A couple of weeks ago, my two eldest sons shared a birthday party and we hired a magician for the party. It was with a little trepidation, because I've seen more than my fair share of awful kid's magicians, but this guy was dynamite. Forget the children, I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. It's like he was channeling Chris Farley.

Anyhow - on the way out, he mentioned that the magician gig was a sideline to his main gig - a whole group of online novelty stores, one of which is OffbeatTreats, crazy candy for the demanding connoisseur - and tonight he sent me this clip. Snot candy, zit poppers, chocolate poop and more - everything you need for a perfect Hallowe'en.

I'm thinking we should get Bob to do a weekly Andy Rooney piece for us.
