. TV preacher Pat Robertson’s Web site has just issued a bulletin warning Americans of the real threat we face this season: Demons may be lurking in our Halloween candy.
In a column on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s Web site, writer Kimberly Daniels asserts that “demons” sneak into bags of Halloween candy at grocery stores.
“[M]ost of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches,” Daniels wrote. “I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.”
The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, urged Robertson and Daniels to lighten up.
“I’ve heard of the devil being in the details, but to think he’s lurking inside a Snickers bar is a little too much,” Lynn quipped. “Pat Robertson has always peddled some scary stuff, but this is over the top.”
Daniels asserts that far from being harmless fun, Halloween is a veritable doorway to hell, full of literal monsters.
“Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats,” she wrote. “It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.”

[Having a large crock full of foamy mead ]
Lol, I’d have to have a large crock of foamy mead to get me to drink a martini, just don’t like them. BUT the chocolate might improve the flavor, lol.
I balleeeeve I’m gonna heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!
There are no witty rejoinders to Alice Cooper. He ends all arguments. Was that you in the picture, dressed as AC? Best costume ever...
Truly. The litter was much tastier than the Tootsies.
See? That’s what I mean!
One thing for sure is you won’t go on a binge with Tootsie Roll martinis.
Which one’s are clove? I realized there are some flavors I can’t actually identify, and never really tried. Didn’t realize one of them was clove.
I continue to be fascinated by the unsealed package phenomenon. That’s something that has virtually disappeared from the face of the nation. My other longtime favorite candy is York peppermint patties, and they used to be in an unsealed foil-paper package (like the little ones that are sold in bulk in a sealed bag), but they switched to a sealed plastic wrapper many years ago. I’m wondering if the sealed package phenomenon has less to do with liability than with the cultural proliferation of nervous-nellie, scary-germs-are-everywhere-and-could-kill-us customers. If so, the Necco maker must have done a little market research and discovered that Necco-lovers don’t fit that mold, and are perfectly happy with the old-fashioned, unsealed (and cheaper to manufacture) packaging. I think we’re a special, common-sensical bunch.
Never knew there was such a drink as chocolate beer. Can’t imagine its taste.
Awesome! I love it! I’ve saved the recipe. And the photo!
Oh, well then I'm off to Walgreen's to get a big ol' bag of 'em right now!
We clean things up; we don't eat them.
Euwwww!!!!
I hope there are some left tomorrow! LOL!
Eat one for me! :D
