I just laugh when I hear things like it's Satan's birthday; Halloween's origins have nothing to do with Christianity.
Let me put it this way - my next door neighbors have a giant tapestry of The Lord's Supper hanging in their living room (which covered the entire wall) and they homeschool their kids so as not to "pervert" them.

Imo, the more they keep their kids away, the more the kids are intrigued by those "things"....
hmm halloween.....hmm candy corn all day most likely, if my mom will let me buy it...
/starts drooling
I'll probably just watch a scary movie on TV and hand out candy to kids in the evening. We do have a Halloween party at work which is fun.
I personally have no plans for Halloween but I do have plans for the roaming groups of teenagers who go around throwing eggs at people.
It's shaping up to be a pretty evil reposte as well. Muhahahahahahahahaha!

You mean Treehouse of Horror? It's in November this year. Again.raggedjimmi said:
As for me, my son is due November 1st, although I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he pops out a little early. Damn, a Halloween birthday would be cool.
Either way, I'm not doing much this year for Halloween.
Sounds like that's the night you might be getting your last good night's sleep of 2006!mactastic said:
Shouldn't they legislate that Halloween be "observed" on the last Saturday in October? Friday would be OK too. Having Halloween on Friday or Saturday is so much better than having it on a school night. Weekend nights are already good for parties, and there's no homework to finish by the next morning.
This year, it's Tuesday night.
Still trying to decide on a costume. Thinking about wearing a kilt and dressing like Braveheart. Oh and either a house party or a pub crawl. Depends on which I can get my friends on board with.
Probably watch Desperado after we realize that, once again, no kids are going to stop by. They like to take advantage of our town's Main Street Halloween night, and head into other neighborhoods for the Big Night. Since we are half a block off Main, we get ignored both nights...Too bad for the kids and for my calorie intake, good for my tastebuds
Do the kilt thing, and then post pics.MarkCollette said:

Lucky!!
He's in town November 1st, but I can't afford a ticket AND they're already sold out.
I was THIS ---><-- close to selling my plasma (not TV) to get one.. but they were sold out!
AND it's with the HSO apparently! WITH THE SYMPHONY!
$70 for a ticket in Houston... $27 for one in Austin or fort worth? Wtf?
Haven't decided on what I'll show up to any halloween festivities as. I might be Medea. She's awesome.

Nice! I saw Ben Folds Five in a small club in London back in 1997 or 98, and they were brilliant. The night ended up being very odd for various reasons, but it wasn't Ben Folds' fault.
They were great live, I'm sure you'll have a great time. 
I want to find a stormtrooper costume. Even a scouttrooper would be nice. Just not a stupid clonetrooper thing... I want the original!
If I can't do that, I'll dress in all-black and scare the living, uh, nightlife out of kids. I've gotten some nice reactions from the parents, too.
Favorite thing I heard from a little girl: "Kick him, daddy, see if he is real or not!"

Well, Halloween is the lighter, more commercial side of All Hallow's Eve, which isn't exactly a nice holiday.
I think it's more important that people in the 1970s started to insert those razor blades into Apples. Suddenly, everyone was told to only accept wrapped candy--nothing home made. Then, the real ghouls modified their plans.
I've had really bad experiences on Halloween so I will never celebrate it again.

omg, sorry, i had to laugh...I just watched the Mel Gibson South Park episode tonight!! Too funny!
Anyway, Halloween has always been super fun (i don't dress up or anything but I love this time of year). Unfortunately I will probably not be doing a damn thing. Of course, Halloween is still a month away.
I'll be working on Halloween again, same as last year. I work a rotating schedule, so I don't always work the same days. However, I have had the unfortunate problem of being scheduled for work on Halloween 2 years in a row. This wouldn't be too bad if not for the fact that I work nights.
Another Halloween down the drain.

A couple of years ago went to UCSB's infamous "DP" Halloween thing... way worse than a ton of mosh pits I've seen.
Think I'd rather stay in this year... hopefully no kiddies will come 'round, don't think I'd relish opening the door and all that (never had to since I always used to live in the boonies and no one would come around).
