Pre-Halloween party?

Reminds me of the job I had in high school doing basic construction work and groundskeeping...on more than one occasion we would have a meeting to plan out what we would do at the pre-meeting for the actual meeting.

Just another holiday for Businesses to profit from.. I can say its fun for kids though, nothing else really.

OK, show of hands, how many people are tempted to dress their little kids as penguins?

(No, we don't have kids.)

Only if you buy into it. For me, it's the one day a year that 'normal' people get to dress and act as their freaky secret alter-egos. Halloween is as much fun as you make it, and there is nothing wrong with a good costume party either.

Just wondering, how did Halloween come about? I can figure thanks giving and the Christan Holiday's, but Halloween?

Me personally I prefer thanksgiving more, I like to eat the 14 lbs of food as quickly as I can

I am going to Philly, but not party - work, but I'll make sure I go trick or treat for an ol' good philly steak.

Something truly scary would be to force linux users to use windows forever.

We should go as the tux and the microsoft butterfly. The butterfly will get tossed in the punch bowl.
