Random crap with Uno.

[JarlWolf]

Not as much as he should.

The current gov't BUncle is the United Russia party, which is a Nationalist party, not a Socialist one.

Though Socialist/Communist support is on the rise in my nation, so that may change soon. I live in the Red Belt and we've seen many Socialist leadership take over, and things ave been improving.
Do keep in mind that the New Socialist party and the Communist party would've gotten way more seats and probably political power if it wasn't for the corruption here: I can say that from personal experience. I ran for my local municipal election and I was on the council for a term, and then the next election comes, I get a good portion of the votes as expected but then holdup:

A recast of the votes is called because it is said there was an error, and what happens next? The unpopular United Russia candidate, who has some wealthy backers gets in and replaces me. And then certain businesses come in and start taking over, and you just see other local ones being closed down.

If that is not corruption I don't know what is.

October 2017, the Second Coming?

Robust agriculture is a national security issue - I would have thought Putin would be more on top of it.

Being nationalist changes nothing in this...

Tell that to the nationalists.

Decisions...

Not long ago grabbed a pair of skeletons because I was in the right place at the right time, no real plan to use them (this year, I'm sure eventually...). 

Well, $40 ea.  As expected they sold out in a day, and are going in the local classifieds for $70+.  There will be more next year after all...

[Unorthodox]

Really hard this year...don't know that I'll ever schedule a vacation in October again, it's really got me all in knots. 

Got to get my consumables orders in a week earlier than normal, kinda messing with the whole budget in the process. 

I know I'm not really trying to build anything, by design, but just feels wrong. 

Probably start petering on something just because. 

[Buster's Uncle]

What's this year's theme?

[Unorthodox]

Theme?  Hah!

[Unorthodox]

To clarify, we don't generally do "themes" in the traditional sense.  It's the general harvest thing we've done since 2010.  Some minor changes here and there, kind of a round up of everything we've done to date. 

Wiggles, boss wanted size references.  3rd instar, FWIW. 



Chompy, 2nd instar. 



Talia's first picture.

Are we not talking about Halloween anymore?  I thought we were when I asked...

[Unorthodox]

I'm gemini, I talk lots of things at once. 

But, what do you call this "theme"?



Add some candles, some skulls on stakes, maybe some voodoo elements as window dressing, and the Barghest. 

[Buster's Uncle]

That would be harvest, sir.

[Unorthodox]

I want the side to have that tunnel of corn I posted a pic of someone's yard earlier in the year...

[Unorthodox]

Might drag out and throw in some of the "tombstones" from last year.  They are generic enough to be weird. 

The motors I bought may or may not work for a breathing grave, but I didn't want to start that till after. 

[Unorthodox]

Smattering of this tossed in...
