Pah! My Dog doesn't need dressing up. Every day he wears the disguise of Dribbling 'Tard from The Front Room.

Stupid Dog. Love him to bits though. Except when he is after my dinner. Then I tell him off.

Hey!

You watch your mouth, or we'll nuke the sh** outta you.
Nobody talks down to us.

You hear me?

YOU HEAR ME????

Don't make me hit the button.

The Red button.

The Shiny... red... candy-like BUTTON!!!!!

Pfffrt. Stupid Americans.

Hiding your Nukes underground was our idea! Ours I tell you!

No, really, it was.

I'm not worried, with the crippling obesity problem over there I'd be impressed if they could find someone whose pudgy fingers could even get near the button in the first place.



We're not quite that bad over here although there is a growing problem for men to just lose interest in what they're ty

Yeah, and Professor Farnsworth won't even consider the Finglonger for another 1,000 years or so!

Halloween isn't celebrated in the UK the way it is in the US, though increasingly we have children doing the Trick or Treat thing because they see it on TV. There's some resentment from people because they dislike an intrusive foreign custom being forced upon them.

I'm not against it like I used to be because it is fun for the children and I think it's good for them to go out around the streets and meet neighbours.

In Richmond (Surrey) the custom was that if you put out a pumpkin lantern you welcomed trick-or-treaters and if not, they should leave you alone. This was a good custom.

When I was little we did apple bobbing and suchlike. No trick or treat. These are the old British traditions.

This year my daughter will be dressed as a witch with black hat, purple dress and black leggings and a huge spider pinned to her shoulder. There will be a party with five friends (this is in Japan so I will not be there.) The Japanese have adopted a number of western festivals because they are fun and offer commercial opportunities.

Stuck in the UK, I have not decided what to do. I can either head home early and be ready to hand out the sweets to local children or head to the pub to drown my sorrows. Either way there will not be any costumes involved.

I feel the same way about anime : )

I'll still be celebrating my birthday (one of those keystone "0" years that's higher than 30.)

I've got some friends coming up tonight and they're buying me drinks all night (not as irresponsible as it sounds - I'm a rather cheap drunk).

Tomorrow, I'll be following it up with the "official" family birthday party.

A sexy nurse??


I'm going as the Dread Pirate Roberts (I'm a fencer, this is my porn).

Ozymandias, King of Kings

I'm going as Sam Spade. I have the trench coat and everything!

Just wearin' my gi or fencing outfit tonight.

Making up for it next year by being ironman, pacman, a spartan, and krillen.

I'm going as Andrew Sachs. Topical costumes FTW.

Here we go. The receptionist took pictures of people's costumes today.

Oh I get it, you went as a socialist!



I keed, I keed.

Halloween is a socialist holiday. Kids coming to your house expecting a free hand out. How unamerican!

Well. Australia certainly doesn't care much for Halloween, but my friends and I are having a little costume party. I'm going as a Chainsaw Manic from Resident Evil. I'm even going to carry my Chainsaw controller around. I used the costume last year at a different party and I genuinely scared people when I kicked the door open, revved the fake chainsaw, and attacked the curtains. And the costume's simple too; just some dirty overalls, a baggy shirt, and a potato sack, and I'm ready to go!

That doesn't sound like a costume, more like normal workaday clothes. Including the chainsaw.

But it's scary! I wear the sack on my head and I splashed a bit of red paint on the chainsaw. I even put splatters of red dye on the shirt.

That begs the follow-up question: if you have an awesome profession, can you wear that as your costume? Astronauts must hate this holiday. I imagine it would be even worse for Batman or someone in the special forces.

yeah,
the halloween party I went to last night was awesome... It was in my Local Pub the Fox and Firkin.
I took some photos and uploaded them to my website.
You can check out them out here---> http://www.cut-out-and-keep.com
there's photos of a chick with a snake and photos of another chick using a angle grinder on her groin and arm...(safe for work! haha)

I think I drink at the coolest Pub in the land...

Panic...


here's a few photos from that album...

well, i dont know what i done last night XD
woke up on my kitchen floor, so i must have had a good night.
makes painting a pain in the arse today since my eyes are a little blurry, im tired, and feel like crap still.
and im trying to paint up 1k of BA

Dude, it wasn't the party. Painting Blood Angels will do that to you.

This is me being horribly original :p

And who is your friend with the red smile?

Thanks, now I have to explain why I started laughing ut of the blue...
