HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Hey Guys! It is now my favorite day of the year, since it is my favorite holiday. This year I will be Domokun (RAWR) for my service project and a Rubik's cube for crew trick or treating (all I had was a box to work with). Now making it to the top of any of my lists is not an accomplishment to be scoffed at. Let's take a look at the holiday contenders:
4. Guy Fawkes Day - Nov. 5 (I've got my effigy all ready to go!)
3. 4th of July- come on, it's summer, there is food aplenty, and explosives
2. Bastille Day - July 14th- It's the 4th of July...to the XTREME! Tres bien
1. Halloween - a day when you are encouraged to dress up and demand candy. Can things get better? No, no they cannot.
Now I'm sure all of you have had your fair share of memorable Halloween costumes. Luckily, I escaped my parents dressing me up when I was too young to protest in the morally repugnant and demeaning costumes of anything that Anne Geddes dare would photography. Shudder. Anne, it is not cute to put children into flower pots and pretend they are flowers. No. There is no rhyme or reason to such madness. Also, there are Halloween that you get so much candy you rent out other burro-like children to carry your bounty and years when your neighbors are prats and don't give you the good stuff.
My all time best Halloween (Mike and Andi, this is you kids!)
8th grade. The round table kids from Surfside Middle School (Andi, Colby, Lindsay, Shannon, Mike, Christy, and myself) all went around Colby's neighborhood. Aside from the bumper load of candy and usual mischeif, one house stood out. This is one of the houses were the people just don't get into it. A trailer trash-esque "woman" opened the screendoor, and in doing so smacked one of us in the head. Classy. Then, after much grumbeling, gave us the worst of candy; the rock-hard candy wrapped in the black and orange plastic. I'm sure you know all the drill- this is the type of candy that just doesn't get traded and is not fit for human consumption. Naturally, we were outraged and touch out our feelings of ill-will by stealing a few from her plethora of lawn ornaments. Years later, that lawn duck is still a denizen of my bedroom.
So again, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
