What could possibly make Halloween candy even better? Cakespy suggests deep frying it, Paula Deen style. First, gather your (already) fattening, deliciously classic Halloween treats: candy corn, mellowcreme pumpkins, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Twix, Kit-Kats, Whoppers. Second, roll 'em in batter, and third, drop your batch right into a vat of hot, sizzling oil.
Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite desserts and of great mystery to me. I've made it with fresh pumpkin and homemade crust. I've made it with canned pumpkin and frozen crust.

What's the secret recipe to truly out of the box pumpkin pie?

This classic prank is called invisible rope. Get you and one friend and stand on one side of the road and the other person on the other side.
Turf dancing (Acronym: Taking Up Room on the Floor) is a form of street dance of similar vein to krumping.

Fantastic reissue of this all female punk group from Switzerland. Formed in the early 80's, this was their first single released on their own label Farmer Records. Now Portland's Mississippi Records has finally released this obscure classic. Their sound is a cross between punk and twee pop. Catchy melodies with sing along choruses, upbeat tempos, thumping bass lines and noisy post punk guitars. Very much in the same vein as bands like the Shop Assistants (whom they toured with), Kleenex/Lilip...
A live Beach Boys performance of Surfin' USA... according to my mother, this was a subliminal inspiration for me to surf.

Oh, and bonus: since it weighs less than 254 pounds, you won't need a pilot's license to operate. Previously, NASA's Wicked Cool Take on the Classic Jetpack.

The possible harshness of black eyeliner is balanced out with sweet pink eyeshadow. Wash a pink eyeshadow over the lid. Then apply liquid black eyeliner.
