Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | What really irritates me about Halloween is, people call it a 'holiday'. It's a celebration and not a holiday. No banks close, no gov't offices close, nobody has the day off. There's no special meal, nobody is compelled to do anything. The worst part about Hween is, the next day it's November. I remember in my taxi the big fun in the poor neighborhood's was 'snachin' on Hween. The teen kids would wait till the little kids had been out for an hour, then steal their bags of candy from them. Steal 10 bags and that's a couple months of candy. In the poor neighborhoods parents didn't go with the little kids, they were easy targets for HS kids. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It rained a few times when I was a kid, or later took kids out. But never this cold, it's really miserable out there in much of the Midwest and East. The blue is snow. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | There is a blue moon on Hween this year. Only happens once every 20 years or so. Drives superstitious people crazy. A full moon and Hween are both loaded with superstition anyway, put them together and you have problems. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The Halloween blue moon was used frequently in Hween postcards at the turn of the 19th century. You were lucky if you ever saw one, it's usually overcast on that night. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Ive done it Not lately Whatever weekend falls closest to Halloween Back when I was younger and hitting up the major party spot in town My case, Fells Pont Baltimore. Lots of bars, lots of people on the sidewalk mingling in costumes. Its a hoot Nowadays, if I see somebody working on the 31st in a costume, I really appreciate it. Brings a smile to my face And some costumes are funny I remember after the Vegas Tiger accident Very popular costume with a toy tiger hanging from a neck :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
