Talk to the Goat
The tour reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit with snot-nosed teenagers who fancied themselves gothic witches and warlocks and such, that is until their mom got home and had them do the dishes.
Scary movies and I do not get along but I really enjoy a scary book. I don't get it.
I also don't get the whole Halloween = slut night. I'm not saying I haven't participated because I have and I will again, I just don't think that it's necessary to go out dressed in a costume when that "costume" involves as little fabric as possible.
Don't kid yourself The Lion King is one scary motherfucking movie. When the hyenas start torturing the zebras with the hydochloric acid I about passed out.
I'm not sure how we got from "creative costumes are cool" to "sexy costumes are cool" but I'm not really opposed to the trend, either. My guess is that it has to do with the feeling in most of us that we're comfortable looking sexy, but looking goofy is unsexy and consequently uncool. So which trampy costume will you wear?
one year my husband and i went as batman and robin (i was robin) and we won a contest we didn't even know about, woohoo!!!
i like scary movies, the part i don't like is not being able to sleep afterwards. happy halloween to jason, i guess and happy tuesday to you
Yeah... happy Tuesday... or Wednesday as it nearly is here.
Count me in for the Lion King...
Indeed, some of the costumes for women on Halloween are perplexing. Its Halloween, not Ho-loween!
I'm with you, Jay. Having been a teacher for so long got me damn tired of holidays in general. They made life difficult in the classroom. But I smiled through it. Now I don't have to anymore.
We used to get a kick out of ghost tours. Once in New Hope, PA, we found ourselves standing outside of an inn listening to the caped tour guide talk about this haunted room inside. We soon relaized she was talking about OUR room. There were no spectral visions that night, however, unless you want to count my wife sleep walking to the bathroom several times, which she does EVERY night.
I still can't eat anything with artificial cinnamon flavouring after an incident with goldschlager in high school.
I'm with you Jay. I made the mistake of watching "The Amityville Horror" three days ago. As I walked into my dark, lonely house, all I could think to myself was "Jenn, you're such a fucking moron. WHY did you subject yourself to that?" and then proceeded to spend the night in bed, with the lights on, trying to sleep, and then spending hours reading "cheerful" books to banish the image of corpses hanging from the ceiling...
I declined an invitation to attend a pimps and hos party this year. I don't need an excuse to dress like a skank.
aww cmon, let your inner ho out!
Goldschlager on top of anything is a bad idea.
AWWWEEE!!
I love the Lion King! But, I love scarey movies too!
I am not an adult costume person either.
I hate dressing up, but it's fun to dress my Spawn.
Hope it's a good one!
Ok, first things first... Goldschlager (sp?) - YUMMY!!! My favorite shot of all time.
Second, I couldn't agree more with the trampiest day of the year. I was at a bar the other night (who knew it was dress up night??) and I saw more sluts/tramps/hos/pirates wanting to be hos/ cats wanting to be hos/ and other various other I want to be a ho costume then I ever thought possible!
My boyfriend wanted me to dress as "sexy nurse" for Halloween. I asked him if he'd heard of Nurse Crachet, since that was the only nurse he'd be getting if he mentioned "sexy nurse" again.
Love your blog, mind if I blogroll you?
Mmmmmmmm. Goldschlager. Reminds me of the good (bad) old days. And I agree, not that I mind seeing women dressed up as sexy anythings, but when did Halloween get to be all about sex? I'm gonna pass out candy and tune in to Monsterfest on AMC tonight while reading a good book. Hope you find one too Jay. Happy Tramp-o-ween!

