Fun in Midtown: Friday the 13th edish

It's an October Friday the 13th, and in that spirit, I found a bit of Midtown morbidity (other than general cubicle/fluorescent-lighting-induced loss of will to live, etc.). The first bit is a Halloween display adorning a surpisingly quaint building that houses a vet's office on East 40th Street.
Take special note of this guy. He is so like [skeleton voice] "It's a living," or else [skeleton voice] "Ta-daaaa."

(This establishment is doubtless assisting countless punt-punt "dogs" to yipyipyipyipyip longer, when those things really should not be. Not to mention that these creatures, unsuited for existence outside a handbag, come from breeders and puppy mills when perfectly good pupps are getting euthanized daily, and isn't that the real horror? Just sayin'.)
Anyhoo! That display is temporary, but just another block or two West, you can recoil from the following horrific visages year-round. (Located where? Another card store. Who knew card stores were so goth.)



Awesome.

colleen! your witty observations about city living and life in general are really delightful.
Skeleton man is amazing! capital Z!
i think at first he was probably "Ta daaa!", but after awhile of being in the same position, its the paycheck that keeps him there. i'm digging his outfit too. not very conventional for halloween, but has that purple-ish goth feel. sweet.:)

There was a fiendish ghoul on the uptown Q train this Friday the 13th who haunted us all by saying:
"Eight fake Duracell batteries for one dollar! Eight fake Duracell batteries for one dollar! Eight fake Duracell batteries for one dollar!"
