Puyallup School District officials announced last week that Halloween festivities would be canceled in order to stop losing instructional time and to avoid offending believers in the Wiccan religion, sometimes known as witches.

What kind of cock-gobbling mess is this. I'm so fucking glad I'm not a kid in this day and age.Halloween kicked ass when I was little, my fav. was when I was darth vader(still have the mask).

PS: Poll- What was your favorite Halloween and why? What costume did you wear that year?

[Awesome]

yeah a friend of mine is dressin up as hitler too, and one of my roomates as Jesus. it's gonna be weird seein' Jesus and Hitler hangin out but worth a good laugh.

and about the news article, some people (americans mostly) go way too far with bullshit... like not offending witches. only american witches would be offended by halloween. somewhat like the way american religious groups were offended by their kids reading harry potter a few years ago. i think you guys (americans) just make up bullshit to get all upset over just so you have something to do.

I remember when it was about paying your respects to the dead. Nowadays they are trying to celebrate some sort of american halloween here, it breaks my heart to say no to all the poor candybeggars but someone has to do it.

I was dressed as Emporor Palpatine from Return of the Jedi a couple years ago. Had the rubbery mask, the dark cloak and the evil laugh ready to go. This kid walks up to the door in an M&M suit, he couldn't have been more than four. Result:

*ding-dong*
(before the door opens fully)
Kid: Twickotweet
Me: ONLY IF YOU JOIN THE DARK SIDE, YOUNG ONE.
Kid: stares like *O M F G* then tears of running and screaming his fool head off.

What's better is that instead of chasing after him his mom is standing there laughing her fool head off. I love Halloween. :up:

There's lots of wiccans at my school and they dress up for Halloween. Doesn't bother them at all or anything. Today was costume day and we all wore costumes to school, some of them were really great. One person had an inflatible costume, and it was a sumo wrestler. It was great.

Trick or Treaters should be shot, they should all fuckin die.
