Virtual Halloween

[Opsa]

BOO!

I was thinking of being a Republican this year for Halloween. I could wear a red knit suit, eat meat and oppress people who aren't like me.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Not all meat eaters are republicans!

OTOH you'll have to refuse to pay taxes, forgo non religious donations, criticize deficit spending on fixing the roof, but buy five Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifles with enough munition for a siege, a case of fragmentation grenades, and two RPGs with antitank munition, just in case the neighbor doesn't look at you properly.

Aww, I love Maleficent. She ain't GOP, she's too smart and too funny ("I set my trp for a peasant, and lo! I catch a prince!")

I have planned to be the Mad Hatter. Does this mean I have to hang out with Tea Baggers on Halloween?

Or worse the Cheshire Cheney

Ayuh, but how many veggie Republicans do you think there are?



Blanking on Halloween this year - might scramble for a costume if I figure out what's going on for Saturday (I missed a friend's yearly party which happens the Saturday BEFORE Halloween.  We are planning on attending the midnight showing of Rocky Horror to kick things off (night of the 30th, so it's technically on the 31st), which was a blast last year.

[Opsa]

Frank N. Furter is the male equivalent of Malificent. I would love to play either one of them.

Since I am a vegetarian, my Virtual Halloween republican persona would have to be a carnivore. Maybe I could have a rifle and be dragging a baby seal behind me. Or maybe have a wall built around me! That'd be great.

Actually, I'll just be escorting th' Opsalette and her pals around for treats. Maybe I'll wear my famous leopard cape and bat wings, if it won't be too embarrassing for her. We'll be having our usual soup and bread dinner for some friends, followed by a beer and wine decompression period afterward as the children sugar up.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Actually I suspect that there may a non insignificant portion. You could split vegetarians in two main groups, those who do it as a way of respect to all living things, and those who do it out fear of death. I've met ladies* whose choice of food and exercise routine was directly linked to said fear, which included their choice of cars, house, travel, etc.

Given that a certain level of paranoia added to a preemptive strike philosophy has been correlated to right leaning individuals, I wouldn't be surprised at all if a portion of republicans are vegetarians.

*so far I haven't met a man like that, my suspicion is that said behavior is more correlated with women.

Don't forget to have a coupl'a NASCAR stickers/patches somewhere.  And a worn baseball cap-- brim forward, of course.  Preferably one with with beer stains.

Oh, and neglect to shave, so you have that scruffy-looking stubble.

Is it warm enough for shorts there at Halloween?

I read an article referencing a study correlating wives' intelligence levels to husbands' longevity, with the reasoning being that smarter/more educated women get their husbands to follow healther diets/regimes.  Apparently men's intelligence was not a factor (i.e. most of us don't have the sense to take care of ourselves even when we should know better).

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Makes perfect sense, I don't mind salad but I can go without no problem, my wife OTOH makes it everyday, plus she bugs me on the exercise and diet thing (I don't know how successfully though).

This is far too serious a subject for Virtual Halloween. You may continue the diet gender gap discussion here: http://toadfishmonastery.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=32&topic=2075.new#new

Thank you!

Not really - who do you think is more likely to raid the kids' candy bags?

I shall be at a party on Saturday at what is called the House of Sin and is better stocked than half the bars in town. And I will be wearing heels, so hmm that will be fun, though I don't intend to get plastered. I'll try to get a picture.

This is after we go out (possibly for lunch) for my mother's birthday.

[pieces o nine]

I told housemate about the 'tattoo' chihuahua dog costume, knowing she would break down and order it before Halloween, for Benji.   

She also ordered a 'Yoda' one for her Chinese Crested (they sent a large instead of a small, when he gets excited he puts both paws in one leg, etc). It will need some adjusting to stay on, but is cute. With his enormous ears, he doesn't need the headpiece, so she'll be wearing it...

Dom thee Danger Catte wil be warin 'is pyratickal 'at again, an mebbe tradin orf wif 'is noo debbil horns.

My custom black velvet vamp dress comes back out of storage, along with professional fangs. I will *not* be dyeing my tresses black -- learned my lesson on that a couple years ago!

We've got an enormous cauldron of candy, with a temp-safe jar in the center to hold a chunk of dry ice. It's my understanding that hordes of neighborhood children will be around; kids usually enjoy seeing the pets 'handing out' the treats.

Any of you trudging around the Ocean o' Sand, stop by for evil, prepackaged sugary treats. It's the yellow house with gangs of vandal deer in the back yard and koi pond in front...
