He said "Ween"......

Does anyone out there like watching the Halloween movies? Which one is your favorite? Every year, I watch the Beavis and Butthead Halloween special. It's stupid, but I can't resist. It's called Butt-O-Ween! ha Ha! Getting back to my initial question though. I was referring to the Michael Myers movies. They're my favorite. My personal fave is Halloween H20. It's the one with LLCoolJ. It's pretty good and much more contemporary than the others. I mean, how many of those scenes in a random barn can someone tolerate? I wouldn't even know where to find a barn now, although I know there are tons out there.

It's a total Buzzkill!
I don't mean that I think Halloween is a buzzkill. I mean that our neighborhood on Halloween is a buzzkill. We got 8 trick or treaters this year. That's ridiculous. I don't mean 8 groups of kids. I mean, 8 kids. The last one got the treat of his life. We practically took the entire bowl and dumped it into his bag because we didn't want to be left with all of that sugar in the house.

I remember when I was little, we used to go to school in the morning, then run home for lunch, change into our Halloween costume, and run back to school. That afternoon, we'd have a parade around the school and then we ran home and went trick or treating for hours. Does anyone else remember doing this? I remember filling several plastic grocery store bags with candy. I trick or treated like it was my livelihood.

Funny story - Most of my friends have heard this story before, but it's worth repeating. My friend, Mike Cimini (anyone out there know him?) and I went trick or treating when I was a freshman at St. Bonaventure. Possibly a mistake, but whatever. We go to this lady's house and she says "You fellows are rather large" - Mike without missing a beat at all says "Oh yea, well you're not so small yourself"....

Rude, but it was so funny! You should always get a few moments like that in life.
