At the Castro Halloween Party last night, the total tally was 7 shot, 1 stabbed, and 1 sexually assaulted. The crowd, estimated to be larger than last year's 300,000, was being dispersed at 10:40pm when shots were fired on the 2200 block of Market Street. Damn, I am glad we were home! This "party" has been ridiculously out of hand for years, even before the stabbings in 2002 that prompted the city to start hosting it. Surely the city is now wondering why it didn't just end the party then. Stay tuned.

Just in time for Halloween! You can make your very own LED Rat Throwie that sticks to metal with magnets (pictured here stuck on the side of a fridge). This will most certainly scare the hell out of the kids that walk up to your front door, as well as all of your family and friends.

Why? Because this project is not for the faint of heart. You will need a soldering kit, two light emitting diodes, some electronics, a battery, and, oh I almost forgot, a dead rat. Yes, in order to make this gag believable you must master the art of mouse taxidermy. The website says "Mice are smaller and easier to work with than rats," so it advises you to try doing this with a mouse first and then graduate to full-size rat sweetness. Thanks, but I'll stick to fake stuffed animals, no thanks.
