OUR SHAMELESS-SPURIOUS SPOOKTACULAR POST PARADE:

GRUMPY CAT ~ (RUFFIAN)

DALEK -- DrWho (DUSTY)

SMAUG: DRAGON OF LOTR ~ (DC - EL PRADO)

MR. PEABODY ~ (POST TIME MIKE)
Mr. Peabody is a business titan, inventor, scientist,

ZOMBIE HUSBAND ~ (BLUNNY)

ZOMBIE WIFE ~ (THUNDER CAT)

ARCHIE BUNKER ~ (CIGARSHOP)

SYLVESTER THE CAT ~ (CATALINA)

JOE BTFSPIK ~ (REAL QUIET)
He is well-meaning, but is the world's worst jinx --
Bringing disastrous misfortune to everyone around him.
A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over
his head to symbolize his bad luck.
Hapless Btfsplk and his ever-present cloud
became one of the most iconic images in Li'l Abner.

RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI ~ (CRUZAN)

Is a short story in the 1894 anthology The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
About the adventures of a valiant young mongoose.
The story follows the experiences of a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
After he becomes the pet of a British family
residing in India as protection against cobras.

SHRODINGER'S CAT ~ (TIGER DANCER)
THE SIMPLE DESCRIPTION:
In simple terms, Schrödinger stated that:
If you place a cat and something that could kill the cat
(ie: a radioactive atom) into a box and sealed it,
You would not know if the cat was dead or alive
until you opened the box. So that until the box was opened,
The cat was (in a sense) both "dead and alive".

THE RAVEN / EDGAR ALLEN POE ~ (RAVEN)

MAGGIE SIMPSON ~ (PEEPTOAD)
Maggie Simpson (aka "The Smartest Simpson" Lisa gots nothing!)...

HIGH SECURITY IS IN PLACE
TO PREVENT HARM TO RUNNERS -&- VISITORS

AND NOW ON WITH THE SARDONIC ~ SATIRICAL ~ SCANDALOUS SHOW!

THE 'SPOOKTACULAR LUCKY #13 ARE IN THE GATE

SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET, ALL LOOKING UP
WHAT CAN IT BE CAUSING SUCH A RESOUNDING REACTION??

FLYING HIGH RIGHT OVER THE GATE IS:
CASPER! THE FRIENDLY GHOST
WHO WILL FLY OVER THE FIELD GATE TO WIRE
CATCHING ANY 'TECHNICAL-INFRACTIONS' ~
THO TODAY, MOST OBJECTIONS WILL BE DISMISSED
BASED ON THE 'NATURE' OF THE RUNNERS!

AND AWAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 2018 SPOOKTACULAR!

OUT FOR AN EARLY LEAD, IT'S SYLVESTER -&- MAGGIE SIMPSON

THE DUO IS FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY GRUMPY CAT + SHRODERINGS CAT
THE RAVEN IS FLYING FAST BEHIND THE FIERCE FILLY FELINES

ZOMBIE HUSBAND IS STALKING SNEAKINGLY BEHIND
THE FRONT RUNNING FREAKY FOURSOME!

THE REST ARE PLAYING A SPURIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS SLOW GAME-PLAN

~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~

THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY .....

THE DALEK HAS TAKEN A SCARY COMMAND OF THE RACE

THE RAVEN SHOWING NO FEAR -- FEARLESSLY FLYING ABOVE
AND THE ZOMBIE HUSBAND -- CAUTIOUSLY WITHIN THE 2 IN FRONT

SHRODINGER'S CAT IS PURRRFECTLY PLACED, READY TO POUNCE
(BUT... IS SHE REALLY THERE, OR IS IT ONLY AN ILLUSION?)

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO THE ZOMBIE BRIDE
FOLLOWED CAUTIOUSLY BY RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI -&- MAGGIE SIMPSON

GRUMPY CAT IS NEXT -- ALONG WITH SYLVESTER
AS THE 2 FELINES ARE STRUGGLING WITH
THE SPEED AND SCARY SCANDALOUS
BEINGS ALL AROUND THEM!

IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD WHO MAY BE
INTIMIDATED ~ OR SIMPLY PLAYING A VERY CAUTIOUSLY CLEVER GAME?

