so a mormon told me.
101. Katie said:
Ha! Funny, funny comments.
Amber, #79 - I'm an ex-Mormon, here's the deal with the caffeine. You know about the Book of Mormon, right? That's not the only Mormon addition to the scriptural canon. In one of the other, less known texts, there's a passage that says sonmething like "hot drinks are not for the belly". Somehow, Mormons took that to mean no booze & no coffee and tea. But herbal tea is okay. And hot chocolate. But not diet coke. Even though it's cold. Actually, it's kind of confusing. I remember asking about it as a ten year old. "Mom, why is herbal tea okay? Why can we still eat chocolate even though chocolate has caffeine in it? Huh? Why?" I think that's when they first figured out I was headed for the heathens. Oh, well.
