Hallowe'en is coming....

[Mahdi]

Oddly enough, a search for Halloween here on FED2k found me threads from 2002 - 2005, but nothing since.

Have we all grown out of the season of spooks and goblins?

Anyone start to decorate there homes yet?  Carve Jack O'Lanterns?  Pick out costumes?  Eat candy?

I put up some homemade ghosts the other day, but nothing else (because we have nothing else).  Going to Fort Fright and doin the ghosts walk this coming weekend with my girlfriend and sister, carving some pumpkins the next day.

I don't think its too big in Germany, although there are a few themed parties at the clubs.

Never really got into Halloween, probably just go down to the pub.

[Andrew]

Going to big party Friday night where a DJ is playing. Then house party Saturday night.

Both Halloween themed.

Don't have a costume, and have worn the same crappy costume for about 4 years. I can't even describe it really, it sucks so much. Put on Alexander Keiths green antlers (I think was for his b'day 5 years ago, or st. paddys day).

As usual, I've been getting into the mood by watching movies.  Yesterday was Seven, today From Hell.  I've also been watching all of the Simpsons Treehouse ofHorror episodes in order.  Next is #8.

My Jack O'Lantern only lasted a week before it was infested by some horrible mold that destroyed in in another two days.  Have to carve another before Saturday!

[Dunenewt]

I really need to think up an outfit by Saturday...any ideas?  Anything Dune related?

[Mahdi]

I saw msn advertising those $130/eye Dune contact lenses a couple of weeks ago.....

[Dunenewt]

If I could buy them I really would!

[Khan]

I'm going to my girlfriends birthday as Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas my mate's going as Raoul Duke/Thompson so it should be an awesome night,

Everyone is going to be Michael Jackson or balloon boy.

Michael Jackson's personal paradise - nothing but him and little boys.

Yes, (no) Yes! and YES!

Pumpkins on the steps (thought they looked better uncarved), candy is already purchased and mostly eaten (I've got a hose for the damned child-vermin) and a StarTrek TNG-era Commander-rank bridge officer uniform ready and waiting!

[Andrew]

I hope grocery stores put Halloween candy on sale after October 31. MMM Lots of cheap candy.

Me and my other half went to a Halloween party last night, but he and I didn

[Mahdi]

We bought chocolate bars the other day... will have to buy more before Halloween....

[chatfsh]

Funny how that tends to happen. :)

We'll go buy our goodies and treats today. We made the decision to hold off buying them any sooner so as to avoid the temptation of eating them all before Halloween. Yummy sweets.

[Andrew]

No big sales for candy today at grocery stores. Maybe I'll stop by Monday.

[exatreide]

Just finished 2 weeks of training with Navy Seals and Green Berets, so I might just take it easy for the next few days for soreness sake, or head to the pub or hang out with some friends. To early to tell at this point.

Probably just throw on a guy fawks mask

Oh yeh baby!

That's me on the left ;D

[Dunenewt]

Long time no see!  Nice picture! 

Because of where I come from, the other English guys tried to make me dress like a farmer, although because I only had limited resources I think I looked more like Oliver Twist!

[Kiyouta]

Haha ya, just about to knock out Khan with a spatula! (didn't have a fly swat...)

Always fun to dress up!

[Dunenewt]

Are you at university these days?

Yeah its fun to dress up, but its really hard to find stuff out here in Germany.  I miss going to Primark, buying some very cheap clothes and making the outfit myself with lots of accessories, a pair of scissors, and some felt tip pens.
