Are you sure? What do courier, pink, monkey, sand, software, cushion and marmalade have to do with Halloween? And why do they have "butt" twice?

leaven the pudding
The yeast, of course, supplying alcohol as well as carbon dioxide. Hence the expression "the proof is in the pudding".

Come now, Faldage - the proof is in the eating, if I remember my adages correctly.

Far be it from me to second-guess or even try to explaing anything Faldage says, Rhuby, but I believe he is making a pun on a misquote.

Need a rope, Rhuby?
Or don't you hear that particular mangling of the cliché in your part of the world?

Well, I guess they had to "leaven the pudding", so to speak.Need a rope, Faldage? So to speak...meaning the phrase was intentional. Inventing your own nits to pick now? Things must be slow on the nit-farm! "The proof is in the pudding" has nothing remotely to do with "leaven the pudding", semantically...maybe "leaven the loaf". The phrase you imply is somehow biblically required here never even entered my mind. Double "huh"? Stabbing at straws, now, aren't we? (yeah, I know...the common phrase is "grasping" at straws). But you're stabbing at straws in the dark.

Need a rope?
Sure thing, Juan. Don't even need the whole thing. Just toss one end up here, I don't even care which end, and I'll give you a pull on up out the directment, there.
