Happy Halloween everybody!




Sadly,....

I have zero in the way of celebration going on this year, which for me, is a huge travesty.

Unfortunately work has once again gotten in the way of anything and to be truthful, I'm just not in the mood this year so I'm just gonna sit this one out.

On November first, however, I'm going to adopt a play from the Jack Skellington playbook and loudly proclaim, "Only 364 days left until NEXT Halloween", as I break out the glue gun and start working towards next October 31st.

So then, the best I can offer you is this very "Halloweenish" picture of my cat!

I know what you mean compadre. I too am sitting out my favorite holiday (tied with Christmas). I am making a cool space helmet today for my son's science class tomorrow.

Happy Halloween, back at ya.

I applaud your choice.

Happy Halloween, my friend.

I'll be listening to all night ghost stories on Coast to Coast AM.

Well,....that and Mike Molloy until 9pm.

I feel like a kid stuck inside practicing violin while the rest of you go out and play!

Someone who loves neither the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain nor The feast of all saints, THAT'S who, my dear friend who is here as late as I am tonight.

Yes mum, that's the one you had coffee with.

Thanks, Claudia, and welcome to the blog! I'll pass on the compliment to the cat, (his name's Sith and/or GQ Kitty). :)

Hey mum,...what'd I say earlier tonight? You can't go to Salem on Halloween anymore.

Molly actually called me and told me about it. I ended up having to go but I'm gonna call her for a better version of the story tomorrow.

And again on the subject of Salem,....the last thing I'm gonna do is drive an astronomically expensive classic 1959 Cadillac ambulance through a crowd of 60,000 drunken louts, nere-do-wells and flithy reprobates.

All it would take is one of the little clowns jumping up onto the hood and you'd be posting bail for this Ghostbuster, (and probably Paul as well). >:)

Swat teams in Salem on Halloween. This has been some year hasn't it? Good Lord it can't come to a close quick enough. I can't wait to see the ass-end of 2006 receding swiftly in the rear view mirror.

My son the "Unknown Phantom" had two trick or treat sessions with two sets of friends. He had a great time. My daughter "Karate Girl" had been fighting a bout of stomach flu and we thought she was good to go for the festivities, but she ended up yacking again right before going out. She begged Mom to take her out, and she made it for about a real short time before I went to pick her up.

Here is a link to the space helmet I ended up "kit-bashing" with a bunch of stuff I had:

For some reason, voting day out here is November 7th.

BTW,....When Kerry said "if you study and work hard, you can do well, if not,....you end up in Iraq."

He was referring to King George.

I knew that the second I heard the clip and I also knew exactly how the republicans were going to spin it.

I bet that walking turd Limbaugh had a field day with it.

Geez, it sounds like most of y'all had a bummer of a Halloween! Thanks to "Ma's" description though, I got to laugh myself silly at the thought of poor Molly in the midst of the "War on Gang-Related Violence" (one war of many we're fighting these days).
Sean is right. You can't go anywhere near Salem in October anymore. They've turned it into "Sundance". Once they've totally squeezed the life out of that gorgeous little town, they'll move on to Danvers. (The City of Sin is actually too scary for the next take-over!:-D )
My Halloween was spent in a run-down, old flea market building, teaching "Los Illegals" some English. Last night's vocabulary included: Murder, Blood, Fangs, stabbing, and the difference between Kill and Die.
Oh, and they were treated to a whiteboard-full of "Mike Halloween Art".



Boo.

Mike,....Why is it that I picture you like Robin Williams from Good Morning Vietnam while you're in that English class? LOL!

"Can you say,...My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble, hey-now, hey-now my boyfrind's back?"

Mike: "If someone is lying to you you say they're,..."

Illegals: "FULL OF SHIT!"

Mike: "and if somebody cuts you off in traffic you,...."

Illegals: "FLIP THEM THE BIRD!"

Most probably misquoting, but:

Still bowls me over to this day!

Hey mum,....how many pounds of chips are in a five pound bag? :)

Oh, poop then.
You mean I've gone all these years laughing at the wrong person's expense?!
Sacre bleu!
Bon F#@!
