Well...it's going to be a rainy Halloween here, but if the HARD rain and lightning lets up and people actually do go out, I'm going to be Mr. Antipatico, sit out on the front porch, and give out candy.

Antipatico=unfriendly

LOL
 
Re: Hey! Toggles:

"Quack, Quack" Does that mean that your going to be dressed as "Daffy Duck" for Halloween!!!

Peace, "Happy Halloween" to everyone and a safe,
fun time for all, Steve

I'm Harry Potter. Well, I'm not doing anything tonight except surf and play games (parents are anti-Halloween so no fun for me).

Bri is an angel. She doesn't need much practice for that either ;-)
 
Well, I"m not dong anything nor am I gonnna be handing out candy. It stopped storming about 3:00 this afternoon. I really don't like costumihng and trying to portray a character. Have never liked that, even as a kid. I've begun threating people my costume is "sin ropas". The frighting enought is enough to shut them up, however in some of my circles, it would be greatly appreciated and applauded and I'd get the best costume award.
 
Anti halloween

Some elementary school around here called uxbridge or upton or something, banned halloween because 2 radical christian loonies complained it interfered with thier nazi styled teachings. That is some solid teachings when a day of playful costumes and candy can upset their entire lifestyle. Get real!!

JasonL why are your parents so anti-halloween?

Me personally I am going as a Dirty-White-Boy. This is in contrast to my squeaking clean persona.

I was going to hand out halloween candy but I ended up sorting and then eating it all. (I don't feel to good) I should go lay down.

Then I realized the kids would never stop at my house because, according the police, my house was deemed condemned years ago. In fact they thought this was a local drug house! Imagine my shock after spending all this money to buy into this community. That explains the boards on the windows and the bums I kicked out when I moved in. Fer shur.
Then there was that damn squirrel that jumped out and bit me when I opened a kitchen drawer. I've done everything thing to get rid of it but it won't leave. It has an attitude. I've decided to just call it a non housebroken pet. Does anyone know what a rabies shot is?
Hopefully someday I'll be able to afford to have a sewer lateral put in. I am tired of draining my washer(and everything else) out onto the lawn.
Don't get me started on the cobwebs.
I got ta go. Those kids are throwing eggs at the house. I just want to go get the eggs from them. I'm so hungry. I just hope they are not roach eggs. EEeww but, well, food is food.

boooh booOOHh ~~Happy Hal~low~~EEN~~ everyone.

help, Jason Vorhees is after me wearing that ski mask.
 
LOLOLOL

looks like someone used photoshop but it works. This kind of thing happens all the time I'm sure. LOLOL
 
14 hour workday for me...

Some were dressed up, one person as a pregnant nun even, but the best costume I saw toda belonged to a kid in the underwriting department.
He was a whoopee cushion, complete with an electronic device that provided the sound effects.
I laughed so hard at one point my sides hurt and there were tears in my eyes.
The electronic device that made the(very realistic) noises was triggered by a remote... we later found out that the little key fob thingys that lock/unlock our cars would set it off...
So I spent some time this afternoon pointing and clicking.
It was too damn funny!
 
Christian=nazi? I don't think so

I'm a Christian myself and I don't judge people or anything else like that. Most Christians aren't very judemental like that, only a few are. But unfortunately that's what everyone sees is we're all back woods hicks that's anti-everything.
 
Veg, this year was the first year I 'dressed' up in over a decade. I was Fred, and Crystal was Daphine, and we went out Sat night in Iowa City, which was a blast. Tonight - earlier I helped Cory w/ house materials; afterwards I stayed home and did dishes!

Ben---pictures! Did you even wear the dorky scarf?

And I'm guessing that the significant lack of Cory lately and his comment a while ago (coupled with yours) means that he's started work on the house??

I have never understood why radical christians are against Halloween. I go to church regularly, and I certainly say I am a Christian, and there's absloutely nothing in the Bible condemning Halloween! The celebration started as a harvest festival for one thing, a celebration of all that God bestowed upon us from the summer's work. Yes, some people have blown the whole thing out of proportion with witches, ghosts, demons and such, but if those things really bother you more than a quick scare, you are a weak christian anyways.

Yes, I get scared sometimes, it's usually a suprise though...Haunted housese and things are fun and exciting because they play on the fact that you are expecting something to happen...you just don't know WHAT or WHEN! The darkness, and sometimes fog adds to it, because it limits your senses to interpret the situation. Anything that reduces your mind's ability to know what's going on will cause fright! One of the things I enjoy about Halloween though is the production of it all. It's a multimedia extravaganza of lights, sounds, automiation, animatronics and other neat technology that I love!

