Those of you who are regular (or even infrequent) visitors here will know that there’s been a lot of fuelmyblog fuss around the fraccy blog this October. You likely know that there’s been a voting contest, and the daddypapersurfer and I engaged in quite a bit of zany, madcap competition to try and get your votes.
I would like to thank everyone (though this won’t be the only time I’ll do that) for those votes, but the purpose of this post is actually to benefit you… all of you on the list of links below.
You see, earlier, I’d written a post and let you know that I’d been voting for you. I wanted you to write your “I’m In” post so that you’d be able to claim your snorgtee. Some of you did and some of you didn’t. I told you I was going to vote for you whether or not you voted for me, and that I did. I did my very best, to vote for all of you on that list… and a few more too.
I did it for two reasons. I wanted to help as many of you as I could, get on the top 100 list.. stay there, and get a shirt. I also wanted to show my support for Kevin and Sylvie and all of the fuelmyblog team, icluding the good folks at snorgtees.com who will be supplying the shirts to the top 100. They’re all good people.
Fuelmyblog is a great community.
So this is my last effort to let all of you know that if your link is on the list below, you have two hours left to write that post. I sure hope you haven’t left it thinking you can do it tonight because where the fuelmyblog home is in the offline world, the clock is hours ahead of we who live in North America… like fracas. At 5:01 pm CST, the clock will read 12:01 am November 1st in fuelmyblog land and the contest will be over. If your post isn’t up, you will not be able to claim the snorgtee which this fraccy female has been voting for you for the last several weeks, in order for you to win.
So do it now (if you can). You should’ve done it when I posted the earlier post. Some of you did.
And remember… put your fuelmyblog widget on your blog’s main page. It is so much easier for people to vote for you and increase your exposure and your blog’s traffic, if you do that.
Plus it would make Kevin, Sylvie and poor JohnC (who might have wanted to review your blog for fuelmyblog’s blog but 
couldn’t because you didn’t have a widget up) happy… and fracas loves to help make other people happy. Especially Kevin, Sylvie and John.
And in the spirit of the day….
BOO!

Fracas thinks Halloween is a great day that allows young and old alike, to play pretend, get out all their pent up “actor” desires, and eat a lot of junky treats that on any other day, would have moms everywhere behaving like the Wicked Witch of the West.
To help out those who like to partake of the pretend, I’ve compiled some helprul links and information for you.
- Check out Haunted Illinois for your Halloween Midi Music needs, ideas for creating realistic props for your own Haunted House and other great Halloween links.
- Visit the History Channel and learn about The History of Halloween, or check out Wikipedia’s entry on the same. Though most of us celebrate it for the fun, the pretend, the dress-up and (though last but certainly not least) the treats, Halloween has a history.
- Visit The MoNsTer mAsH site, featuring (in loving memory) the original Bobby “Boris” Pickett!
- Read Wikipedia’s entry on the 1960’s novelty song “The Monster Mash”
- IMDb’s Monster Mash: The Movie (1995) page.
And this site. This is The Halloween Treats Site… home to the best splash page I didn’t click away from! Just go enjoy it. Trust me. I’m using this tonight. In fact… I have to tell you that this site had some wonderful food pictures and ideas. All images in this post are to the utter and absolute credit of this site. I love this site. It’s fractastic, fracalicious, fractabulous and just simply the most fraccing thing around. (I really do love that splash page. Yes. Me. The hater of splash pages. I love it.)
And now… for those of you who are old enough to appreciate this, this is for you!
Enjoy!

And by smashing, I mean fantastic, splendid, awesome, impressive, or to sum it up in one really perfect word…
Fractastic.
I found this pumpkin carving site, and was just stunned at the talent. You’ve got to see the full selection for yourself. It just wouldn’t be Halloween unless you did. I’ve linked several different pages at the site, because there are just so many wonderful things to see I wouldn’t want you to miss any of them. The patterns are difficulty level rated, and honestly… I’ve just not seen another site as great. I blog in awe of the talent at this site.
After browsing the site, I’m thinking of all the possibilities. Watermelons can be carved, big ole cantaloupes and honeydews… eggplants. A person could really frac up their buffet table with some of these wonderful ideas.
Be sure to check this site out.
Fun-Kins (Artificial Pumpkins for lasting carvings)

And it would be Sabrina.
In a twist that none of the judges could comprehend, both Jane and Marie found themselves safe, with Sabrina and Cameron in the bottom two. In the end, it was Sabrina to leave tonight.
While this all seems so shocking, fracas is not shocked. In Monday night’s review, I suggested this very possibility. Sabrina, though having thoroughly impressed the judges, simply does not have the fan base of Marie or Jane… at least not a fan base that is probably watching this show. Having slipped from her usual high-end vote, it was enough to see her going home instead of Cameron… a testament to how it has been the judges that have kept her in these past weeks.
Cameron, though not the strongest dancer, clearly suffered from what Carrie Anne Inaba referred to as Bruno and Len simply not “getting” their choreography. For his sake, I hope it’s a lesson Edyta has learned about taking risks with the choreography of a dancer who is skating on thin ice.
The moment fracas is most relieved about this evening though? That Marie didn’t faint. It appeared she honestly expected to be in that bottom two and when the call came and it was not her… it darn appeared that she would be on the floor again tonight.
The lesson, as pointed out by Bruno? It really is anyone’s game.
