It Is Now Offically Halloween!

Over rated holiday

Halloween is not a holiday really. Halloween is what the old celebration of Samhain, as observed today after the insidious influence of Christianity and the Candy Industry morphed into but still fun!

Wiki:

"Samhain (play /ˈsɑːwɪn/, /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/, or /ˈsaʊn/)[1] is a Gaelic festival held on October 31–November 1. The Irish name Samhain is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".[2] A harvest festival with ancient roots in Celtic polytheism, it was linked to festivals held around the same time in other Celtic cultures, and continued to be celebrated in late medieval times. Due to its date it became associated with the Christian festival All Saints' Day, and greatly influenced modern celebration of Halloween."

From "War of The Worlds"; The Mercury Theatre; October 30, 1938, Orson Welles:

"Orson Welles: This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen, out of character to assure you that The War of The Worlds has no further significance than as the holiday offering it was intended to be. The Mercury Theatre's own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying Boo! Starting now, we couldn't soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night. . . so we did the best next thing. We annihilated the world before your very ears, and utterly destroyed the C. B. S. You will be relieved, I hope, to learn that we didn't mean it, and that both institutions are still open for business. So goodbye everybody, and remember the terrible lesson you learned tonight. That grinning, glowing, globular invader of your living room is an inhabitant of the pumpkin patch, and if your doorbell rings and nobody's there, that was no Martian. . .it's Hallowe'en!"

Happy Halloween

And to you!

It will be officially Halloween here in two minutes. It is pouring down rain so the little tricksters tonight may have a rough time of it.

In my time zone t's been Halloween for some two hours!

BOO!

Lots of valuable and intelligent repsonses there, eh, what?

And you got those guys on the Circle Jerk Rep thread jacking each other off in a daisy chain of Rep.

The current system sucks balls and needs fixing.

Sally are you drunk? Why do you keep posting your Rep in every thread? haha.

Happy Halloween! Sauce up!
