Happy Halloween

[Finkeren]

Happy Samhain folks (Yep, the Irish invented it and don’t you forget it)

 

Even though this festival of ghouls and goblins is a relatively new import to my country (we usually dress up for carnival and smash a barrel to bits with a live cat inside) I must say Halloween is a favorite of mine, as I would never miss an opportunity to watch horror movies and scare the bejeezus out of small children.

 

This is the outfit I’m using this year to greet any trick-or-treater that shows up on our doorstep:

 

 

(I apologize for the apparent boner - I swear that’s just the light playing tricks)

 

What are you guys getting dressed up as?

I could have done without hearing about your package, and I'm just going to have to assume that the part about the cats is a poor attempt at humor.

Historically no, they absolutely did, but obviously the cat murder slowly went out of fashion early in the 20th century. Today the barrel is filled with candy instead, so it’s just a very sturdy piñata with a cat painted on the outside, that takes forever to knock down and usually leaves a kid or two with sprained wrists.

Nope, cat in a barrel is a real thing, though, real cats are out of fashion in the modern world.

I'm having a stress-free Halloween, content in the knowledge that my spoiled kitties are safe from barbaric Danish fanatics with rockets in their pockets.

Kinda wish we did Halloween here, looks fun.

 

Then again, some of the costumes I’ve seen make me thankful that it’s not popular here.

Well, you know what they say Cybermatt:  Beggars can't be choosers.

Why is she (he, it, ze) made up as Adolf Galland?

Ahaha the light playing tricks xD

That looks like a genuine boner.

It's nice to have a pagan day in the year in rememberance of something that's part of life (death) but I'm starting to feel too old to dress up like it's carnival and go ask for sweets.

Anyway in France its more about remembering the dead and sometimes carving a face in a turnip or something like that.

It's definitely a semillon at least. Talk about trick or treat...
