I want to be Ripley when I grow up.

For Halloween.  He's nine and determined: he decided months ago and it is up to me to make it happen.   Lookingup

Yes: I am one of those fools who makes my kids' costumes - and I don't really sew.  (Not that a Dalek requires sewing - a glue gun, yes.)

We've been saving the little plastic cups from his lunches since last April. Now I Just need to find the right 'dome' for the top.

Aside from the logistical challenges inherent in the costume - we're rural and he has to be taken around in a car - joy - I have to admit to a certain pleasant anticipation when I picture him threatening the neighbours with a plunger.  BounceGiggle

Oh well: could be worse. His sister could have wanted to be a Cyberman...but she has opted for Vampira instead.   Thank heaven for small mercies!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
