The pain of triumph and revelry.

I’m not going to do the obvious and say that Halloween was awesome, then crank out a thousand words about HOW Halloween was awesome. For it is the Morning After and I am beat like a drum

The pirate ship was like the bow of a ship sticking maybe 8 feet off the front of their porch and then the rest of the house covered in tattered black sails with the skull and crossbones. Then the people from the house itself all dressed as pirates.

The castle was, quite possibly, a little more involved. One house was the tower. The entire street face of their house was covered with a castle facade. I'm guessing plywood painted grey, but I couldn't honestly tell. The next door house had a perhaps 3-foot tall crenelated wall. I hesitate to actually call it a parapet or battlement, but it did look castlely.

Not so much a Wench, per se. There were femme pirates...at least one or two, i think, but not so much with the assortment of wenches to support them. Mostly it was a bunch of dudes.

And i'm not saying no JUST to appease you...but also because it happened to be true.

I'm coming home for halloween next year... like I wanted to this year. I must see that damn pirate ship. If it's on a good day, I'll definately try to hook up with you guys.

I went and watched "Saw III" and ate sushi with my dad on halloween. Not nearly as grand as almost every other past halloween I've had. But, none the less still a halloween-worthy night. That is definately my favorite holiday...

It is the best of holidays, truly.

much like with the Zombie Walk, what I really need to remember to do next year is to mention it well in advance and repeat the notices at regular but reasonably spaced intervals to keep people interested.

Richmond might not have like the Best Halloween Ever or anything, but we do sport a damned fine one. No doubt.

You do realize that Rachael is liable to want to kill you for calling her an Ice Princess?

That's why I said it.

I expect retaliation to come in the form of rocketship pencils flying through the air at my eyes. When you start the war, fight with arrows, spears and swords!

I was a Japanese prostitute... but everyone thought I was just wearing kimono. Don't they understand that obi tied in front is for easy access?

[mr_jaeger]

So everybody thought you were being yourself and wearing a kimono...

and you're of the opinion they didn't think you were a prostitute...

This may take a moment to sink in.

But i just called you a hooker.

I'll be calling after work tonight. Don't answer.

[liebschen]

I'll try.

[mr_jaeger]

Thank you.
