He's enjoying the cooling weather; no boo's while driving though.
As hideous as the Casket Case is, he still tries on masks at every opportunity.
The big day is getting closer and the goblins are coming out. Look for tasty treats, the return of Wednesday, and Free Delightfully-Deadly-Download Fridays. Also, if you have any interest in hearing more of the story we began on Sunday, you have to speak up. Until next time, I'll be in the boneyard with a shovel and a burlap sack.
How did the term "Night Watchmen" come about? When and where did it start? And where is the rest of 'The De-Canonization of St. Death'?!
ReplyDeleteWatchmen are either law enforcement officers or people appointed to watch for trouble and sound the alarm. I'm assuming a night watchman took the night shift. According to wikipedia(my source for everything), there is a reference to a watch in Ezekiel. I'm sure they've been around as long as people have lived in any kind of society. The rest of St. Death will come along as soon as I write it. We are carrying on a conversation in comment form aren't we?
ReplyDeleteYes we are but it's hot. I thought a "Night Watchman" was someone who was assigned to the graveyard shift to listen to the sound of bells. Way back when, people used to get to where their bodies mocked the signs of death but would later wake up. So their relatives would tie a string around one of there fingers and attach the string onto a bell. So if anyone woke up, the night watchman would be there to dig them right back up. If you think about it, that's gotta be a wealthy way to make a living if you're engraving head stones. Make a lot of money that way. Not that that's a good thing.
