I have the day off tomorrow, so there will still be one more post for the last few Glenn stragglers on Thursday, but I don’t think there are many more that I haven’t photographed already. I was really disappointed that I didn’t get much free time tonight at work to knock out some more.
Priorities. I gots ’em.
But mostly, this is it. The Last of the Glennhicans.
More Cowbell Glenn (requested by my friend Chris who doesn’t work with me but has greatly delighted my co-workers with this one!
), Tippi Hedren/The Birds Glenn, Monopoly Banker Glenn, Miss Piggy Glenn, Charles Manson Glenn, Walmart Greeter Glenn
Mama Cass Glenn, Magnum P.I. Glenn, Conan Glenn, Astronaut Glenn, Marie Antoinette Glenn (this one was a gigantic bomb), The Shining Glenn
Candy Striper Glenn, Just Married Glenn, Octomom Glenn, King Kong Glenn (for Tyler, one of the envied Law Firm escapees), Dorothy Glenn, Malibu Glenn (for Heather)
The Beatles Glenn, Glenny Appleseed, Shark Attack Glenn
There are only a handful left in the big giant Glenn dispenser for people to pick tomorrow. I’m sad I won’t be there! But then I remember it’s work, and suddenly I’m OK with having the day off.

Also new for this week was Candy the Clown’s stomach contents, which was a big fail.
I had Henry make a big batch of slime, and then I added paper clips.
Because that is what Glenn the Clown made Candy choke on, you see. Paper clips. Someday I will explain the paper clip obsession.

(Big ups to Sandy for procuring this prime piece of Glenn real estate for me!)
Glenn is getting married on Saturday, so today we celebrated his upcoming nuptials at work with cake and champagne. Barb and I devised a way to keep the Glenn Defacement Project going past Halloween without pissing off the bosses. Pretty pleased about that.

Seriously, we sit here at work and laugh like lunatics over the tiniest Glenn. The Glennspiration never ends!! For instance, today I made a Zsa Zsa Gabor Glenn and as soon as someone picks him, he’s going right up next to Crooked Cop Glenn. I saved him a spot.
If there’s a Glenn you’d like to see, please leave your suggestions! I’ll be making these until Halloween! (Octavia, if you’re reading this, I made you a Stay Puft Glenn, but either no has gotten it yet, or it’s being HOARDED.)

Last night, Henry and I were sitting on the couch, watching “Vampire Diaries.” I was also diligently making new Glenns and suggested that Henry make one too.
“Bitch, please! I’m too busy waiting to see if Damon takes off his shirt!” Henry hissed at me.
Seriously, Henry has admitted that Damon is The Hottest Vampire of All Time. I posted that on Facebook and all these broads started yelling at Henry for being wrong. It was pretty funny. For me, at least.
Way to end on a non-Glenn-related note.
9 commentsPost Mortem Pics and More Glenns
Joy found two old Jesus and Mary portraits at her grandfather’s house and, knowing my gravitation toward things of a religious icon nature, brought them into work for me.
While I was admiring them, Debby came over to my desk and started telling me a story about her great-grandma’s house and how it had a legit parlor room where people were laid out.
“So now I have a big box in my attic full of pictures of dead people,” she finished.
HOLD UP WAIT A SECOND.
“You mean like this,” I asked, pulling open my desk drawer and extracting a photo of some dead dude.
(Yes, I keep post-mortem photos in my desk. Helps motivate me.)
“Um…yeah actually. Just like that,” Debby stammered, clearly not expecting me to have that.
She said she doesn’t want them, but doesn’t like throwing away pictures of people. So now I’m trying to get her to give me the box.
God, I can’t believe she’s known me since May and waited THIS LONG to tell me her dark secret.

