Halloween is over, but one streak of face paint always survives three showers and shows up to work on Monday like it got invited. Mine is glitter, and I did not even wear glitter. The best memes today land here fresh every night, and an earlier Nightcap from this week is still up if you skipped one. Scrub what you can, then settle in.

The best memes today, served after dark

That is the last one, and I am going to bed with a little orange still behind my ear. The Morning Commute picks things up tomorrow, and the next Nightcap brings more funny memes tomorrow night. If you still have costume energy left, the funny kids Halloween costumes are worth a look, and so are the Sunday memes for anyone already dreading the alarm. If one of these got a real laugh out of you, pass it to the person who would laugh even louder.
