Now in the Boos...

Now for Some Halloween news for ya...

In Florence, South Carolina, A hayride that happened for no reason(except for the fact that nothing else was going on) went bad. An 18 wheeler slammed into the tractor pulling a flatbed trailer, killing 4 and injuring 14. The Flatbed had no lights, but on the brighter and more morbid side, in years to come, it will make a great urban legend for the local area.

In Waco, Tx, a Baptist Pastor was electrocuted while inside his church Sunday morning when he adjusted a nearby microphone while standing in water. He Died. The woman he was trying to baptize hadn't stepped in yet, so she was unharmed. One member says, "We use microphones all the time during baptisms and this has never happened." Well try stepping away from the Cadillac Dealer, and instead purchase some wireless microphones. Now this speaks to 3 points.
1) Baptists are not very intelligent. (I know....Duh)
2) They will all say this happened for a reason, but I bet they cant find a good one to give you.
3) technically I guess it is impossible that this guy died anyway, since to have done so he needed opposable thumbs, and the Baptists don't believe in evolution, So I guess "God took him". Dumbass.

A mystery phantom smell is haunting New York City. Residents say it smells like maple syrup. I know what the real source is. Some gang put a cap in Mrs. Butterworths head and the smell is her ghost haunting the city with her sweet buttery smell.

A poll shows more Britons believe in ghosts than in God. Interesting....

BEWARE of candy laced with poison and needles and razors. NOT! This semi Urban Legend flys around every year. I don't know that it has ever really happened, and if it has, it was very Isolated. If this type of thing happened like people thought it did, there wouldn't be so many damn kids running around, in fact, there wouldn't be so many Damn adults running around either.

And now, some Jack'O Lantern Halloween Lore:

It was said that if a demon were to encounter something as fiendish looking as themselves, they would run away in terror.
In Ireland - the tradition was to carve out turnips, but now it seems pumpkins are all the rage.
According to folklore, the Jack O'Lantern is named after a blacksmith Stingy Jack who tricked the devil into paying for his drinks.
Unable to enter heaven or hell when he died, the devil threw him a burning ember.
He was left to wander the earth carrying it about inside a turnip - or should that be a pumpkin?
Ronald Greenway grows up to 10 acres of turnips near Dungannon in County Tyrone.
Hallowe'en used to be his busiest time - but not any more.
"When I was small, I didn't know what a pumpkin was really, so I suppose we used the next best thing, a turnip."
At the Ulster American Folk Park - they have been growing pumpkins in the run-up to their Halloween festival.
Irish immigrants took the tradition of the Jack O'Lantern with them to America, as Rachel Craig, an interpreter at the park explains.
"In Ireland, people cut out heads and faces of turnips and hid them in the hedgerows as a prank during Halloween and they would have carried the tradition over to America."
But when they arrived in the New World, they just could not find any turnips, so they used pumpkins instead.
And now that Halloween has become more commercial, the American tradition has become more common.
Liam Corry, the assistant curator of the Ulster American Folk Park, says folklore is constantly evolving.
"Each generation creates its own folklore drawing on the traditions of the past and also the needs of the present.
"So with Halloween, it started off as a commercial sort of thing and pumpkins were introduced from America for creating a bit of atmosphere."
But perhaps the proof as to why pumpkins are more popular now is in the eating.
Once you have scooped out a pumpkin you can make pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup.
While the good old turnip, well, you can make turnip surprise.

In the news...

Well the top story, at least for me, George Takei, who as helmsman Sulu steered the Starship Enterprise through three television seasons and six movies, has come out. That's right, Mr Takei is gay. The most pleasant suprise for me was on all of the message boards I have read that are trek related today, no one has said one bad thing about it. I have heard from people who have met him, that he is the nicest and most pleasant, intelligent person you could ever meet. He and his partner have been together for 18 years. I am very happy to have someone so distinguished (and close to my heart) in the community. The other nice part is that the world came to know him and love him, and he was gay this whole time, and I am sure for a lot of those people they would have never wanted to see his work if they knew. Good for you George.

In FREDERICA, Delaware, The suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration. Which if she haunts the area now, must really suck for her ghost, because suicide is a cry for help, and no one noticed for a while. So what have we learned, don't commit suicide in October, or people will think you are a really good decoration.

And this weekend it is Halloween. There is a party, sans maze, and lots of fun stuff to do I am sure. I don't like it when holidays happen on a Monday, but what are you gonna do. Don't forget to set your clocks this weekend. Its daylight retard time again. Anyway everyone have a safe and happy Halloween weekend.

Oh Look, a post...