In other work happenings, the thrill of collecting Glenns hasn’t yet fizzled like I thought it would. In fact, Chooch has jumped on the bandwagon and wants to make Glenns all the time at home now.
Chooch is still really into Japanese horror, so he made a Ju-On Glenn, which absolutely no one will figure out on their own. He was in the middle of making one Saturday night, but it was time to leave for a haunted hayride.
“But I’m not done with my Strawberry Shortcake Glenn!” he wailed, which is totally weird because the other day I was going to make a Strawberry Shortcake Glenn but got distracted. WHAT ARE THE ODDS.
Amish, DJ Lance, Harry Potter Glenn.
Literally only 2 people have recognized this as Robert Smith Glenn. God, get with it, Law Firm.
Jesus, Phantom of the Opera, Native American, Bieber Glenn.
“I don’t think you should do a Jesus Glenn,” Barb said at the exact moment I dropped the vending capsule containing Jesus Glenn into the clown head. I guess because Sue vetoed Barb’s desire to do an Hasidic Jew Glenn. But it was too late, Jesus Glenn was already inside the clown head, lost amonst the other plastic balls. “Well, maybe just tell whoever gets it to not hang it up,” she advised.
But George, who gets all the good Glenns, got Jesus Glenn and it went right up on the wall. I pointed it out to Barb today and she mumbled, “Yeah, I saw.” Clearly, she’s harboring a little resentment!
Juice Head Glenn and Pinocchio Glenn!
Little Red Riding Hood (Brad’s suggestion) and Jack-in-the-Box Glenn. Even with the “Yay grandma!”, some people are still having a hard time figuring out Little Red Riding Glenn. :(
Today, Chris got Kato Kaelin Glenn (basically looks like a broad in a blazer but it amused me immensely to draw it) but refuses to put it on the wall with the other Glenns because he wants them all for himself. When Jamie found this out, she marched into his office and schooled him.
“At least put the Kato Kaelin Glenn on the wall!” I pleaded when Chris walked by a few minutes later.
“Kato Kaelin Glenn…do I have that one?”
Barb gave him a weird look. “Um, you JUST got that one like five minutes ago,” she said.
He doesn’t even know which Glenns he has! What a Glenn-collecting poser!
He’s still hoarding them though.
Otherwise, my life goes like this: haunted houses, haunted houses, haunted trails, haunted hayrides, haunted hayrides, haunted houses, pie party.
I have a tough life.

I’m so happy that the Glenn Dispenser (as dubbed by A-Ron) is a hit! (Above is a close-up of the clown head’s mouth, where all the fun is.) It makes me laugh to hear my work friends asking each other, “Which Glenn did you get??” And when Lee found out George got the coveted Juggalo Glenn, he whined, “George always gets the good Glenns!
”
I added a bunch more Glenns to the mix today, including Rainbow Brite Glenn, Swoop-era Bieber Glenn, Furry Glenn, and “Carrie” Glenn.
Today, Glenn’s prize capsule contained a fortune.
“Wow. How deep,” he mumbled after reading it, but really I think he was disappointed that he didn’t get a Himself.
Carnival Desk!

Finally, we got the approval to decorate for Halloween again this year! I’ve known since last October what I was going to do this year.
Last year’s was so graphic and murder-y, so I decided to go a different route: clowns. It seems like most of the department are coulrophobic! And it just so happens I have a few clowns in my collection.
Henry and I had a huge fight about the fabric. I’m sorry but fabric stores are gross! I didn’t want to be there at all, and I threw a massive fit about how ridiculous it was that I couldn’t find striped fabric.
“You only looked in one rack!” Henry cried, whic prompted me to scathe, “Oh, don’t you talk to me that way!
” and storm out of the store. Sunday was a fabulous day!
(Obviously, I sent him back out for the fabric.)
(The randomly jutting clown shoe scares Brad.)
So, one of the first components I began working on last week was defacing pictures of Glenn.
Watching me turn Glenn into a Juggalo, Lee asked, “What started your beef with Glenn, anyway?”
This gave me pause. You know, I can’t be certain exactly what happened, but I know that he sassed me one time. And for that, he will forever be my joke-pony.
Anyway, the seedling of my idea was to get a bunch of those prize machine capsules and fill it with candy and a picture of Glenn (collect them all!).
Crooked Cop Glenn!
Stripper Glenn!
I also made a bunch of department-centric fortunes. My favorite is: Never underestimate the power of a Barb Riley Nastygram.
So I did all of these things, ordered those plastic vending capsules in bulk, and then thought to myself, “WTF am I putting these in?” Certainly not just a random bowl. So I made a beachball-sized paper mache clown head (with Henry’s help—I’m not allowed to use the hand mixer). It took all weekend and was one of the most frustrating projects of my life (hi, I hate crafts, remember?), but I am so in love with him now! My babe!
It’s surprising to me how many people either hesitated or flat out refused to put their hand in his mouth, like I am so untrustworthy! Barb is so thrilled she gets to stare at the back of his bald head all day.
And what goes along with carnivals and circuses? Side show freaks!
Carey as the Tattooed Lady! A Fiji Mermaid!
Midget pacifier-sucking Brad! Bloody circus peanuts!
Ringmaster A-ron!
Chris and Lee, Ultimate Law Firm Bromance! (Lee is so angry and traumatized about this.)
;
Moustache and beard lollipops!
Fiji Mermaid up close!
Barb the Contortionist!
Random babies in a bottle!
So, this is why I haven’t been writing much on here lately: I’ve got a one-track mind!
Mostly, it’s been received very positively. I mean, it’s fun! It’s interactive! It’s mean-spirited toward Glenn (who secretly loves it)! Even some people who don’t usually talk to me have stopped to appreciate it. I just hope that the few anti-fun people here don’t get upset and complain.
But if last year’s Murder Desk was allowed to carry on throughout the entire month, I don’t see why this one can’t, too.
I still have some more things to do, but one thing’s for sure: all the clown haters sure do love me right now.
