    Default Halloween?

    Do you celebrate Halloween? Do you give kids candy and dress up in a costume and watch horror flicks?

    Post good photos of you in your costume

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Heck, why limit that to Halloween?

    I went to state street last night for the Halloween party. It is quite an experience if you go before 1:00 A.M. Because that's usually when all of the out-of-state arses go all violent and trash our city and the police tear gas portions of it. It is something to see 100,000 dressed up people in a half-mile. Always fun until idiots ruin it.

    Old clothes, scissors and red paint
    great for making a corpse or zombie costume, if your willing toput in the effort, get some fake blood instead of the paint
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    A white headband (paint your fave Japanese Kanji on it) a fundoshi (essentially a cloth, diaper-like thingie), some flip-flops, a couple of wooden dowels, and a drum, and you could be a Taiko drummer. Assuming you have the bod and the attitude for such a costume ... .

    Even if I wanted to give out candy, well check my location and you'll see why I don't.

    I probably wouldn't anyway, unless my parents bought some and told me to give it out because I was downstairs and they were upstairs.

    I'm currently taking a break from decorating the yard for tonight. I used to hang things from a big tree in our yard. We had that tree cut down this summer, so I'm really challenged to find new ways to display stuff. I made a floating ghost last night that turned out pretty good. I'd like for it to have some motion, but seeing the hours are flying by, I'll have to wait until next year to get fancy with it. This year I'll just have to rely on the soft breeze that is blowing.

    Well, back to the yard. The mailman has come, so I can now make my mailbox from hell again.

    It's been difficult finding willing virgins for the sacrificial rites this Halloween. I might have to call the seance off.

    Zombie movies and beer. A friend of mine is supposed to dress up as Johnny Cage, so if we decide we want chocolate, he's going door to door while we keep drinking.

    Yeah, I saw that story Tribesman. Pretty gruesome.

    Fortunately my artistic skill aren't up to snuff on anything that looks real. I'm more into glow-in-the-dark and blacklight stuff - floating knives, hockey masks, skulls, spiders, etc. My ghost might have been a little too good as there were about 3 little kids who wouldn't come to my table for candy. I never had that happen before. The thing is, they didn't have to go through the yard as I was out by the curb on the street. Anyway, a disappointingly dull night. In the 13 years we have lived in our house, this was by far the worst Halloween as far as numbers of Trick-or-Treaters.

    Easiest costume ever is a white sheet, cut holes for eyes etc and then you are a ghost.

    What's the problem? Finding willing sacrifices or finding virgin sacrifices?
