Does Halloween eve have any special meaning other than the day before Halloween? I was just wondering...that's like ponderin'. Seems like much ado about nothing if you ask me. Seriously, with the exception of a bunch of loser emo goths that seem to think that Halloween eve represents the second coming of their lord and savior George Romero and his son Satan, it's just another day. It didn't always used to be that way though. Oh no...Before goths became a complete bunch of pimply faced cry babies Halloween eve had meaning. Not deep meaning, but it had meaning nonetheless. It was the day when Halloween candy began to go on sale everywhere! It was a joyous day for mom's and kids. That was back when dad held a steady job and paid for the candy.
Mom would buy extra candy giving no excuses for it because it was on sale, and that would help dad balance the family budget of course. The thought was that we could give it away the next Halloween knowing full well that within the week we would be eating it already so that it didn't spoil.
Anyway, while goths and Satan worshipers encircle their pentagrams tonight, I'm off to hunt for cheap treats. All mine! I'm not sharing shit with some snotty little kid that I don't even know. It's mine, all mine! Mom would probably think that I'm not very nice, but dad would understand. He knew the value of a dollar.

We bought loads of candy one year and not one brat came. So the next year we didn't bother and turned all the lights off and they were banging on the door! WTF??? Enjoy your candy.
We are going to the boat to hide form the throng of little snot nosed kids that show up by the busload. I so understand.
As for the photograph in your post. All I have to say about that is she used the 'f' word because that's the only 'f' she's going to get. Just saying.
Have a terrific day and weekend. :)
Theresa: Thanks. I'm on my way to get my sugar load for a year.
Sandee: Yep you got that right about the picture. What a loser! That's what I need is a boat. Seadoos don't help much as a getaway when you're trying to hide.
Candy! I must have candy! This is the the only time of the year I can buy mass quantities and not have the checker look at me as if I were a freak of nature.
I like your style Don. Watch out for those emo goths where America shops. I mean the ones that work there!
Enjoy you candy, Don! Just stay away from chicks such as the one in the photo :)
Oh was I supposed to buy candy today? Hmm oh well, turn the lights out and hide in the dark works for me. Maybe a quick trip to the store for a special treat for ME though :)
Me-Me King: I know. That's always been my excuse too, Halloween, when out buying twenty pound bags of candy and other fine crap.
nonamedufus: Ewww, that reminds me. One of the America's stores here-the one I go to-has this transvestite (I think) working there. It must be because an ugly, tall guy in his forties is trying his/her best to look like a female. She/it is every Halloween costume you've ever seen rolled up into one nasty little package. Sick!
Politicus: Thanks. I will. Chicks with dicks...mmm, mmm, mmm.
Ann: That's the way to do it now. See? You're getting with the program.
In my world coming up, Halloween Eve was called Mischief Night and that's when all the neighborhood hooligans TP'd and egged houses of the curmudgeons so that the trick or treaters knew which houses wouldn't have candy. My sister thinks it's priceless that my daughter was born on Mischief Night, btw.
I'm going to do Tarot readings while hubby does his Geek magic (needles through arm, cutting off his head, nails in the nose...) and the Goth tries to snog girls.
Gonna be a fun night.
Aria: Aah okay. I learned something new. I don't think we had that when I was a kid. I think that all of our hooliganism was carried out the night of...even at the school carnivals.
The Mother: Where do y'all do this? Church? Interesting. Sounds like things adults used to volunteer for at their kid's schools for the Halloween carnivals. That was fun!
Gotta say that I like the picture
Tracy: Thanks. That's my ex-wife.
I'd like to get away with that, but by golly if I leave my porch light off tomorrow night peeps gunna be thinking that a sex offender! Simply because that's what our community voted upon. "Lights out, means perv in" Pfft.
The goth costume is for any other day besides halloween, don't people get that? Sheesh!
Lady Sarcasm: Really? Lights out, perv in...huh. Strange!
