Decided to go with the Fairy Costume. Might change into a nurse costume for the party tonight though, we'll see.

Went for a walk around the waterfront at lunch and got lots of thumbs up for my Cookie Monster costume.
Saw one other person in some brown animal suit, and a group of 8-10 women in those dresses and hats from The Handmaid's Tale or whatever it's called.

Some of the youngsters here are starting to do trick or treating.
It's not an Aussie tradition.
Children walking the streets at night, it's a fucking pedo's paradise.
I blame the big stores for selling Halloween merchandise in bulk.
It doesn't belong here. :-(
It's not a tradition here, either, but it is gaining popularity.
Again, thanks to marketing by the big shopping chains (yet another way of milking money from people, of course, especially since Guy Fawkes night is something of a dying tradition here..
As long as the kids are escorted by responsible parents/adults, I think the tradition itself is pretty harmless and fun for the kids.
Plus, it pisses of some religious groups.

are there any of those shitty Christian based hell houses this year?
The ones where they show womens getting abortinated and actual queers kissing and God getting all pissed off and they pass out Chick Tracts when you leave ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Me and the misses were going to go to RHPS but there is only one showing tonight (that I could find) and it's sold out.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Oh it's that time of the year, and necroposting old topics about Halloween to haunt you is so Halloween.
Why don't they sell toys for kids like they did in 70s?
Maybe they could make a toy of a woman giving birth to baby Jesus and the devil waiting for it with a pitchfork.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
