Where all the Posts Went

For the handful of you folks that still drop by you have to have noticed the profound drop in posts.

Jeff and I decided to take a little break from the site as our visitors were doing the same. Ultimately, what’s going to happen is we’re shifting over to content largely about Halloween. Partly because we both like Halloween, but mainly because that’s when have visitors to the site. During the month of October our numbers jump by about 3000%, no joke.

Don’t worry if you like all of the other nonsense we’ve posted in the past, it’s all going to stay here. So if you hit our site looking for that Jim Gaffigan video, it will still be here. Same for the Colorectal surgeon and that infernal Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre poem. But the new stuff will likely have a Halloween tutorial sort of theme.

Come spring expect something on growing pumpkins. And all through the summer we’ll have stuff on making costumes and scaring your neighbors.

Tune in next time for a little instruction. But just a little.

A top 7 list of Conspiracies that really happened

These summarial descriptions, as well as summaries of the outcomes of these conspiracies, can be found at Cracked.com.

#7 - In 1933, group of wealthy businessmen that allegedly included the heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush tried to recruit Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler to lead a military coup against President FDR and install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. And yes, we’re talking about the same Prescott Bush who fathered one US President and grandfathered another one.

#6 - Near the end of WWII, things were rapidly going south for Germany and the time seemed ripe for guilt-ridden Nazi officers to assassinate Hitler and overthrow his government. Colonel Henning von Tresckow recruited Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg to join the conspiracy in 1944.
The plot to take out Hitler and then all of his loyal officers was called Operation Valkyrie, based on the belief that no plan can fail if it has a cool enough name.

Clearing out my favorites list today here at the Drunken Pumpkin corporate headquarters and wanted to share some items that tickled me when I ran across them but for some reason never made it onto the website.

Enjoy!

Like gluing your roommates sandals to the floor.
