31. October, 2002 - Happy Halloween / Samhain

First, to get the political news out of the way, It's official: Mondale accepts DFL nod.
Ventura Upset Over Wellstone Service's partisan tone and may appoint an Independent just to spite the DFL. [fark!]
I'm usually not a big one for dressing up and pretending to be someone I'm not. But the website can dress up a little for Samhain. Besides, it'll give Steph a chance to make fun of me for using the color pumpkin.
Speaking of Samhain, gimme That Real Old Time Religion [warning: sound].
We will all bow to Hephaestus
As a blacksmith he will test us
'Cause his balls are pure asbestos
So he's good enough for me!
Halloween, sweet tooth go together. A candy industry asssociation says that kids want candy for Halloween. I'm shocked, I tell you. [fark!]
Tight replaces fright in adult costumes. Halloween has become an excuse for women to dress up slutty. Woo! Actually, given the weather we're supposed to have here in Minnesota today (a high of 34 and a low of 17), a guy'll probably have to go to someplace indoors rather than just being able to hang out on the front steps and watch the costumes go by. Bummage. But then most of the Halloween parties around here were either last Saturday or are tomorrow. [fark!]