My secretary put a plastic hand on the door to the shop that looks like it was dismembered. At first glance, It will really suprise you, especially since there's a lot of machinery in here. The first thing that comes to mind is OMG! One of my co-workers had an accident with a machine! Witches, ghosts, and all that have always been a part of Halloween. They are good for a nice quick fright, and a good laugh (Remeber Witch Hazel in the Buggs Bunny cartoon!?!?) If one is putting any more weight on these silly things outside of a good laugh and mere light hearted entertainment, they only have themselves to blame if they are concerned about the "spread of satainic rituals".

We've bee telling fairy tales for years and years that have evil characters in them, and I hardly see anybody around that was "warped" from this. In fact, most kids that had these stories told to them probably grew up BETTER because their parents were spending time with them having fun. It's the same group that is all up in arms about the popularity of Harry Potter, and the Lord of the Rings. While yes, these books are filled with evil stories and characters that are outside the Christiam realm, these people must realize that they are STORIES. This means they are FICTION. Nothing more than someone's wild, creative magination...enjoy it for what it's worth, and take a trip outside of reality! At least it is inspriring kids to read, verusus watch TV or play video games!

Symbols are what we make of them. For instance, everyone talks about chrystals being anti christian and such. Really folks, they are nothing but a piece of rock that yes, GOD created! If you want them to mean something else, that's YOUR problem, not mine! To me they are a pretty rock, let me enjoy them for what they are.

Halloween is a great chance to get out and get to know your neighbors. I chatted it up with many of my neighbors that were taking their kids around. I had some fun decorating the house too. I put my old Hammond Organ out on the front porch with some PVC pipe behind it. Inside the PVC pipe, I put some dry ice and a little water. Steam boiled out the top of the pipes. At the bench, I placed a big skeleton with his hands on the keyoard. I lit the whole scene up with a blacklight, and I had erie organ music playing through the outdoor speakers. Everyone thought it was awesome! I got lots of laughs, lots of smiles. Children that were suprised, amazed, and awestruck but quickly laughed and let out smiles and told me how cool it was! Isn't that what it's all about?? Absloutely nobody condemned me because I was "spreading evil", because nobody thought I was, and I wasn't, I was having fun!

Hope everyone here has had a great Halloween, I certainly did! Sorry for my ranting, but I did want to tell y'all 'bout what I did!
 
Peter in Atlanta, I am crack-ing up here.
Man, you have got quite the collection of applis.

Steve on Long Island I think I tried to E you but got an error message. check your email address and send me one.
Do you know where 112 Ocean Av is?
 
112 Ocean Avenue, at first pass sounds like Brooklyn, but there may be one on Long Island as well..Where is it located?

I believe my e-mail addresses are correct!
 
I'm not religious myself, but I agree that 99% of the Christians out there are not anti-Halloween. The ones who are the ones who get a lot of press because they love to sensationalize things, and that sort of behavior sells TV ads, and that's how they decide what is news these days. I do wish that the mainstream Christians would tell them to knock it off though.

The whole demon/witch/devil stuff is all in good fun. They are (at least in my opinion) mythological creatures, and nothing to get worked up about. I'm sure that whatever God is up there could care less about it, and probably enjoys the fun of the holiday. As usual, it's the humans that decide that they speak for him/her/it that mess things up.

It rained here last night (which is par for the course on Halloween in Seattle) but we still had a fair amount of kids come to the door. Our neighborhood has a lot of immigrant children, and a lot of them don't quite get the concept of Halloween. They come to the door in street clothes, and just stand there looking at you. But they're nice kids, and it's fun to joke with them and get them to say "trick or treat". Candy is, after all, the universal language ;-)
 
Steve I believe it is a Dutch colonial in Suffolk County, single family.


OK I'm stumped--- This is important, why? LOL
Are you a psychic telling me this is my future address??
 
a mystery

Who lived at 112 Ocean Av. in a city on L.I. It fits with the whole Halloween theme here. You should know this Steve.
Hint: It is not in the Hamptons.
The true suspense continues!

Now I have to go see if Austin/Westypopover has let us in on his "new find"
 
Amityville

My grandfather lived two blocks away from the "horror house". We had to pass it every time we visited him. When the previous inhabitant massacreed his family, he ran into the bar/club my Grandfather hung out at and screamed someone killed his family. At least that's the story my grandfather told us. We were aware of the massacree years before the horror thing became well known.
