In the last few hours I have learned that:
Halloween pumpkin lanterns can be made to give off a more eerie glow (not to mention foul stench) by tipping monkey-nut shells onto the flame.
No kidding, they burn like nothing you have ever seen before. Although your friendly neighbourhood bartender may become less friendly as a consequence. It's rather impressive, though.

Happy Halloween :)
(I hope the hangover isn't too bad!)
Just wish I knew what a monkey-nut was.
Monkey-nuts. Y'know. Peanuts. In shells.
Not nuts that have been removed from a monkey, in case the animal-rights people are reading.
Wow! Who knew? I've been daily tossing monkey-nuts to squirrels for years without realizing it. Now I have to change my grocery list.
(Mustn't let TheLimey know. He already thinks it's funny that I didn't know what a "dicky-bird" was.)
