WTF is black and orange day?

[scratch]

These people that make these rules are just sickening. Who gives a crap if some people get offended???

A little late getting into your`assailant` mood!

It's not exclusive to Canada.

That's true. Stupidity is rampant everywhere!8O;-)

very few pagan traditions are dark in any way. Oester, Yule, Samhain.... all have flowed through to create the Easter, Christmas, and All Saints traditions we're familiar with now, such as rabbits and eggs (signs of fertility), lights and evergreens (signs of life and promise in the dead of winter), and scary costumes to hide ourselves from the dead at a time when the veil between our worlds is supposedly at its thinnest.

But, it's a pagan link. And to some religions, anything 'pagan' means evil or satanic, rather than what it truly means which is essentially peasant.... the earth based religions and festivals of common folk, farmers, etc.

Which is ironic, since it was Christianity that commited so many atrocities back then, and could be thought of as "evil".:-(

wow - so far, apart from a handyman of death, a witch and a Mulk, I've had no one either! Where are all the little ghouls and goblins? It's a gorgeous night, I expected tons of 'em ! :-(

I got 69 of 'em!

At least you got Mulk, so your night wasn't a complete waste.;-) Of course, if you had been visited by a certain Dark Overlord your night would have been perfect.:smile:

My 14 year old wants me to rent her the Exorcist to watch with her buddies tonight. Not gonna do it! Can anyone suggest a better Halloween flick that won't have irate parents' beating my door down tomorrow but is still spooky enough for young teens?

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. That movie and Halloween go hand in hand.

Has Halloween Become Overcommercialized?

Has Halloween Become Overcommercialized?

S.F., Good Morning.
In my opinion it's just the opposite. I say that because displays used to go up much sooner in stores and more space was allocated. From what I have personally seen it has lost its draw.

We are living in a weird part of history; a time of constant changes to our environment and way of life. These people (who we never see) lobby our governments to maintain fear and uncertainty to create a sense of helplessness in our lives as they plunder our lands. It becomes clearer and clearer that Canada's natural resources is being seiged by foreign capitalist pigs at the expense of helpless, overworked, overtaxed, over regulated low income drones..(most of us)...Has anyone noticed that almost everywhere in Canada, lands are either being developed or plundered at the expense of the populace? No wonder Canadians (and Americans) are on some kind of happy drug......It isn't enough for these fatties to take away our great social programs(cutbacks), they are now taking away our values and traditions....Notice how we feel better when we complain and then blame it on someone we can see and feel (immigrants). Yes, I rambled, that's we Canadians do the best. Happy Hallo'ween. Dont eat the apples!...or drink our polluted water...or breath our polluted air....

That was uplifting, ever the optimist.

We've had about 110 kids through here. I drew the 'short straw', and went out with my daughter. Turned out not to be the short straw, though - we were invited in to two houses so that I could have a beer or two. Hey, it's not all about the kids.

The morning show DJ I listen to calls that "Beer O Treat"
