Halloween CIDUs

… and some non-CIDUs



The joke is clear, if hackneyed by now, but what would the kids tip? A 20% trick?

This execution of the same joke is a bit clearer, since it’s the kid asking for money.


Not so much a CIDU as “way too much work”. Post individual clue solutions in the comments. FYI, complete solution is here.


This one tripped me up, because I assumed a Pumpkin Spice Latte only had the spices used in pumpkin pie. This used to be true: introduced in 2003, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte contained only the spices, and no pumpkin. That made sense. Who thinks steak sauce has steak in it? or shrimp sauce has shrimp in it? Or awlspice has an awl in it? But, in response to complaints, in 2015 they reformulated to add some pumpkin puree. That was really unnecessary, because a bit of pumpkin puree adds little taste. But this does mean Blazek’s joke actually works.


Not a CIDU, but definitely an Ewww.


Not a CIDU, either, but cute.


And one last nod to Peanuts:




And, finally, an OY

Maybe we need a “Yeah, right!” tag.

I’m probably not the only one who had to look this term up:

Definitely a Geezer Alert on this one. ASCII art was a big deal in the age of dot matrix printers and fanfold paper: printing out pinups was a rite of passage, along with “Happy Birthday” banners. These are from the ASCII art studio.

Dirk the Daring sends this in: “Not a CIDU, but this can’t possibly be a coincidence, right?  I’d guess Mr. Pett is knowledgeable about music. At least one commenter besides me noticed it.”




Not every day is an exciting day, even if you are a superhero.

Background: Amazon, controlled by bald billionaire Jeff Bezos, now owns the Bond movie franchise.



This reminds me of this video from Dr. Glaucomflecken:

[Yes, he is actually a doctor licensed in the US, and has some serious YouTube videos related to his specialty (ophthalmology), but he has a bigger audience for his comedy.]

Just a touch of CIDU perhaps…




CIDU note: So what was their plan? Or is it merely a non-coordination mixup. The usual TV story would be that they planned to go to town and do something wild.
