THIS IS A THREAD FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE HALLOWEEN!→[More:]AND WHO WANT TO SHOUT!
STUPID EVERYTHING2 WENT DOWN JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE UNABLE TO ADD THIS TO THE ORIGINAL POST! THIS IS A SELF LINK! IT'S REASONS WHY I DON'T LIKE THIS DAY! NACHO VIGALONDO!
I knew this old guy, right, who said he hated Halloween. He was like, “Bah, Humbug!” and stuff about the holiday. But then, one year, these like three ghosts showed up at his place, and they totally scared the shit outta him. And after that, they bombed his house with toilet paper and put eggs in his mailbox.
but we've only had one trick or treater so far and that sucks because I'm sitting here drinking coffee waiting for them with a bowl of Hershey's miniatures. Get on it kids!
I DON'T HATE HALLOWEEN BUT I LIKE TO SHOUT! I LOVE HALLOWEEN! HA! I LIKE TO DRESS UP! I LIKE CARVING PUMPKINS! I LIKE CANDY! I LIKE SPIDERS AND SKULLS! I AM SAD BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL NOT GET ANY TRICK OR TREATERS! MAYBE I WILL PUT OUT A BOWL OF TOOTSIE POPS ANYWAY!
i think it's really bizarre that my "suck it haters" phrase, which was a tongue-in-cheek preemptive strike against the people who don't like the abbreviation "axeme," has seemed to have struck a chord and become a mini-meme.
Thanks for this, wolfdaddy. I fucking hate halloween. It's just another holiday designed to sell you stupid shit, like christmas and valentines day. Luckily, this year I paid my brother $20 to hand out candy so I don't have to.
I thought about trying to make some kind of candy razor blades and stick them in apples then handing them out as treats but I couldn't really come up with how to do it.
Keswick, sometimes no other phrase will do. I don't know how I functioned without it so long.
It's now time for me to "inspect" my child's candy. All the Snickers are suspicious and must be confiscated. (Candy inspection is the greatest ruse perpetrated on children since Santa.)
Ha, ha, ha. We are having thunderstorm with drenching rain, thunder and lightning. This is rare weather here and unusual for this time of year. Maybe the power will go out.
They even decorated for halloween in my spin class, for cryin out loud.
Not to mention even my theology class tonight contained one young lady dressed as a Dallas Cowboy cowgirl (NOT cheerleader. That would have indeed been a bit scandalous.)
Man, Halloween can suck my ass. The stupid fucking parade made me have to walk five blocks out of my way to get to swimming and then I had to thake the subway to get across Sixth on my way home. And I hate all the girls whose costumes just make them look like whores and the way that's expected now.
A bunch of girls came to our door in their school uniforms saying they were dressed as "skanky schoolgirls". Because my partner works at the high school, she knew that was no costume but the simple truth - they are skanky. If you insist on celebrating this stupid whatever-it-is that we have only ever heard of in this country because of TV, at least put some effort in. They got no lollipops from us.
