Yes, it could get really tricky leaving them in the men's room.
Bring back Samhain! Bring back Saturnalia (Dec. 25th)!
Halloween has been in this country since the middle 1800's when immigrants (Irish?) brought it with them. It's worked just fine all these years. Only in the last 50 our so years has it gotten out of hand. Solution: don't fix Halloween ... fix the idiots taking it out of hand. We have the laws already; it's time to start punishing criminals *effectively* if even *permanently*. I've no desire to slide that slippery slope of "fixing" holidays ...
Yes, but Glenn Danzig really s-cked as a solo artist.
Off by a factor of at least two: it was originally a Celtic/pagan holiday going back thousands of years. The X-ians tried to usurp it's place by introducing a generic 'All Saints Day'. This mandate was quickly co-opted by the recent converts as all Hollow's Eve.
> I'll be handing out goodies to the 100 or so beautiful kids who stop my my house on Halloween.
What about the ugly ones?
Defeat lookism now!
My response is: Lighten up Francis!!!!

Got that right..hey what is up with Bloomberg and the subway threat?
That's a beautiful line. Mind if I steal it?
My family never did Halloween. For a while we'd just have a family night, then later we often would celebrate one of two brothers' birthdays that fell close on either side.
I never felt deprived, but I'll bet that's because my parents didn't try to go halfway on things. Kids are smart enough to see that "Fall Fests" are just Halloween dressed up.
(One church we went to, apparently several teens came as demons to the "fall fest". Hey, it's in the Bible)
Help yourself.
'Mother' was pretty cool. A friend of mine used to describe him as 'Elvis played backwards'.
Is it related to the Mexican Day of the Dead?..........
ARHGGHGHHGHG..why? WHY? WHY? why must the Helen monster be posted?
"What about the ugly ones?

There aren't any. Remember...I live in Minnesota, where everyone is good looking. Above average, too.
Seriously, I missed all the kids so much in my neighborhood in California. We only had a few. Here in Saint Paul, I live in a family neighborhood, and at least 100 kids will come by.
I have an 8' inflatable stack of pumpkins out in front, and will have some other goodies by the 31st. It's great fun, does nobody any harm, and the princesses way outnumber the witches, and Spiderman way outnumbers the devil among the costumes.
Shudder. No candy for you! 8>)
