Trick-or-Treater 15

For the last three years I've posted a spook a day for the ten days leading up to Halloween. This year I'm upping it to fifteen. (To tell the truth, very little differentiates these from what I put up the rest of the year.) Here's trick-or-treater #15.

Thought I'd start a new category for older things that never got posted, either because I didn't think they were good enough or because I couldn't think of anything nice (or awful) to say about them. They may not be and I still can't.

Although, this one does resemble a piñata dervish.

Big Daddy Lips

Eugene Lipscomb. 6' 6", 300 pound defensive tackle for late fifties Colts, also Rams and Steelers. Mad junkie lineman who could move and hit like nobody's business. "I just wrap my arms around the whole backfield and peel 'em one by one until I get to the ball carrier. Him I keep." Wrestled on the side. OD'd at 31.