Um, you might want to skip my post this year
Happy Halloween, Jay!
I am partial to sexy cheerleader.
as you might know old Snagley was a college cheerleader.
I don't "do" scary movies..... I won't sleep for a month if I did!
Happy Halloween Jay!
I can't do scary movies either....I act like I'm brave when someone wants me to watch one, but then I cower down and close my eyes through it all...he he P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog...stop by anytime!
Lol! I know what you mean about trampy costumes. I went to a party this Sat. and was Rainbow Bright. The costume arrived the day of, so I didn't realize how SHORT it was until I put it on! Needless to say, the entire world saw my underwear that night. However, I was a minor celebrety for all the women at the party!
We can win money today at work for a costume. I'm dressing up as a web, my roommate is a black widow spider.
Weird costumes you make yourself are more fun anyway (and you can keep your underwear to yourself
I had to look up "caveat", now I feel dumb. I blame the Smurfs.
Can fish swim lustily?
Is that the same as swimming with gusto? Or is it more like swimming with unbridled enthusiasm?
Swimming with vigor?
So many questions...
I have watched my share of scary movies (my ex was addicted to them) but I always find them humorous instead of scary.
Halloween is definitely the trashiest day of the year. A couple of years ago my friend and I went to the only gay club in town for their Halloween bash. there is nothing more entertaining then sexy nurse/angel/devil in drag!
Dressing up can be fun.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do it for a while.
re: goldschlager: it's an easy mistake to make 
A Goldschlager story (not a Halloween story):
When I was in college several of my friends got so shitfaced on Goldschlager that we became convinced we had to save the gold flakes (ie, fish them out of the liquor) because "Holy shit, that's GOLD, man! We could buy stuff with it!!"). Yeah.
And it could be urban legend, but I've heard the gold flakes are in the alcohol to make minute cuts in your esophagus so that the alcohol hits your bloodstream faster. Now that's thinkin', Lincoln!
I enjoy Halloween but can never come up with a good costume, so I don't bother.
However, I have no problem with a day dedicated to women in trashy attire. In fact I would encourage it.
Those HO based costumes have spread to kids too. I don't know how many "diva" or "rock star" costumes I've seen with bellies showing and the other parts are skimpy. Not happenin at my house. No Ma'am.
I'm with you on the Lion King. What is it with Disnaey's obsession to kill parents in his child friendly movies?
I think there is a hidden message in there, and now I sleep with one eye open...
Sexy costumes are always cool. Slutty ones are not. That's always been my thinking, sugar.
If you ever get the opportunity to vist a corn maze, you have to go. Don't go alone, take a flashlight and pee before you go. They take about 1 - 1 1/2 hours to get out. I hope you can get to this link. Just like a rat in a maze.

Ah, Jay, that's the saddest recounting of Halloween's I've ever read. You have been screwed by the holiday goblin! I wish I could package up some real Halloween fun and send it to you!
Jello shots and Goldschlager..........happy Halloween indeed hehehe!
We've been meaning to do the Haunted Walk for a while now. Maybe we'll have to do the Bawdy Walk of Ottawa instead.
I just had a memory of dressing up like...I don't remember exactly what...and lying on the front lawn at your house and when a group of trick-or-treaters would come down the drive way we'd jump up and scare the crap out of them!
Now THAT was a good time.
I love scary movies. I love feeling like I could just jump out of my skin! The last time I 'dressed up' for halloween I was pregnant and Joe painted my belly. Then we found out he was allergic to the paint and his hand got all red and itchy and he was not a happy little Ceasar that year. (Girl was Cleopatra)
The Lion King is very, very scary. Hidden Satanic messages and all ...
Happy Halloween!

I have to admit that I've had my share of trampy costumes. Of course, before I was diagnosed bipolar, I was a tramp so that's my excuse. :P
I must have been 23 at the time and worked as a cocktail waitress at a popular nightclub. I went as "Chicago's finest." This was back when hot shorts (or pants) were in fashion, so I sported a black pair of those along with combat boots and an actual Chicago Police uniform shirt, unbuttoned with the bottoms tied at my waist. Bra tops were all the rage back then, too, so that's what I wore underneath the shirt.
So I take it they didn't have "sexy cop" in that section? LOL
I'm all about the anti-tramp. I really wanted to be Waldo Decoy this year, remember? But Hoop really wanted me to be a black angel... in a tight black dress... with huge black heels. Think he's playing out some kind of twisted fantasy here?
I honestly don't remember the first Halloween party I ever attended. I do remember one of the first though being in my basement though. There were costumes. There were prizes. My friend and I had surprisingly similiar sounding names (Shannon and Janet) and we both thought we won a prize. To this day I still don't know who did.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween...I just use the whole bleepin day as another excuse to just kick back & shove anything chocolate into my big fat mouth.
Has NOTHING to do with today's post but nice new template you got here. Is this to celebrate halloween and fall or is it here to stay?
Love the stuffed goat.
Yeah, we also did our local tour of haunted places here in podunk, usa.
...I thought the Lion King was scary...
We did a "haunted" walk in Ottawa this summer and it was very lame.
Know where to score a copy of Leisure Suit Larry 1?
You might not want to read my (very long) Halloween posting if you are anti-sexy/skanky costumes. *blush*
As for Goldschlager, I got my first taste of it this summer in a shot called "Liquid Cocaine"... it tasted deliciously cinnamony on the way down and then burnt a hole in my stomach for an hour afterwards.
Happy Halloween !
Can I come to the party ?
Thats all I saw was in all the ads I got for costume shops is kids outfits, men outfits and women slut outfits!!!!! They even have a sexy Dorothy!!!!!
Sorry jac, maybe next year
no doubt. there were walls lined with the "bring out your inner tramp" costumes... the only one i wanted was a sponge bob box that slipped over your head, and of course they were out of those.
i had to resort to wearing a pair of wings, and my jeans... it was comfy!
