It's Halloween weekend! Are you dressing up as a sexual pun and partying? Going around the neighborhood with the kiddos to collect loot? Putting a bowl outside for all the sweet children because you're a bitter gremlin? The Halloween decorations have been fun to see while kiddo and I ride around on the bike. We have been pretty minimal on our own decor here but are going to be carving a pumpkin today for the front step. Happy Halloween! Y'all be good.
This is my favorite holiday, and I'm spending it solo in Seattle. Any suggestions are welcome, I'm starting off with the Oddities and Curiosities Expo tomorrow morning. I had already bought tickets when I realized it was not the "Odd-Titties and Curiosities Expo", but meh. Making the best of it. Happy Halloween, all!
Now I understand why you pull such malicious pranks on her; she deserves it. At this point in my life, the over-commercialization of Christmas has completely killed the holiday for me.
man between that, her obsession with going to target, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, that her only choices of TV shows are Friends re-runs or all those bravo shows, and buying an insane number of throw pillows and rugs, there's more personality quirks than you can shake a stick at relevant video
I love Christmas, but don't get the trend of celebrating it so damned early. When I worked at an office at our local mall, the overhead Christmas music and decorations going up the first week of November ruined it. So I started kinda ignoring it all until the two weeks leading up to it, then watching the old TV specials, playing the music, etc. I also try to have all the shopping, wrapping, etc done by then so I can just chill and enjoy the holiday.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, but yeah, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. Put that shit away. Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I grew up in a very rural area, so there was no big trick-or-treating hauls to be had. And so there was no reason to dress up. Just never got into it.
Id say Christmas is my favorite Holiday followed by Thanksgiving. Kind of a wash really. We used to have big turkey dinners on both and would just switch which side of the family we'd have them with year to year. End of day Friday they sent an email saying we can dress up Monday but said nothing, racist (durr), too revealing, anything that implies violence, anything that makes fun of impoverishment, or makes fun of disabilities. I hate the world we live in more and more each day. Im not sure if they made the list specifically for the lgbt spectrum girl or not because she is a legit costumier that made a movie worthy pirate costume last year. She could have raped and pillaged all sorts of people in that outfit. Im going as Alex Delarge from A ClockWork Orange. Codpiece and all.
It ought to be a law that pumpkin spice, fall loving assholes have to clean my gutters and manage the leaves here every season. We had gutter guards, they still clogged up, they would only catch light rain. Heavy rain just flowed right past them like we didn't have gutters.
I just love the feeling you get when you put the supposedly patched tire back on and it's half flat. Good times.
We had an eventful ride home after a Halloween thing. We came around a curve in a typical country back road. There was a cop ahead, it looked like he had someone pulled over. I slow down and prepare to pass them and I see another cop coming up behind us. I get about 150' away, moving slowly because it's dark and the lights are blinding. I hear a gunshot. I stood on the brake, I ducked, got low behind the dash. Told the kid to duck. Should have told the wife to duck because she didn't and could have gotten her head shot off if it turned out being more than what it was. Someone had hit a deer, the cop shot it to end its suffering. I saw him walk back to his car with the rifle and wave us past. Then we got behind one of those people that are obviously drunk. The kind going under the speed limit but you're afraid to pass them cause the keep crossing the centerline.
So I just learned about "Trunk or Treat" and I think telling any child that this is an adequate substitute for real Trick or Treating should be considered child abuse.
