Halloween Costume Contest

<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Hi Yankee....good to see you!!!! I need your killing expertise<!-/Quote-!>

Well so far I've not gotten into that part of the game. Just been scooping up C3's so I doubt if I could help much at all.

Ran my CEO so far in debt had to do something about that so I've not even been doing that much either.

Right now about all I could do if someone came after me is make it cost them far more than it's worth ... which won't deter some

Actually we are getting into the Halloween mood here also. Local dealership is sponsoring a motorcycle ride with a zombie paint ball hunt to follow this Sunday .. going on that

Yankee, I can only dream that one day I will cause this 4 year running war I've been threatening!!! I just can't kill people, though. I have to enlist killers! :P

Well you keep me posted on the festivities in your home town....would love to hear em and what YOU are going to dress up as. :P

ONLY 19 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT TIL HALLOWEEN!

1. Do you have your costumes?
2. Have you bought spooky treats and candy for the kiddies...oh and of course, for yourselves?

YOU BEST HURRY!!!!

Doubt I dress up as anything, someone has to stay home and hand out stuff to the kids.

Guess I could put on my neoprene cold weather riding mask with the grinning skull and motorcycle leathers and scare the beejesus out of the little tykes.

Halloween is becoming more popular in Deutschland Lorelei, what year was your cousin sent there?

The thing is we have other festivals around this time of year, centred around specific cities: Allerheiligen, Oktoberfest, Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Reunification day Oct 3), Erntedankefest (Our "Thankgiving"), Cannstatten Wasen, the marvellous Berlin light parties und Reformationstag in Oct 31, along with Halloween lol.

But yeah Halloween is very recent. One day we were at Charlotte's parents house on October 31st and a few kids knocked on the door. Her parents were so estranged by them asking for candy in weird costumes that her dad told them to stop being vandals and to go home. I told him it was Halloween and that americans celebrated it that way, he just blamed the stationed soldiers for these ridiculous festivities... lol

I believe religion has to do a lot whether a country or not celebrates it. Mexico, from the few people whom I've talked to, has this custom since recently as well, they usually celebrate day of the dead and people say they have this delicious bread... We're not leaving until we get a piece of that!

Gosh, Wolfie, It was when his kids were really kids, so maybe about 15 years ago. My ancestors are from Germany and were part of the Germantown settlement here in downtown Nashville. We have an Oktoberfest every year. We like our German beer! :P

I need to find online the history of halloween. I think as time goes by more and more will celebrate it. It has gotten really commercial over here in the states. People decorate their yards like they do at Christmas. There are put-on haunted houses. I love my annual encounters with Michael Myers, the psychopath from the movie, Halloween. lol

I love this time of year. I love fall,,,, the beautiful colored leaves, the smell of burning leaves, the cool crisp air. I love the bonfires that we have, the wiener and marshmallow roasts that we have. We have hayrides, music and dance.

We had a great time downtown Nashville, doing the haunted tour over the weekend. :P I never knew Nashville, TN was so haunted!!!!

Yankee... lol part of the fun is scaring the lil tykes. he he he I remember when I was a kid, there was this house, had a ghost strung up in the yard on a post. When you walked by, there was actually someone under the sheet and they'd chase after you! We would scream and RUN! lol

But the coolest is this house close to where I live. They build like a little house of horrors and you have to go through it with the fog, the scary noises and monsters to reach the big cauldron of candy. But you have to be brave enough to get the candy, because there is someone under the table and their hand comes up through the "cauldron" to grab your hand as you reach for the candy. ha ha ha

.......In this regards, Lorelei, I must refuse. And now to prepare my anti-shoe shield.

OMG YOU HAVE TURNED DIFFICULT!!! First dots and a "?" in another post and MORE dots here and an outright refusal. I HATE dots! Death unto you who use them in regards to my posts!!!

You best keep that shield up foreva and a day! My shoes are coming for you, Tallisbeth!

Tallisbeth has now reached the #1 position on my list. This person has superceeded Josias and we all know how BAD that is to beat out my desire to kill Josias first!!!

...I don't know whether to be honored or downright worried.

lol

Y'all have 9 days!!! I better see some costume avatars!!!!! If not, I will kill you all!!!! lol

Halloween Update: Well this weekend I went to a haunted house, called Death Row. I had a rendevouz wif Michael Myers, the creepy serial killer from the movie, Halloween. ha ha ha I also went to a hoe down/bonfire/hayride. Ate roasted hotdogs and grilled hamburgers and all the fixin's. Listened to some of the most gawd-awful country twangy music that I have ever heard in my life! It was horrible! I suffered!

8 Days!!!! Better hurry!!!

The sands of time for you are running low....
