We prepare to pillage for candy!
No one got my costume’s reference. So sad.

- Thursday Morning Linkage » Duck of Minerva - [...] Duck Kudos® to the first person to identify the source of my “cow-with-halberd” costume. Note: Duck Kudos® are non-transferrable, non-redeemable,…
a cow with a battle axe = ?
More or less. My slapdash costume is a cow wielding a halberd. The reference is ultra-geeky.
For some reason, I didn’t make the connection until you said ‘halberd’. A Secret Cow Level cow!
Almost ran over three grim reapers last night – it was like being in a Terry Pratchett book.
This note is probably unnecessary (esp. since I don’t have a Gravatar), but for the record, LC and LFC are two different people. Just in case anyone was idly wondering.
hello LFC :-)