ARCHIE BUNKER ~ MR PEABODY ~ JOE BFSTPLK ARE NEXT

AS SMAUG, THE DANGEROUS DRAGON FROM THE SHIRE
IS SHOWING A DEADLY DRAMATIC DISPLAY OF
SUPER SINISTER STALKING ... FAR BACK

~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~

IT'S THE DALEK, SEEKING TO TOTALLY ANNIHILATE THE FIELD
THE CROWD IS FREAKING OUT HEARING THE SANCTIMONIOUS
SCREECHING OF ''EXTERMINATE - EXTERMINATE - EXTERMINATE!''

BUT THE 2 ZOMBIES ARE NOT LOOKING VERY INTIMIDATED
AS THE ENTRY OF ZOMBIE BRIDE -&- ZOMBIE HUSBAND ARE
CALAMITOUSLY CLOSE TO THE DANGEROUSLY DESTRUCTIVE
DALEK TAKING COMBATIVE CONTROL OF THE LEAD!

THE RAVEN IS BEGINNING TO FRANTICALLY FLUTTER
SEEMINGLY NEEDING A TREE LIMB TO REST TIRING WINGS!

JOE BTFSPIK IS STARTING TO CAUTIOUSLY PICK UP HIS PACE
MOVING UP WITH AN EYE ON THE SKY AS THE RAVEN IS RIGHT
ABOVE HIM WITH HIS OWN EYES ON THE STRANGE BEING BELOW!

RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI IS ANOTHER 5 LENGTHS BACK, APPARENTLY
AWARE OF A DALEK -&- 2 ZOMBIES AHEAD OF HIM ~
THO NOT PARTICULARLY FEARFUL OF A LOW FLYING RAVEN
OR A QUIRKY CHARACTER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM....
EVEN AS A FIERCE PREDATOR HUNTING VENOMOUS SNAKES
HE DOES SEEM A BIT HESITANT TODAY

A TENUOUS TRIO ARE NEXT BUT FAR BACK
MR PEABODY ~ ARCHIE BUNKER ALONG WITH ~ SHRODINGER'S CAT

THO WHO REALLY KNOWS IF THE CAT IS ACTUALLY THERE OR NOT?
ONE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE A 'BOX' ON A SADDLE
THEN IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THERE SITS THE CAT!

MAGGIE SIMPSON IS CAUTIOUSLY TRYING TO GAIN GROUND
BUT HER PACIFIER KEEPS SLIPPING OUT OF HER MOUTH ....
WITH HER HANDS TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING
SO SHE IS MANEUVERING WITH JUST 1 HAND ON REINS!
TRICKY WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE SPEED!

EVEN FARTHER BACK, A TIRING TERRIFIED TWOSOME OF
GRUMPY CAT & SYLVESTER, APPEAR TO BE SEARCHING FOR
EITHER A KITTY CONDO TO HIDE IN, OR MAYBE A LITTER BOX?

TRAILING THE FIELD, A NORMALLY DANGEROUS DRAGON -- SMAUG,
HAVING LEFT THE COMFORT OF THE SHIRE ....
NOT SEEING ANY HOBBITS AROUND,
JUST A DISCOMFORTING DISPLAY OF WEIRDNESS ~
--- APPEARS TO HAVE GIVEN UP THE FEROCIOUSNESS OF
THE DRAGON-NATURE .... FOR A SAFE, SECURE SPOT
AWAY FROM THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS IN THE DISTANCE

~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~

THE DAUNTINGLY DANGEROUS DALEK, CONTINUES TO TAUNT
AND TRAUMATIZE THE REST OF THE RUNNERS BEHIND ~

BUT THE ZEALOUS, ZESTY ZOMBIE DUO APPEAR TO NOT BE
AT ALL INTIMIDATED AS THEY ARE CLOSING QUICKLY ON THE
DALEK, IN SPITE OF HEARING THE CONTINUAL CHANT OF
''EXTERMINATE-EXTERMINATE-EXTERMINATE!''
...

THE RAVEN CONTINUES TO FLY ALONG, THO WITH SLIGHTLY
TIRING WINGS ~ BUT NOT FLUTTERING IN FAILURE EITHER

JOE BTFSPLK IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE LOW FLYING RAVEN
WITH AN EYE TO THE SKY, PERHAPS FEARFUL OF SOMETHING
DROPPING ON HIM FROM THE BIG, BOISTEROUS, BLACK BIRD!

