Tundra Bunny said...

What a nasty way to treat your first customers -- couldn't McD's just frame the first Lira or Euro they ever made like every other restaurant?

Bob said...

Yes, to that first one!!
And I love the Sewer Grate Skelly ... and Barboo ... and The Petting Zoo ... and ...

Marie Smith said...

The grate as the rib cage is so creative!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Hahahahahaha!

Boud said...

Near here there's a house with a skeleton that's been up for weeks, about 30' tall. They must have used a crane to install it.

Jamie Ghione said...

The Barboo made me laugh!

Pixie said...

Love that last one:)

Kathy G said...

There's a house near me who puts up a petting zoo like that every year.

There is a McDonalds in Longwood Florida that has a little park next to it and strange path for the drive through. A small cemetery was missed on the initial survey and title search, under Florida law it can't be disturbed for 100 years, Title Insurance bought the land next to the site and paid for the redesign. (My example of why you always buy title insurance in the USA.)

Hahahaha
Barboo? Do want.

XOXO

Leanna said...

These are great. I love the Petting Zoo.

Moving with Mitchell said...

These are excellent. “They all deserved it” made me laugh.

Cleora Borealis said...

Always jealous of neighborhood creativity on Halloween! Tops xmas every year! The gymnastic skeleton, though, is makin' my old back hurt! 👻🎃😟

Lady M said...

Ah the skeletons in the closet - time to let them out for Halloween.

Parnassus said...

Hi Debra, I just looked up the Italian McDonald's. The skeletons on view are cast replicas. In my view just as interesting, and a little more respectful. And you can walk on the section of Roman highway exposed in the basement!

Clever, spooky, funny - these are all good!

gz said...

Love the grating...and the x-ray gymnast

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- Thanks for doing the research I was too lazy to do, hahahaha!

Jenn said...

The best season and always nice to have some laughs and some scares!

Mike said...

The McDonalds should have put one french fry in its hand.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mike -- You are so friggin bad!

Mistress Maddie said...

Some of those are too funny!!!! I saw a scary movie a few months ago....the title escapes me...buy the gamily had an "advent calendar" leading up to Halloween. Each box door revealed a body part.

Jennifer said...

I love them all, but the metal grate ribcage is...*chef's kiss*.

angela said...

Love the clever use of the grid cover and the too late petting zoo lol

Tasker Dunham said...

I like the drain. Must get my chalk out.

Frank said...

roentare said...

The beauty of skeletal humours

Mr. Shife said...

I chuckled out loud at the petting zoo. Thanks for sharing, Debra.

John M said...

Great collection!

Guillaume said...

All very funny ones. I love skeletons. And not only for Halloween or for the macabre: they're for all year round. They keep our body together.

Pattie @ Olla-Podrida said...

I love everything here! I have a fascination for skeletons, not just on Halloween, but year round. In fact, on my birthday wish list is one of those fully anatomical hanging skeletons that you see in medical offices. I really want one of those.

Kirk said...

From a marketing perspective, it makes sense to have a skeleton at a McDonald's: "See, our food doesn't make you fat!"

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Kirk -- "Might kill ya though, but it won't make ya fat!" Hahahahaha

Katerinas Blog said...

I laughed a lot where the skeleton is dancing (thank you very much, I haven't laughed much lately).
Have a beautiful weekend, Debra🧡

Fundy Blue said...

Hilarious, Debra! Just what I needed, a bit laugh!

Ur-spo said...

Every time I go to Joanns to get some sewing something or other a small skeleton follows me home.

This N That said...

Busy Bee Suz said...

Wait, who would go to Italy and eat at a McDonalds?

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Busy Bee Suz -- Good point, LOL!
