Either way, Halloween can suck my balls. Grow the h ...[text shortened]... ur gloves to ball games in hopes of catching a foul? Of course not, that's what children do.
Sounds like your weekends with friends, dude. 😛

We love Halloween....my twin girls turn 10 on that day!

I couldn't agree more. What's worse, though, is when your workplace tries to strongarm you into a ridiculous costume in the name of...whatever... bonding? Conformity?

I submit an excerpt from a company-wide email I received:

That’s not all though! The previously announcement regarding the costume contest is very much still happening, although on a more official nature (because I’m involved). Details will be distributed on Monday for those interested. Costumes are very much encouraged, even if you do not intend to compete. It’s called “atmosphere” and you want to be apart of it. Participants are also known as the “in” crowd, as opposed to non-participants who are called “spoil-sports”

I'd rather set myself on fire.

Edit: Damn, did I say that out aloud, Doh!

Well I live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
'Cuz to me everyday is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight
Well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene'
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
well I let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
'Cuz Halloween is everyday
it's everyday
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
i'm not the one that's so absurd
why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same in the whole wide world

That's way over the top ridiculous. I don't think office work should include birthdays, showers, parties, etc. Makes me glad I work with a few men. They could care less. Day in, day out, they are consistently no-nonsense.

You must work with women. Poor girl!

I'd rather have napalm dropped on my crotch than get dressed up for Halloween at work. That kind of sillyness is to be reserved for the bedroom and small private gatherings. Are assless chaps considered a costume?

Our memo:

October 31st No Costumes on this day. Due to the fact that Halloween falls on Friday, children can celebrate at home and in their neighborhoods. Teachers, if you want to bring something for your students on this day you can do so and hand out to the students the last 15 minutes of class.

The difference between this year and other years is ... zip. The only thing we're allowed to come close to celebrating is Valentine's Day. Doesn't bother me -- I don't think Halloween belongs in school anyway.
