Welcome to JAWC v2.5 : Halloween can kiss my candy coated ass... Halloween out here is fuckin' nuts... I mean that.. it's the big thing to do... as if it warrants them to go crazy because it's halloween... as if this is the only day they have to release all there pent up aggressions and let loose the torrent of vile and evil they've been forced to bottle up inside all year... Halloween is one of the few holidays I don't give two tugs of a dead dogs' cock about... (props to transmetropolitan for the euphamism) I mean seriously, the idea of a day where causing mischief is considered fine and dandy... nothing more than a lame excuse to say, "let's be rotten for a day"... why not just own up to the idea that you might not be the kind and loving person you want people to think you are year round... it's not foolin' anyone... If you wanted to go the conspiracy route, the candy companies made sure that the "trick" angle of the whole trick or treat concept was in full swing, by making sure that if you didn't give candy, kids would pull tricks on you... so in essence, you're bribing children not to fuck with the place you're living in... buncha disrespectful punks lookin' to cause trouble with eggs, shaving cream and other nefarious items to cause mayhem... and it only gets worse as they get older... at least when they were kids the parents would go around with them making sure they were safe... When did parents stop takin' there kids out for halloween?... what posessed kids to think that making others miserable was a fun thing to do?... what ever happened to just going around the neighborhood and collecting candy for the sheer pleasure of getting a variety of stuff to rot your teeth and make you hyper as all hell until you crash that half hour later from the sugar high and falling asleep in a fetal position on the couch as the "Munsters" marathon on Nick at Night winded down towards midnight... Halloween has degraded since I was a kid.. which probably isn't true... it's probably the same, but I never bothered to hang around the kids that wanted to cause trouble, I always wanted to be a good kid and stay safe, away from danger and risk... nowadays and prolly back in my day, those bastard parents who let there kids run rampant being litte bastards... throwing eggs and telling them to not get caught rather than just to be safe... fuckin' bastard irresponsible parents... Anyhow, I would suspect things are worse for kids in the recent years with all this terrorism shit going around like a venereal disease at an orgy... I mean shit, since when did people become such fucking cowards?... "OH NOES!! TERROR!" FUCK THAT SHIT!... you want to be afraid, be afraid of those punk kids being bastards... but shit, use your fuckin' head some time... it's not gonna be the creepy guy sputtering nonsense that's gonna be trouble but that quiet guy who's smilin' to be afraid of... strangers offering candy are usually nice and friendly... the crazy's are at least what they appear to be, and sometimes it's the crazies that are the most sane of us all. not to say that crazy is a good thing, hell no... but shit, just be aware of your surroundings when you go out at night, be wary of the way things are and make sure to take precaution in all you do rather than take unnecessary risks to impress others... be true to yourself and you'll be fine, if you feel something's wrong, by all means avoid it... don't submit to the will of others and have a safe halloween... that's all I got to say about it... so fuck off and eat some candy... sugar is your friend... unless you're diabetic, then you're just plain fucked. - Tiki Man
