Well witches,goblins,ghouls,ghosts and ItNif's, it's that time again! Halloween is upon us yet again! So lets get the scoop on everyone's Halloween plans. What your going as, if your throwing parties etc.
OK I'll start. Well since I'm forced to stay at home and pass out treats, I'll paint my face like a pumpkin that is smashed and has blood oozing out. In tribute to the Smashing Pumpkins of course

Ushgarak
Well, Halloween has never really been such a phenomenon east of the Atlantic, thought that's not to say it doesn't exist at all.
Edna is the sort of person to ask about this, of course...
Texas
No trick or treaters in Essex

Ushgarak
Oh yeah, but it's a pale reflection of what you do. The kids can't even irritate you as badly over here.
Texas
Oh you dont have to tell me!
Ding Dong
open the door
90 trick or treaters on my porch, I was like God, did you people come on a bus or someting? Almost ran out of candy that year! That's when things really start to get scarry
Have you ever gone trick or treating?
Texas
But that's boaring, for Halloween you should dress up like a hooker and get drunk

ToMacco
Oh, I'll be dressing up, but not as a hooker.

Texas
Well now I'm curious! Let me guess.......Dr. Evil?
Ushgarak
Me go T+T? Nah. Doubt if I would have done even if I was in the States.
Texas

That's too bad about not going trick or treating
This year I think that you should go trick or treating to RC's house

Ushgarak
England isn't THAT small you know... it's a long walk and I'd probably wander into the Dartford tunnel by mistake.
Texas
Ohhhh, that's great, a dark tunnel is very Halloweenish!

Ushgarak
But the cars and exhaust fumes less so.
Ok, to come clean: I was thinking about bakiong a big Witch-themed Halloween cake for Edna's benefit, but it looks like she is busy with some Halloween Ball then, so, go figure...
Texas
I knew it!!!! I could sense that you weren't a Halloween miser!!! Ahhhhhhhhh, that was a very nice plan you had there!........hmmmmmm.... Why doesn't she just invite you to said ball?
Ushgarak
Because it's not local to me; that part of her life doesn't intersect with me.
Ushgarak
A Texas-themed cake would have to be so much bigger, though, and would have no relevance to Halloween...
ToMacco
Do they have "Saturday Night Live" all over the world? For those who havn't heard of it, disreguard this post.
But to those who have, has anyone seen the Skit where Adam Sandler takes stupid objects and uses them for Haloween costumes?
"Hey look at me! I'm crazy pencil mustache!"
"Hey look at me! I'm crazy teatherball head! Now gimme some Candy!!"
It's pretty funny stuff. I did that once for a Haloween costume. A lot of people laughed. Because we have a channel here (called Comedy Central) and it plays SNL 4 to 5 times a day.
Texas
I think that SNL is strickly an American thing. I like it when David Letterman shows the Halloween costumes on his show, it's really funny.
ToMacco
I don't really watch Letterman, or Leno. But I love Conan O'Brian. That show is funnier than hell!
Texas
Yeah, I like it when he does his 'looking into the future' bit! Really funny! I liked how Conan committed suicide on South Park!
I really like to watch Leno! I hate that other guy who comes on after Letterman!
ToMacco
Yeah, I know who you mean, but I can't think of his name either.
Have you ever seen "Triumph, the insult comic dog" on Conan?
Texas
No, never seen that, I always catch him doing the lip faces, and I saw one show where he went Apple picking with Mr. T, and just they other day he dressed up like a greasy truck driver. Very funny!
ToMacco
I think the reason I like Conan so much better than Leno or Letterman is because on Conan, they arn't afraid to push the limits of good taste.
They're not afraid to try new things. Leno and Letterman tend to stick to political jokes (which is fine, and sometimes funny). But I think it gets a little old after a while.
Leno or Letterman's writers never would have come up with Triumph, or The Pimp-bot, or the Masterbating Bear. I mean, that's funny S*#t!
I also love "Actual Items" which is a spoof on Leno's Headlines.
Ratcat
I think the audience base for Leno and Letterman starts old than for Conan. Starting older then leads to the up age being older and the type of humour has to change to reflect that.
Texas
Also Leno and Letterman get all the hot stars. Conan is usually left with the rift-raft

Texas
OK people back on topic!, Geeeshhh, now I know how RC must of felt with his picture thread.
So what are you guys doing for Halloween! Even if your not actually going to dress up, what would your dream costume be?
finti
dont celebrate Halloween with costumes and stuff. In Norway we visit the graves of our family and light a candle. Kind of nice to watch, at night, all those candles at the graveyard.
Gundark
Sounds very honorable, finti.
We're going to a Halloween party at Tommy's sister's house. Some people dress up and some don't. We drink a lot (and I really do make cupcakes to take along!!!!) eat, shoot pool, yada, yada, yada. Usually around 20-25 people. They've been having Halloween parties for about 10 years now.
Dim
I don't think it's the same when you get older..I can't really go around egging cars and tolietpapering the neighborhood anymore..
Texas
I can

ToMacco
. . . another thing about Conan
(Tex

)
Texas
I know Macco, no one here has any Halloween spirit
So did you catch Conan last night?

ToMacco
Nope, I missed it.
Texas
Yeah me too, I've been going to sleep early lately.
I did catch Rose McGowan on Letterman last night, that's one fine babe!