A New Hampshire Republican senator won over 800K in the powerball lottery. Now isn't that a bitch. As if he doesn't have enough money already, now he is even richer. I guess it isn't his fault though, it is a gamble so he has a right to win. But by the looks of his photo, I hope that is enough money to cover a personality transplant poindexter.

More surfers bitten by shark news this week. I get the love of surfing, but really, you people go out there and marinate in salty water (Which I hear makes you tender B.T.W.), and then are shocked and horrified when a shark takes a chunk out of your tender thigh. I have heard sharks don't really like the taste of people, its their way of Taking all they want, but eating all they take, and they just don't like us for dinner. I don't know how this conclusion was arrived at, but that's what they say. But if these surfers keep getting sampled by the shark population, they may develop a taste for us even more than they have, and that's a reality show that writes itself. Jaws: Out Swim, Out Last, Don't Die......

A mother in San Francisco tossed her 3 children into the bay, so far only one body has been found. But she claims she couldn't help it, MMMMMmmm She heard Voices, and Dogs commanded her to do things. The Voices said, "Throw your children into the water." However investigators have found that two yuppies were under the pier, and one told the other, "Throw some sushi to that otter." A simple mistake that could happen to anyone, No?

Petting Zoos, be on alert. Your little animals are giving kids E.COLI!!!! Parents are being warned of the danger. HEY PARENTS, have you seen goats and donkeys and other petting zoo animals? They're Nasty, you shouldn't let your kids touch them for that reason alone. Besides, if the animal can be found in a crappy neibours back yard, its no zoo, its a farm, but who's gonna go to a farm and pay 8 bucks to milk Betsy?

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) -- A 93-year-old driver apparently suffering from dementia fatally struck a pedestrian and drove for three miles with the man's body through his windshield. Just another reason that Wilma needs to get her act together and wipe that state clean. I have never liked Florida, and I probably never will. The people there are weird and their businesses are shady. I think we should let nature reclaim Americas Wang, or Bushyland, as I like to think of it. Nothing good comes from Florida, except gator tails and oranges, and you can get both of those things from other places much nicer. Screw you Florida, and screw your demented, petrified drivers, who try to be nice by picking up passengers for free, but ask that they securely fasten the windshield around their waste for safety.

Finally, in the Local news, nothing is going on here. Have a good weekend people.

Stuff on Friday...

So not really much in the news today or this week for that matter. President Shrub had a fake teleconference with some military personell, which was promoted as totally unscripted, just to find out that it was totally scripted and the soldiers were coached and told how to speak what to say and how to express their faces. Hey George, if you are gonna bullshit the American people, not like anyone watched the damn thing anyway, try not to get caught. Lots of people died this week in Iraq, big suprise. But more importantly, over 30,000 people have died in the east due to the earthquake. That is a crap load of people. I know we are sending money over there, and I think we should. Because all the money we are raising and what not for the Hurricane crap hee, isnt doing squat, so we may as well use it for people who need it in a bad way, and will probably use if correctly, hopefully anyway. I dont know that much else is going on really, kind of a slow news month so far. Not much funny. But keep a smile on, you never know when something funny or quirky may happen, and I will tell you about it. Like the longest nipple hair in the world, 3.5 inches, which belongs to Tyler Ing who is a student at the University of Western Ontario. He will be featured in the 2006 Guiness book of World Records. So good for him, and Eewww. Well have a good weekend people.

Well Since you asked...

Just a note for people who may not have talked to us recently, James LOVES his job. He feels like it is a really good long term fit, and his office seems really fun. Just a Perk Preview, he gets free unlimited fountain drinks (Not water fountain, soda, dummy), Halloween Fun, food days and full benefits, and much much more. I can tell a difference in his mood and he seems much happier and relaxed at the end of the day, and much less tired. So He is happy, and when he is happy that means I am happy. And when I am happy........

People DIE!!!!





Oh wait, that's not right, well anyway, you know what I mean. Hope to blog more soon. Have a good one people.

AAAHHHBULLSHIT....

So much fun was had this weekend at the little get together. I want to thank Bekka and Lesley, Megan, Angel and Amanda, and Jen for coming to the House of Knives for the party. It was a lot of fun, and it was good to have people over to the apartment. I really enjoyed the game Megan taught us too, it was AAhhhfun. Saturday was filled with MANY destinations, but most of all Halloween shopping!!! That was also very fun. DAMN Satan for making so many delicious yet, expensive Halloween Decorations. One day we will posses them. The drive to work with James was fun today, and it will be nice to have the company on the way home as well. Any way, good times all around. Have a good week people.
