Ways NOT to Make a Christmoween Snowman

1. Try to use unpackable fine powder snow, drier than the Sahara
2. Come up with 'ingenious' method to harden said snow using water
3. Fail to spot-test fake blood on snow to see if in fact it will resemble blood, or merely turn into a viscous goo upon contact
4. Continue meddling even as ingenious snow shatters upon every slight touch.
5. Go to bed instead of committing ritual suicide, as honor demands

So, yeah.  A bit down this morning.  If it even survives the harsh light of dawn, I might take pictures of my Ozymandian disaster out there, just for posterity.

But don't count on it.
