SPAAACE!!!

It happens to the best of us: Sometimes, you just run out of room.

The test of a true wreckerator, however, is how creatively you manage to soldier on in the face of seemingly insurmountable icing borders.

Ok, so maybe they're not all that insurmountable.

In fact, here are a few more tried and true tactics employed by wreckerators everywhere:

The Nose Dive:

(Cartoon bomb noises optional.)

The Double Stack:

Now with extra ellipses!

The "Round Abound:"

The color choice is what really sells it.

The Second Time's the Charm:

Also known as the "Maybe No One Will Notice."

The Cliff-Hanger:

"Y! Hold on, Y! I can't...you're...you're slipping! Y!! NOOOoooOOOOooOOO!!"

Ahem.

And finally, my personal favorite:

The "Stop, Walk (Away), and LOL."

Thanks to Leigh M., Brenda S., Holly H., Ariel F., Victoria M., Mike S., Jenny B., and Lauren L. for really exploring the studio space.  Before we're done here, you'll all be wearing gold-plated diapers.

P.S. I've been looking for extra non-candy treats to give the neighborhood kids this Halloween, and found these fun light-up rings:

LED Halloween Party Favor Rings, 50pcs

You get 50 for $20, so they're a great option to have on hand for kids with food allergies, or even as an extra to go with the candy!

Halloween Tips

The big day is coming, people, so before you hit the streets to go trick-or-treating, here are some useful "guidelines" for having a safe and scream-worthy night:

Never accept rides from strangers.

Especially if you see fingers hanging out of the trunk.

 Wear reflective clothing:

Or just something so unbelievably hideous that people won't be able to NOT notice you. You know, like Crocs and a Speedo. (As a bonus: EVERYONE will want your picture!)

Watch out for roving gangs of lower-case Ms:

They're vicious this time of year. VICIOUS.

If you're trying to scare someone, don't yell "Boo!" It's not scary enough. 

Instead yell, "SCARY BOO!"

It also helps if you throw spiders at them.

Never assume you know what someone's costume is. 

 One person's Elvis is another's Dracula, and you really don't need that kind of awkwardness.

"I vant choo to stay off of my blue svade shoos! Muah! Ah! Ah!"

ALWAYS SAY "THANK YOU."

Even if they give you crap candy like generic lollipops and little bags of candy corn*:

*Actual candy we will be giving out on Halloween. Plus little boxes of Milk Duds. Y'all come by, y'hear?

And try to look grateful when you're saying "thank you," too -  not like this:

"This is my happy face."

Lastly, and mostly importantly...

BEWARE THE TOILET PAPER TERROR:

He also goes by "The Spirit of Gasses Past."

Thanks to Carly T.,  Leah K., Catherine S., Chryss A., Kris D., Chris B., Brianna M., Denil B., & Jennifer G. for really wiping the floor with these wrecks.

Years ago John and I served a magical Pensieve Potion at one of our parties, and the shimmer dust I used to make it has been a top seller in my Amazon shop ever since. THIS STUFF IS SO FUN, y'all:

Super Pearl Shimmer Dust, Super

I prefer the Super Pearl over a color, because then you can add a drop of food coloring to make any or ALL the colors. You only need the tiniest bit even for a big punch bowl, so the little container should last you several parties, easy.
