Halloween is a man’s holiday now.

I, for one, welcome our new Halloween overlords.

This is one of the sadder things about Halloween.
You can hardly tell its Halloween here in Stockholm.
People are just fucking up the date, Alex, I’m sure people will be out in force in a week.
Also, if you’re still there then, go out to Skogskyrkogården on Saturday.
Highlights from Halloween in Salem:
Eight people dressed as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Toad, Donkey Kong and Bowser, all with karts hanging from their shoulders, running down the street. At one point Mario pelted Yoshi with a dodge ball painted as a green shell.
A group loudly preaching the Good Word to the sinners celebrating Halloween. During a long screed where he addresses girls dressed as harlots he is tackled by Spider-man who proceeds to mercilessly dry hump him.
Guy dressed as an Alien xenomorph. Such a good costume that people assume he’s a statue. Until he turns and hisses at them, resulting in shrieks.
A guy getting taken down hard by some cops for attempting to take upskirt pics of girls dressed as slutty whatevers. The whole crowd cheered.

I was stuck waiting somewhere for twenty minutes earlier and the only reading material available was a magazine called Redbook. The first thing (and last) thing I read when I opened the magazine was some woman writing to the editor about her sore nipples.
Man, I should come hang out with you on Halloween. Kansas City doesn’t do anything.
There were only, like, seven trick-or-treaters that stopped by my door last night. Probably because there was a 24-degree wind chill and snow flurries as early as 5:00 pm.
No trick or treaters at my home yesterday but a drunk student knocked at my door at 3am so maybe that should count as a tricker?
And before someone asks, no it wasn’t a cute girl.
No trick or treaters here, but that’s because the area of town I live in contains nothing but apathetic students and cracked out townies, neither of which are parent friendly trick or treating targets.

We ran out of candy this year, which is the first time we’ve had that happen.
Guess we’ll need more than 100 or so pieces next year. The rush of kids was pretty amazing.
I put it to you that the human body is not, in fact, designed to give birth. If it was, the process wouldn’t take so damn long.
are you posting that with a cell phone from a hospital bed/option of your choice?
Oh, I’M not the one having the baby. Perish the thought. :) I was just impatient to meet my new niece, and wishing for her mother’s sake that labor was a faster process.
It’s easier for Australians. They actually give birth at three months when babby is smaller, then it crawls into their pouch for the remainder of development and comes out six months later with a boomerang, ready to be weaned on Toohey’s.
I realize that the Zappos logo is meant to be an exclamation point with a Z in the top part of the !, but I donno… looks like a joint to me.

I have a fly living in my room. I guess I must be getting sentimental as I get older, because I have no desire to kill it. I’m actually surprised its still alive, as its been here about a week. I thought about trying to capture it and put it outside, but now that it’s colder that’s essentially a death sentence for the little guy.
I mean, as soon as I turn on my computer he flys over and lands on the corner of the screen. Occasionally he buzzes by my ears, but that’s about it.
Or maybe I need a new cat.

There are crazy people in and around the cafe where I am currently sitting. They have 3 RVs with stuff about the bible and the end of the world on it, as well as shirts proclaiming the end of the world on various dates which have all passed.
