REA catalog just arrived…. almost as fun as the old time Sears Christmas

[Kawika]

Have picked up some dandy things from REA over the years and always look forward to their catalogs. Thought I might miss this one on account of I live in Canada and am having to abide a postal strike. I was happy to learn via an email from Brian Dwyer hisself that the catalog was shipped UPS and should get here next week. Take heart, fellow Canada dwellers.

Yeah, maybe went a little overboard with the Halloween Costume this year… but since the story wasn’t out yet, this was a fun release!

That costume is amazing and hysterical.

Absolutely great job.

Thanks... we have fun around the Gross household. And we take Halloween pretty seriously!

(this life size Morehouse Ruth card costume/box is making its reappearance tonight at our "auction watch party" - consigner and I and our wives get to raise a toast and see how it's all starting off - ya gotta love this hobby)

I didn't realize the Babe had murderous tendencies.

Hey Snowman!

The Halloween theme was “Myths and Legends” and Mrs Gross here was Bloody Bloody Mary, which apparently is a kids myth tied to saying Bloody Bloody Mary into the mirror at midnight… or something like that.

The scariest thing about this is you called me "Snowman." What a horrific thing to do!!!! You, my friend, are scarier than Bloody Mary.

Mary, Queen of Scots was known as 'Bloody Mary" for her proclivity of having opponents' heads cut off.

It's a common mistake, but Bloody Mary was Queen Mary I of England who reigned from 1553-1558. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon and she was succeeded by Elizabeth I (her half sister).

Mary, Queen of Scots was Queen of Scotland from 1542-1567.

And that is probably the least likely post to ever appear on this board .
