Drats...I'll put my Grinchlettos away for another time....

hahahahah I'm kidding! Though I'm pretty sure it's been done. Seen the Patrick Star costume with killer heels. I don't have a Grinch costume but I do have Buddy the Elf. Went dressed as him to a children's hospital last year.

Think Chris might've talked to you about pics or something? because he brought up the idea of us Schuekids taking pics for dear ol' mom and dad.

Um, I know it's probably not best for business to turn someone down, but I would have to say that's not exactly something I think I'd feel comfortable shooting. But if you'd want to dress up like a regular Grinch, that would be workable.

The answer is that it was during the day. 😁

Do you have a council of ducks?!? Alsooooo you get a gift card! (or the money can be donated to a charity of your choice)

No moon means it's either a new moon or it's daytime and since you never said it was night, he saw it in the sunlight. The duck shall make a nice addition to my council.

The gang

[matt-schue]

Matt: jaajajajajaj 🤣😂 Matt: Suh-weeeeeeeeeet. We hope it fits him. It took longer than anticipated to get here but everyone at the station's jazzed to see your pup strut his stuff in the coat. Matt: You're good. Hey there Delilah is bringing pastries later. The crew shall fest on buttery, flakey goodness this fine day. Maybe you'll see her if you're both here at the same time.

Nick: Que ridículo, Mateo, 😂

Nick: Jesus H. Christ, you had him at the coat and hat. I've created a monster, you put a little outfit on him and it's like he's walking a fucking runway. We'd planned to go for a run in the park, but can swing by before -- need me to pick anything up on the way?

Matt: Don't even get me started with the feeling old shit! I woke up yesterday morning with my neck all fucked up. I didn't even do anything other than sleep in a position different from the one I'm used to. I remember way more of the 90s than the 80s, but every once in a while, one of those old commercials will air, like the Clapper, and I'll Leo point at my screen ahahhaah Matt: That sucks about your stepdad leaving. How old were you when you started working? What was your first job? I got my first at 16, but only because I wanted extra $$$, not to help make ends meet. Do you feel part of your teen years was robbed by that change? Matt: Okay! So I spent some time thinking about the potential alien Rudd sitch. What IFFFFFFF? They haven't unlocked eternal life but have found a way to slow things the fuck down. So it takes a millennia to age a year or two? That's something I can live with. Matt: I watched Only Murders in the Building (binged 3 seasons is more like it, but shhhhhhh), and Paul was in it. He was glorious! Have you watched that show?

Lottie: I was a kid in the 80s and grew up in the 90s so I would have been old enough to see it I would guess, but somehow I missed it. I love watching those throwback things on Insta and FB, though. Half the time it just instills SO MUCH nostalgia, but the other times I'm just like 'fuck I feel old' 😂 I was more of a latch-key kid when I was younger, but I definitely stayed out until the street lights came on ha. Then when I got old enough to get an under-the-table job after my step-father left, I would spend most of my free time working or doing what I needed to to put food on the table. Lottie: Ooh that would be the perfect scenario. Getting stuck in an elevator with him, and the fire crew is just having SUCH a hard time getting the door open because it's so old (I appreciate it 😉). Then I can put on the charms and woo him into sharing his forever young secret with me. Then I will obviously share it with you. If he's a vampire, that's even better. If vampires exist then that means there's a whole paranormal/supernatural underground, and I love it. Lottie: If he's an alien that could present an issue, though. It'd be fucking awesome to know that aliens exist, but it would also mean I couldn't have eternal life. 😭😭 Lottie: You are absolutely right. If there were ever going to be a new Mount Rushmore, it should be Snoop, Keanu, Samuel, and Paul.

Hey hey, Casey Jones! Got any Furbys?? I have one and it needs a buddy or 8.

Well it's officially just three weeks until Small Business Saturday, so I am in full swing with helping to get The Time Capsule ready for our big holiday sales. Know anyone looking for something vintage or retro, specifically in the 80s-90s memorabilia and video game realm? Your boy Zac has got your back! Look, I know places like Amazon have all the new, flashy and shiny things. But nothing pulls at a person's heartstrings more than a chunk of nostalgia from their childhood. Am I right?

