Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 21, 2009

Nothing cuter than vampire fangs soaking over night.

BUNNICULA!! Anyone ever read that book?

Blah blah!

Lio will sleep more comfortably with his denture out. But what about with his secret out?

I had the best Halloween one year when I had to fly to Huntsville. No real room for a costume, so a set of those fangs went in the shirt pocket. On the airplane, a little girl a couple of seats ahead thought they were fun. After arriving, I walked into a restaurant, said “Good EVE-ning! One, please!” and the hostess dropped her jaw on the floor. (I apologized later). Perfect!

A long time ago The JAM.

THE JAM - OMG YEAH! I still get the giggles whenever anyone talks about ‘dead beets’ Those books were wonderful :-)

That’s why Lio goes to school later ever. You can being a vampire Lio, but just grow a little more. ;)

What a perfect child. He hangs up his clothes and takes care of his teeth

cool

@ The_JAM:

You just can’t beat Bunnicula and a young librarian (with braces) from Amsterdam. A heady mixture.

THE_JAM - Thanks for bringing up Bunnicula! I read it when I was a kid and LOVEDLOVEDLOVED it!

Thanks to zzrmags! I totally forgot about that until I saw your comment, and now I’m giggling too!

pbarnrob: I hear you. I have a set made by a cosmetic dentist who makes prosthetics on the side. They were colour matched to my natural teeth and looked realler than real. I wore them as my “costume” while working as a pit boss at a local casino. I nonchalantly leaned over and made like I was going to bite a dealer. The entire table screamed. It was awesome.

You learn something every day. I’d never heard of Bunnicula until now. Now Lilo’s plush toy makes even more sense…

“Good evening. I am Liocula. I bid you velcome.” (Talk about worst-case schizophrenia.)

What happens to anyone who enters Lio’s room? Do they “Enter and Die” like the ill-fated explorers of Calvin’s room did?

a hard day’s night

I still, as a adult, love the Bunnicula books I discovered when I was a kid. C:
