I was out in Flushing, Queens, yesterday when I found this Pharmacy that is already decorating for Christmas! They've started on the side of a shelf, but I don't think they're gonna go much further with it. It's tasteful, and rustic, if you ask me. Maybe a little confusing. Saying screw it to the whole Halloween ruckus takes guts. I think you just have to applaud that.

They've started on the side of a display shelf. My gut tells me that they're not gonna go much further with it.
Hey, it's tasteful, and rustic. Maybe a little confusing, but so what. They're just passing over Halloween, not
doing what everybody else does. You just have to applaud that. |

DETAIL: a 2X4, 2 kinds of vintage wrapping paper and some of that brick cray paper that my
mom used to make a pretend-chimney out of my dad's liquor cabinet |
And that's not all. The interior decorator really hooked this place up.

Security mirror blocks "esc". I don't get, but I know I should be getting it, and that's how you know something is cool. |

In the back of my mind, through some dewey decimal catalogue of stuff I've stocked up in my brain using my peripheral vision, I guess I've seen Hongo Killer before. Hongo Killer fights foot, toe, and nail fungus. |

But I do know that I've NEVER seen this little guy before! The Hongo Killer mascot! Part Smurf, part Disney Gremlin, part construction worker. What a man! Disney Gremlins were little sprites from a 50's cartoon, based on a book by Roald Dahl. Look them up. |
