    Well what are you all giving out? I dont think I am going to give out candy. Me being brown I think I will scare some parents to begin with. :) But thats okay I understand. So what do you guys think I should give out providing any kids come to my house? I have a boat load of "God Bless America" stickers and also many Halloween pencils. Would those be a good alternative?

    Or should I just scare the hell out of the kids in some way? I mean it is trick "or" treat rite? I wont give em a treat but maybe I can trick (scare) the hell out of em? :D

    Eh I am too lazy to come up with an elaborate scaring technique anyways. Is there anything different you guys will be giving out?

    You can give out candy, Rockets03, just be sure and tell the kiddies that your candy's got Cipro in it. They'll eat it all and ask for more...

    ;)

    It's trick night for adults, but treat for kids. Play a really mean joke on a friend, but give the kids candy - drug and razor-free candy. Anything with chocolate or anything gummy will do. Depending on the joke you play on an adult, they are also useful...

    I refuse to participate in Satanic rituals such as Halloween , The Full Moon out tonight , and the Seven Sisters Constellation on top of the sky scares the hell out of me as it is .

    Im going over to The Church for the Harvest Party and getting my sugar fix with a free bag of candy . I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of old people who are mean and scary as it is . The smart kids don't come around here .

    TOFU FOR ALL THE KIDS!!!:D


    but really its supposed to be an amazing nite for Satanic hedonistic Celebratiobs...have fun!

    Rare blue moon tonight
    Spooky cluster of stars also will make appearance

    David Perlman, Chronicle Science Editor Wednesday, October 31, 2001






    If rain doesn't dampen the parades of trick-or-treaters tonight, they will see an unusual moon that's been celebrated for centuries, plus a cluster of stars of legendary spookiness.

    Earth's shining satellite tonight is called a blue moon, although when it rises just after sunset it could look more like a fat bright orange -- a jack- o'-lantern perhaps, turning white as it climbs high in the sky, and fading away as it sets toward sunrise.

    According to Bing Quock, the Planetarium director at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, what's so unusual about a blue moon on Halloween is that it last shone over California in 1944. And there won't be another until the year 2020 -- time for a new generation of costumed celebrants.

    The blue moon was originally defined by the Maine Farmer's Almanac in 1819 as an extra full moon within any season. Later, however, the respected publication Sky and Telescope altered the almanac's definition and since then it has come to mean the second full moon within a single month. The first full moon this month was Oct. 2.

    No one knows for sure why this rare full moon is called blue, but in Shakespeare's time, Quock believes, people may have called it blue because they likened it to the blue-green mold that marks some ripe cheeses.

    Perhaps the most famous mysterious words recited at Halloween parties are those from Shakespeare's three witches in "Macbeth":

    "Round about the cauldron go;

    In the poison'd entrails throw.

    Toad, that under cold stone

    Days and nights hast thirty-one

    Swelter'd venom sleeping got,

    Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

    Double, double, toil and trouble,

    Fire burn and cauldron bubble."

    But there are many mixtures of evil in pre-Shakespeare Halloween legends, Quock notes.

    Tonight, for example, as the blue moon rises in the east, so will the Pleiades, the "Seven Sisters," a cluster of stars in the constellation Taurus the bull. (Actually, there are about 3,000 stars in the Pleiades, not seven). The cluster will rise about a half-hour after the moon, and should move up the sky a little below and about 25 degrees to the left of the moon, according to Quock.

    The ancient Celts celebrated the rise of the Pleiades on the night between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice -- in other words, on Halloween night. Their Druids lit candles and bonfires on hilltops beneath the dark oak forests, and sacrificed crops and animals to begin the "season of darkness and cold."

    In the year 834, the Catholic Church declared All Saints' Day on what is now Nov. 1. The night before was the eve of all those who had been hallowed, or consecrated -- Allhallows Eve, or Halloween.

    Even earlier, according to some anthropologists, Mayan groups believed that the Pleiades reigned supreme over the darkness. At midnight each Oct. 31 when the star cluster was overhead, Mayan priests atop their temple would cut open a young boy's chest to remove his beating heart.

    Somehow, perhaps from that macabre Mayan tradition, plus the original Allhallows Eve of the Catholic Church and an ancient Aztec festival presided over by the goddess known as "Lady of the Dead," comes the Mexican "Dia de los Muertos," whose annual celebration also begins tonight.

    The Day of the Dead, celebrated according to Ricardo J. Salvador of Iowa State University, marks a "traditional blend of ancient aboriginal and introduced Christian features." It is ''a way of recognizing the cycle of life and death that is human existence, and ''it is not a morbid occasion but rather a festive time

    Dude you are a Raider fan which itself is scary enough. Wear an eye patch and put on your Raider jersey and you will scare the hell out of anyone norman! ;) Also if you are a Raider fan you already are involved in Satanic rituals. :)

    I am going to spray holy water on the little kids and telling them that they are going heaven because I saved them. That is all they get.


    No seriously, they are getting real candy. Don't know what we got.

    Okay, I just got back from the store. They didn't have pakages of Pixie Stix, so I just bought a few giant ones. I also thought that parents wouldn't let kids eat unwrapped food, so I replaced the powdered donuts with Lik-em-aid. Man, some parents are going to freak tonight. :D

    Tonight I'm handing out a couple of batches of special brownies :D There's going to be some really blown kids walking around tonight.

    Actually, I'll probably eat all the brownies before any kids show up.
