Rance in the Pants: Scary Corn!

Tradition! Tonight was the sometimes annual corn ma(i)ze outting. We had 21 people with us this time and there was fun to be had. When we initially planned the trip there was talk of going out early to take part in the daylight fun they had...such as picking apples, launching apples in a catapult, and picking pumpkins. What we didn't think of was that we were going on 10/29. All of the apples were gone, as were the pumpkins. Martin and his girlfriend were the only ones who showed up early to partake in the nothing that was available.

When we got there, there was a huge line. Luckily the last car of our people trickled in right as we reached the front. But we didn't reach the front before having the idiot twins (pictured below) decide that it was wrasslin' time.

Remember being a kid and breaking into impromptu wrestling out in public? Me either. So we got into the maze. We decided it would be best to split into groups of 4 people. Everyone agreed. Our group had about 10 people. America! I had a map and was bad ass at knowing where we were in the maze, so everyone followed me. The first half was just a maze, the second half was haunted.

In the haunted part we found some hilarity in the scares...such as:
-crossing paths with people from our group and shortly after hearing a chainsaw sound we found Gillian face down on the ground.
-a grim reaper on stilts came out of nowhere and got me and our group pretty good, but then he took a miscalculated step and stumbled into the corn thus earning him the name "Prat Fall Death".
-a short person with a mask tried to scare us and failed. This person walked backwards in front of me....just looking at me...and when I still didn't react he turned to scurry down the path...but he ran straight into the corn. Someone in our group called this person Robert and gave them a pep talk about scaring people.
-The scare crow. When I saw the scare crow I said out loud "Oh crap, I forgot about this one." I took my camera out. It is set to red-eye so it flashes multiple times. On the first flash, the scare crow was there and then pounced. Below is what I captured in the final flash.

...nothing but a hat. He got us all really good.

This is still the scare crow following our group around. It's not scary in a well lit photo. But in the dark when you're with people you know, only to find out that one person you think you know is actually still that scare crow? That's the stuff that scares Robyn, Deanna, and Mary.
