Halloween
« on: October 31, 2011, 10:00:29 AM »
So what is everyone doing for Halloween?

I saw some kids walk up the other side of the street a while ago trick or treating. The next time they come to my house i will be all ready for them. The shotgun is fully loaded and sitting by the door... :uzi:
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

It's been a bit weird here (Helloween). For the last few weeks shops (even my local supermarket) have been promoting it, even to a point they had decorations and whatnot. Id never seen anything like it for Helloween here in Victoria, and yesterday there was a few parades around Melbourne, but now today, actual Helloween, and Ive seen  neither head nor hide of it. Even the shops have taken thier decorations down.
It was like everyone celebrated 1 day early. Pretty strange, none less so when Helloween really isnt usually celebrated here much at all in the first place.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

We had over 100 kids come through and had to run down to the shops for more bags of candy twice after already being stocked up on it.

Here's the Jack o' lantern we carved this year:

We don't even tip waiters and waitresses why the f### are we adopting the American tradition of having kids go begging at strangers doors?  It's just so wrong in many ways.  Yes the fancy dress is fun, but the whole Autumn in Spring thing is just silly down here.

I think the whole thing started with the elimination of the penny, no longer could kids go around asking for a "penny for the Guy" and they started looking towards America for inspiration.

What's the point of carving those unnaturally yellow pumpkin squashes during the Spring planting season?

Kim and I plan on taking Terry out tonight after dinner. She's having a parade at school and then a little party. She'll also have a party at the after school program she goes to.

Here's our pumpkin for this year:

Yeah, that's because our pixel artist Rebel cut his face off after I scooped his guts out.

Bloodletting and praying to my ancestors... ..well I will be once I've popped out for some nibbles and incense.

No such holiday around here, even though some large corporations would for sure want us to have one.

There's of course the all saints' day. Around here the tradition is to light candles and visit the graves of deceased relatives.

Praying to the one and only God, same as every other day.

If I get time to dig them out I might offer visitors c64 tapes.

I doubt kids these days will know what a cassette tape is never mind a c64.
As for me, our lights are off in the house (trick or treater repellent).
If you do answer the door anyone, ask them for a trick.