IT'S ABOUT 7 LENGTHS BACK TO RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI WHO CONTINUES
TO BE WARY OF THE DANGERS IN FRONT OF HIM
SEEMINGLY HESITANT TO ENGAGE ANY SPEED TO MOVE UP

A TIRING TRIO IS RIGHT THERE WITH THE MONGOOSE ~

MR PEABODY ~ ARCHIE BUNKER AND SHRODINGER'S CAT
WHO SEEMS TO BE INVISIBLE NOW, WITHIN THE BOX!
THE CROWD IS DUMB-STRUCK, NEVER HAVING SEEN A
BOX ON A SADDLE ON A RACEHORSE!
PROVING, YOU CAN SEE SOMETHING NEW ON ANY DAY!

MEANWHILE, GROUCHY GRUMPY CAT -&- A LETHARGIC SYLVESTER
CONTINUE TO JUST STROLL ALONG, WITH EYES SEEMINGLY
SEARCHING FOR STRAY CATNIP BLOWING IN FROM THE INFIELD!

STILL STAYING A SAFE 20 LENGTHS FAR BACK OF THE REST
~ SMAUG THE DRAGON, SHOWING NO INTEREST TODAY IN
DESTRUCTION ~ REMAINS A DRAMATICALLY DISTANCE BEHIND

SUDDENLY A RESOUNDING ROAR FROM THE CROWD AS EYES
LOOKING BACKWARD ARE STUNNED SEEING A MASTERFUL MOVE
BY MAGGIE SIMPSON, APPARENTLY NOT CARING ABOUT
HER BELOVED PACIFIER DROPPING ALONG THE WAY....
CLOSING CONVINCINGLY WITH SURPRISINGLY SUPER SPEED
PASSING ALL IN HER WAY
AND NOW JUST 5 LENGTHS BEHIND
2 ZOMBIES & A DANGEROUS DALEK!

WITH THE WIRE JUST AHEAD, THE DALEK SHOWING NO SIGNS
OF SLOWING DOWN OR GIVING UP ~ HEADS TO THE FINISH LINE
--- CONFIDENTLY COMFORTABLE THAT A WIN IS A SURE THING!

BUT AS WE ALL KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE ~
NO SUCH THING AS A ''SURE THING'' IN ANY RACE

AND IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, THAT IDEA SUDDENLY BECAME TRUE
AS THE ZOMBIE HUSBAND DECIDED HE HAD ENOUGH
OF THAT DAUNTINGLY DESTRUCTIVE DALEK ....

WITH ONE SUPER-SONIC-SURGE OF SPEED....
ZOMBIE HUSBAND HAS SPOOKILY SURPRISED THE DALEK
CATCHING IT UNAWARE OF HIS OWN GHASTLY APPEARANCE
SNEAKING UP SWIFTLY ON THE FAR OUTSIDE....

PUTTING WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SKELETON-LIKE NOSE ON THE WIRE

A DAZED, DEPRAVED, DESTRUCTIVE DALEK HAS FINALLY
MET A MATCH THAT WAS NOT INTIMIDATED OR DESTROYED!

TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE FOR THE DALEK
HE NOW HAS ANOTHER ZOMBIE RIGHT BEHIND HIM
THE ZOMBIE BRIDE IS ABOUT TO OVERTAKE THE DALEK

BUT THE WIRE COMES JUST IN TIME FOR THE DALEK TO
HOLD ON TO 2nd ~ FOR THE BRIDESMAID GOWN WHICH
ON A DALEK, MAY PROVE TO BE HUMILIATING & MORTIFYING!

ZOMBIE BRIDE MISSING 2nd BY A SKINNY SKELETON NOSE HAIR
(Do Zombies Even Have Nose Hair?)

MAGGIE SIMPSON, EVEN LOSING HER PACIFIER ALONG THE WAY ~
STILL MANAGES TO OUTLAST A RAUCOUS RAMBUNCTIOUS RAVEN,
TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS' ~ A GLORIOUS GOLDEN RING THAT
MIGHT BE A RADICAL REPLACEMENT FOR A PACIFIER!

SO THE SCINTILLATING SPECTACLE SPOOKTACULAR VICTORY
