Okay God,
I know it’s Sunday, I know it’s time for God Chat but this is serious God and being that you’re in charge of everything I expect that you will have an interest in this.
Yeah, Yeah- I know it’s Saturday but tough it’s Sunday somewhere PLUS Halloween is just days away so we have to settle this NOW.
First of all
I know Global Warming is bad…it’s a sin and the irony that Earth will end up looking like Hell for what we’re doing to it is not lost on me.
but God…God Damn…A Green Halloween?
Healthy snacks? Experience Nature? Linen and dinnerware from The Pottery Barn?
This isn’t Halloween- this is the way they celebrate Halloween at an Old Folks Home-and guess what- most of the old people I KNOW would be laughing so hard at this lame idea that they’d wet their Depends.
And then to make it worse…this Green Halloween group wants a sugar free Halloween…good thing one of the “leaders” has a site you can go to so that you can buy stuff ( impress me…give it away )
Which brings me to this.
Today I read about this Lizzie Borden Halloween Prop that costs THOUSANDS of dollars.
She swings an Ax up and down.
When I was a kid this family had a Haunted House set up in their basement and the Dad used to dress up like Lizzie and chase people around with an ax and he’d be screaming ” Forty Wacks! Forty Wacks for you all! “
and we’d be screaming for Jesus and our Moms.
God, it was pretty darn great and I’ll bet the entire thing didn’t cost thousands of dollars.
and the results?
Priceless.
So God, do us a favor.
Show these Heathens the light.
Halloween is all about life and death
It’s all about celebrating the things we can touch and feel and taste and smell.
It’s about not being afraid of the dark and the things that hide there.
It’s about having one night where you don’t have to whistle
as you walk by a cemetery- you can perform a full on Aria.
On this one night you don’t have to be afraid of things that go bump in the night because you can BECOME that thing that goes bump in the night
For just one night.
That is not asking for to much, is it God?
So I’ll see you Halloween Night- I’ll be the one with the mask on
( har har )
and
ahhhmeeennnnn

Messing with the tradition of candy corn and mini snickers bars is likely to damn you straight to hell in my opinion. I don’t want no health treats.
I thought someone stole your Jack-o-lantern.
Hey, you’ll be the one with all the lights around your neck. Come over to my place. I been tellin’ ya, we got candy.
Great post Anita. You crack me up.
Hi Kym
Mess with Halloween?
Is nothing sacred?
I’m all about Civil Rights- not sure how that fits but what it means is…I’ve been schooled in the arts of raising hell 🙂
Hi Kitty
Well SOMEONE is trying to steal my Jack-O-Lantern and I’m having NONE of that. I’m going to start a movement…those Granola Heads are going to be SO sorry- I mean, Kitty I’ve gone to the Dark Side- didn’t Max tell you?
amm
Yeah, I knew. LOL.
I just didn’t know if it was public yet.
Congratulations. (and hip, hip, hurray!)
As somone on the road to being “green” I can respect the point of the view of the “greenies”, but only being olive drab at the moment (I snuck an Almond Joy out of my co-workers plastic desk pumpkin), I can say if I were a kid and someone dropped a box of raisins in my bag, I’d egg their car.
I can respect it too ( all kidding aside I did provide the links to their sites ) but gads…a green Halloween?
All I can say to that is in all fairness I expect them to rough up the E.Bunny too 🙂
amm
I’m all for bitin’ heads off Peeps.
BTW, the link to “leaders” doesn’t work.
It’s a sign 🙂
No..just kidding that was a news article, it’s probably gone by now.
amm
Now come on, Anita Marie, you can be green and enjoy Halloween. Think electric saved by using lanterns; think Regan and all that green goo 🙂
Hi Tony
You know if it was all about the goo and lanters…I’m good with that.
🙂
