Halloween

A holiday in October where men dress up, and women dress down.

Classic Halloween examples include women dressing up like animals, nurses and "bad cops" while men dawn robes of the clergy.

Halloween

Halloween is an ancient Celtic festival that celebrates (or celebrated) the Lord of the Dead. During their festivals, they dressed in scary costumes and carved scary faces on turnips (and now pumpkins) to scare the evil demons away, and made huge bonfires where they burnt offerings to the pagan gods (like vegetables and children - nice mix, huh?)

Later, since the Pagans wouldn't stop their death celebrations, the Christian church changed the name to All Saints' day (a celebration of the Christian saints instead) and voilà! Now everyone's beliefs are combined and everyone is happy. Then from that was All Hollow's Eve, and so on and so forth until it was Halloween.

Now, little kids run around in princess costumes collecting candy from strangers and decorating their homes with death symbols.

...I'm sure that the princess costumes did a much better job at scaring the demons.

Person: Hey, what are you being for Halloween this year?
Other person: I'm gonna be a witch with freaky hair. What are you gonna be?
Person: Haha, I'm gonna be a dead cheerleader.

Halloween Walk of Shame

When you emerge from a guy's house wearing the same Halloween costume you partied in the night before reeking of booze, sweat, and maybe pumpkins- all in good fun from the night before. And unlike the normal walk of shame... you cannot hide in your halloween costume.

I totally did the Halloween walk of shame this morning- the dead give away was my head to toe chicken outfit

dora the explorer halloween special

a recent halloween special for Dora the Explorer. They meet a really nice monster who has to get home by midnight. Hilarity ensues, including the song "Halloween, Halloween" and Swiper's happiest day in awhile. ( I mean, come on, he's getting to swipe candy without getting in trouble)

Since I had to go to school, I was fortunate to record the Dora the Explorer Halloween Special which was really on Stoney McHill.

Halloween

An excuse for everybody!
For teenage girls to dress like sluts!
For little boys to dress up like robots and aliens and not be teased!
For nerds to cosplay as things no sane person has ever heard of!
For adults to get roaring drunk and not be given a second look!
For paedophiles to hand out free candy to willing little children!
For idiots to watch the same three horror movies they watched last year!
And for silent misanthropes to bang their head against the wall for another four hours.

(Day after Halloween)
Jack: Hey, did you see that horror movie at Dan's place last night?
Bob: No, I couldn't get there. The road was too blocked up with slutty teenage girls, cosplay geeks, drunken adults and possible child predators.
Jack: Good thing I'm a silent misanthrope, then.
Bob: Agreed.
