To wish those gross fake fingers would disappear off the side bar already?

They are making me feel queasy, and I feel like I have been averting my eyes from them for days now.

Can't we have something nice to look at instead?

YY to that - far too realistic!

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 16/10/2014 18:17

I know. Vile, aren't they?

FishWithABicycle · 16/10/2014 18:17

here here!

TranquilityofSolitude · 16/10/2014 18:18

Yes, me too!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 16/10/2014 18:19

I have to look, kind of like a road accident or a sporn thread... Urgh

TranquilityofSolitude · 16/10/2014 18:19

Sorry, YADNBU!

Jackiebrambles · 16/10/2014 18:20

Urg, me too. Yanbu!

WeirdCatLady · 16/10/2014 18:20

Yup, hideous

ILovePud · 16/10/2014 18:23

I'm ashamed to say I've been looking at them and wanting to eat them, are they kind of cheesy pastry things with almonds on? That's what I've been imagining anyway Mmmmm.

JumpAndTwist · 16/10/2014 18:26

I have actually avoided MN because of them. Maybe they could be marketed as an anti-procrastination measure.

littlejohnnydory · 16/10/2014 18:35

Bloody horrible, I've been wishing for an 'I don't want to see this' button a la facebook.

FelineLou · 16/10/2014 18:38

I find them horrible and want them gone. Hallowe'en is an American festivity. I was going to start a thread about this Fingers begone!

Newcollection · 16/10/2014 18:39

They're horrible and I can see them out of the corner of my eye as I type.

I loathe Halloween.

I adblocked them, they're awful. They make my fingers hurt.

Flexibilityisquay · 16/10/2014 18:41

You're right, they are grim!

ADishBestEatenCold · 16/10/2014 18:42

Funny seeing this thread ... I actually just watched the video of how to make them!

Now I've got to ask how do you pronounce 'almond'?

I pronounce the 'a' as 'ah', so almond *to rhyme with balm, calm etc.

Watching this video is the first time I've heard the 'a' of almond pronounced as 'o', so allmond to rhyme with ball, all, etc.

nemno · 16/10/2014 18:44

I slide my gaze past them now. As an ad it is failing to attract!

ditavonteesed · 16/10/2014 18:48

most cool, wondering if I could rustle some up. I love halloween though.

Al - mond.

But it doesn't rhyme with all or ball. More like the name Al, and then Mond.

brunette123 · 16/10/2014 18:56

Revolting.

Sandthorn · 16/10/2014 18:58

YANBU.

poolomoomon · 16/10/2014 18:58

I used to say it how it's spelt- al-mond but I heard somewhere I don't remember that the L is silent and it's actually ah-mond so have been saying that since mortified at how wrong I've been saying it all these years of course.

Yabu about the fingers, I had to go on the desktop site to see them on my phone and what a fab idea! Shall be making those for sure Wink. Lurve Halloween.

Showy · 16/10/2014 18:59

The l is silent. Al mond is a mispronunciation.

Anyway, fingers? What fingers? Is this a group hallucination?
