It's a Celtic fest, just like bloody X-mass. The Americans just substituted the turnips for pumpkins because they like the taste better.itnAklipse wrote:What exactly do you know about Halloween?

Of course it became a commercial thing, and everyone is doing it, but hey, I got three options here:
1) Either do what the Catholics want us to do: go to the cemetary on November 1 to go freeze your ass off, dislocation your shoulders and breaking your legs whilst trying to balance two heavy pots of Chrysanthenums on a ground which seems to be dug up only yesterday...
Then go stand there in the freezing cold, trying to pretend you really care for that great-great granduncle you never knew anyway but sent you some money years ago.
In the process, also try to care for your fellow freezers-off-their-assers-essses even when they try to bump you into an early (shared) grave, disturbing the silence with their shouting about how their hubby didnae clean the headstone of Auntie Clothilda with bleach and what a disgrace it now looks to all the other people checking out the graveyard.
The fun part is that you can go and 'do the tour' to see which arse-wipe snuffed if before you
2) The night before the above, celebrate Halloween: invite some friends, buy beer and pretzels, have a cozy night in a warm living room, lighted candles, chasing spirits away that would otherwise haunt the living.
Have a laff, put on some nice horror movies ('Eight legged Freaks' and 'Child's Play' was on chez IZ towers last night
), and afterwards play the night away with the idiotic beer-and-pretzel games MediEvil and Zombies.3) Do nothing at all. Pretty boring.
Have a guess at which one I prefer?
IZ.

However, there is no actual documentation of any reliability, whatsoever, backing up the presumption.

It's when my car (and 4 others in my street) had their windows smashed in by a passing mob of 30 Under-14 Hell's Angels. In hoodies.
Cnuts
Mind you by the end of the evening they had graduated to smashing the windows of ALL of the cars on a street (about 20) and then rolling a couple onto their sides.
Cnuts
Still, not all bad. My daughter (6) brought back a huge bag of sweets and had the huge girlie grin that makes life seem so much better all of a sudden!

Why stop at 25? Up the limit a bit and we can get rid of most of Mr. Broon's cabinet - it doesn't look like most of them have started shaving yet.Planet Dave wrote:Jesus! Abortion up to the age of 25 - that's what we need!

Oy! You there with the hoodie!
Stop polluting my genepool!
It is time for you, your friends and your family (and theirs) to be shot.
Bang Bang!

Yes, let's exterminate the untermensch to purify the race!
OK, I'm (mostly) kidding, but you ought to be careful with this sort of thinking.
