Replacing Honda Taillight

About a year ago, I had another encounter with my car's great engineering solutions to simple problems.

I had to replace the right hand tail light assembly.  The part was easy to come by.  I got a new, OEM part on Amazon that fit my car and was much cheaper than getting it from the dealer.

This is my car's tail light:

Many years ago, I had to replace a tail light on an old Chrysler LeBaron.  On that car, the operation took maybe 10 minutes.  I had to open the trunk lining, unscrew a few screws, disconnect the lights, and replace the light assembly.  Very easy.
On my Civic, this operation starts with the same steps, but requires removing the rear bumper cover, because the light is connected to the car body with a bracket that is accessible only when the bumper is removed.  Very annoying.
This took me over an hour to complete, because getting the bumper off is awkward, especially without experience doing so.

I found a helpful YouTube video that shows how this can be done:



As can be seen in the video, the task is not too bad if you are an experienced mechanic, but for me, a lay person, it was quite a task.

Pink Gorilla Costume

I was looking around and found this funny costume:


The two pictures look different, but I suspect that they are in fact either the same costume or are very similar.
The pink color looks different, and the feet seem to have more fur on the lighter colored costume.

This costume is adult sized, and is sold by a number of sellers.
