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

I use to. I might have done something this year if I had not bought my grandad the 50$ book about firefighting. So Me my friends will probably pitch in for a half-gallon of whiskey terroize the nieghboored all the while making complete asses of ourselves trying to get laid. YAY![]()

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?Originally Posted by strike for the south

If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.
I'm not smart.
It's not really celebrated in Holland, so no costumes for me.

yup only in those uptown neighbourhoods trying to imitate beverly hills

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.
I don't have a costume, Do you guys have any ideas for some easy to make costumes?

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.
I have become comfortably numb...

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 ... .Originally Posted by Byzantine Prince

Religeous holiday so I get paid for not working woohoo![]()
In the evening I will wander round the bonfires (3 huge ones built within 5 minute walk of the house so far , there may be more by tomorrow) with the family and neighbours , have a few beers and watch the fireworks (which are illegal in the Republic) .
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.

This guy's costume has been on the web for a few years now. Still good for a laugh. Try wearing this...

"Never in physical action had I discovered the chilling satisfaction of words. Never in words had I experienced the hot darkness of action. Somewhere there must be a higher principle which reconciles art and action. That principle, it occurred to me, was death." -Yukio Mishima
I shall be dressing up and getting incredibly drunk. Should have pics as well, shall post them if I get them up after the event.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

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.![]()
Innovative Soy Solutions (TM) for a dynamically changing business environment.
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.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Went to see the White Stripes. Was very pleased.

Easiest costume ever is a white sheet, cut holes for eyes etc and then you are a ghost.Originally Posted by Byzantine Prince

That's a very cool ghost Gregoshi.
Twas a ho-hum Halloween for me here. Handed out candy, no stunning costumes ... blah. I fell asleep in the afternoon and the family went to the Maplewood Halloween parade without me.
