    I worked at a variety of retail stores in my younger days...and all the 'unique' customers would come in on nights when there was a full moon...

    "Hi, can I help you find something?"
    "Yes, I would like to put the Highlander sword on layaway"
    "ok sure, let me fill out a form...First name?"
    "Duncan"
    "alrighty...last name?"
    "MacLeod"
    "Duncan MacLeod?" :?
    "Yes"
    "ok, we require a 50% deposit, how would you like to pay?"
    "with a credit card...here. Wanna see my ID?" (the customer is very excited and wide eyed now)
    "uhh...sure"

    so he hands me his ID and credit card...yup, name matches...and he says (proudly) "I had my name legally changed!"

    :|

    LARPers were ALWAYS in asking questions about whatever we had in...3 different specific stores too.

    Halloween was always....um....interesting. I always got stuck handing out candy to the kiddies, and we were 'encouraged' to dress up if we worked on Halloween...to make it more 'inviting' for families at the mall.

    When we got a rash of weird cases in the Emergency Department, we figured it was due to the cycle of the moon. But that didn't explain all the other weeks in which we had weird stuff going on.

    She didn't answer. Just sat there, totally silent. Very frustrating for the psychiatrist who had to come and do an evaluation.

    My diagnosis? "Crazy."

    Wish I could remember if it was a full moon or not.

    Pfffft. It's been pouring here so can't see the full moon.

    Weird stuff that's happened: Absolutely nothing.

    Which I think is very, very weird.

    My kids are driving me crazy! They get a little unmanageable around the full moon, but when you combine the moon with Halloween candy...well let's just say I have wine rack well stocked to help me get through the weekend ;)

    Just made my love a bowl of bean soup, cleaned up and took a walk outside by the lake and took a good look up at the clear night skies. The moon out here in this horse country of South Florida is bright and beautiful and that bright looking star over to the top right corner I believe is Jupiter surounded by it's moons.

    I tried imaginig myself on the moon looking down on this planet making at least half of it bright at night and how beautiful this blue marble could look. That's too kool to imagine. 8-)

    EARTHSHINE...by RUSH

    On certain nights
    When the angles are right
    And the moon is a slender crescent

    Its circle shows
    In a ghostly glow
    Of earthly luminescence

    Earthshine
    A beacon in the night
    I can raise my eyes to
    Earthshine
    Earthshine
    A jewel out of reach
    Form a dream to rise to
    Earthshine

    Floating high
    In the evening sky
    I see my faint reflection

    Pale facsimile
    Like what others see
    When they look in my direction

    Earthshine
    Stretching out your hand
    Full of starlit diamonds
    Earthshine

    Reflected light
    To another's sight
    And the moon tells a lover's story

    My borrowed face
    And my third-hand grace
    Only reflect your glory

    You're still out of reach
    Form a dream to rise to
    Earthshine

    Ah, but I live in a house with four kids, and I have yet to notice them act any crazier around a full moon versus a new moon. :mrgreen:

    Perhaps its just the candy... won't be able to test the theory in December, kids are crazy because of Christmas. I will see what they are like in January.

    I love all of the connotations of "full moon" :D

    And I think this phrase from the article you linked - the moon's perigee - is just beautiful.

    Lilting, soft.

    Ironically unlike the moon itself.

    But more than that, there is something, something...exhilarating and humbling...about when it appears to be overtaking the sky, overtaking me. Not something that happens often and so its rarity makes it that much more precious to me.

    A sweet pull, that wondrous "holy SHIT".

    I hope it's clear enough out here this weekend that we can revel in it.