[matt-schue]

Can I dress like a sexy Grinch and pose in front of a roaring fire?

I'm currently putting in less hours at the shelter, for anyone looking to set up holiday photo sessions. Whether you want to get family Christmas photos, photos for Christmas cards, or hey even those super awkward, but fun "retro JC Penney" style photos with family or friends, I'm down to make whatever you want done work. Christmas card photos will definitely have first priority, though since I know most people want them ready to send out by Thanksgiving.

[matt-schue]

Why are you calling me a salad??? 🥗

kidding kidding. I know that's some sort of...I don't know if that's a term of affection or what. Like how I would lovingly call someone a fucker but not actually mean it maliciously.

Can't wait to see ya!

You're an absolute tosser sometimes, you know that right?

I'll pop by and bring you lot some!

[matt-schue]

I am nice to her!! She just thinks I'm a....God, what did she say to me earlier? Some British thing? A wanker? No...that wasn't. Wasn't a crumpet either. Are those sweet? A tosser?! I think that was it because I thought of a salad after reading it

Only if you're nice to me. And Delilah. Being nice to Dee is non-negotiable.

[matt-schue]

what are you cooking? can I have some?

(Shhhhhhh, let me cook, Schuester)

[matt-schue]

the x-files: fight the future (1998)

very weird.

[matt-schue]

Take her up on this, Nick!

Do it!

I actually don't know what's happening.

...

...Yes.

[matt-schue]

matt: you want me to get a picture of the guy if I see one?? matt: hell, I might take him for myself 😉 or invite him to that love fest we talked about 😏😏😏

[matt-schue]

Matt: Identical strangers?? You mean they were separated at birth and didn't know about the other's existence? Or are they not related?! Matt: Yellowjackets! It's crazy as a shit story, but damn, that show is GOOD! If you're into dark shows, I recommend watching it a whirl. Matt: Think my thing is not mixing them up by their looks but by their names, if that makes sense. I'll blank and be like, oh! That's Margot Robbie even though it's actually Jaime Pressly (while watching My Name is Earl or Not Another Teen Movie) Matt: What's your comfort sitcom? Talking about one you've seen countless times, can tune in randomly, and know the storyline within ten seconds. Matt: What did you wind up doing long Halloween? I kept at the station. We set up a spot in front of the truck and passed out candy. Full-size bars!😁 Matt: I'm bummed Halloween's gone. I like the lead-up to that holiday.

Daria: yeah, they definitely have some twin hijinks, especially since in their movie they're actually identical strangers. it's got a parent trap vibe, but with that unique twist on it for sure. Daria: wait... what were elijah wood and christina ricci in together? Daria: oh I don't mix them up usually.. just thought the old timey doppelgänger looked more like one than the other. though I can see the similarities in both their features, so I get why you'd get them mixed up. Daria: um, I like the romcom genre, hallmark movies are usually on during christmas season along with the classics for the holiday, comedy in general usually, depending on the type of comedy I guess. sitcoms, dramedy, that sort of thing I suppose. Daria: I haven't decided if I want to close early to hand out candy at home or keep the cafe open an hour later and just have a table of goodies for the kiddos for free. you three going trick or treating? I won't judge, personally I don't think there should be an age limit on it so long as you're having fun and not vandalizing the neighborhood, you know?

[matt-schue]

Fuck to the yeah, it is! I gotta head to Philly for the next couple of days, but I'm back Monday night, and we can get our choco gorge fest on!

Best suggestion I had so far..... but is it really worth the guilt and the suffering in the gym???? Probably.... right?

[matt-schue]

How?? You would've known my gullible ass bought into it and just made things gradually more insane until I eventually caught on.

Well, what would you do if you had a day to do anything you want? No questions. No rules and an infinite amount of $$$.

And yet....here you are. Hey, it keeps the bills paid, yeah?

There's no fun in that for me, though.

That's such a weird choice.

And yet...
