I think Jack Chick's tracts have been helping to spread misinformation about a wide variety of topics over the years. Halloween is one of his favorites. Some evangelicals read them and immediately swallow his fictional "facts" hook, line, and sinker. David Skal wrote a great book called "Death Makes A Holiday" about Halloween and does a good job of addressing some of the ridiculous claims Chick makes.

Oh god. Where is this again? Because I've got to bring a few of my more..ah..unsavory friends with me when I visit. I hope you like Coolio, cuz that's what we'll be blasting when we roll through town at 20 mph!Awright Jade, lemme bring the car around. ROAD TRIP! I hope they have a Pizza Hut there...I need to eat before I raze.Funny you should say that -- the town successfully blocked the opening of a McDonald's for years, claiming an establishment "with no purpose other than to cater to bums and low-class hoodlums" would irreparably damage the place.
They did end up with a Subway shop, though.
Can I be your hood ornament?
There's nothing I love more than f%&#ing with stuck-up bigots.

Awright Jade, lemme bring the car around. ROAD TRIP! I hope they have a Pizza Hut there...I need to eat before I raze.We'll add it into our Mapquest search.
Considering the price of gas, which though much lower than it was is still high, we should probably figure out everyone who needs a visit and then plot the most economical path to visit them all. And we also need a 'just in case it gets messy' kit for the trunk.
Hey, I've got the goods, man. I know a few people, we can get rolling in a couple of days. Time to break some kneecaps.

And once more, without fail, Chick quotes "Paradise Lost" as Christian doctrine. Has this guy even read the Bible?

Evil people don't deserve functioning patellas. That's just unconscious knowledge, man.
Just don't play "F*** THA POLICE." The cops there used to set up David Letterman-specific speed traps; you could go 100 mph in a 40 mph zone and they'd give you a friendly wave -- but Letterman would be pulled over, every day, going 40.5 mph. Apparently the first time he got pulled over, he tried to play the celebrity card, and they were somewhat underwhelmed...

It's like anywhere else; it's just the evil people are a bit more vocal there. There are/were some sublimely excellent people there as well, whom I'd hate to see kneecapped.
Ah, just pull yourself together!
DYSWIJD?
LOL
ERGH. Too early for jokes on my drapery-similar name ... Maybe I should move to Australia, their WWII PM was a Curtin, maybe go to Curtin University and play the same name card. Might get me a free semester or something.

THANK YOU. Now I don't have to post my opinion, you've got it down perfectly.It became politically incorrect when someone realized that there might be some religious aspect to Halloween. My wife works for the Headstart program and the directives that came down to them is that since not everyone is Christian and because diversety must be respected Halloween is not celebrated in the Headstart program. Teachers may have a "costume day" or "pajama day," but they may not decorate for or celebrate Halloween.When lawyers were given power over the masses, the minority became empowered to decide what is best for the majority. Politically correct is now bent to whatever your agenda is. Halloween is ripe for the taking. It is a Pagan thing that superstition keeps afloat. I am sure many religions would happily wipe it off the face of the earth. The major obstacle is our Candy Vendors who would definitely object to its being suppressed. Aside from that, it is a shame that our culture is being stripped away bit by bit till we forget what was special about being alive. I remember making witches and ghosts from cut paper and decorating the classroom. I rememeber all the cool scary mystique that transformed my world into something wonderfully atmospheric. I am ashamed of this correct world that we live in. It hurts more than it fixes.

Only if you assess penalty deductions from that five minutes for stuttering and hem-hawing...
um, that would be "100 kilo-g", don't sell me short (the Feds sure as heck didn't...) ;)
"100-Kilo-G looked up and gave a grin..." somehow just doesn't have the same rhythm and cadence.

Not that's just funny.you do realize i was given an article 15 when i was in the army for playing NWA, which led to an incident, and me telling the full bird colonel hearing the case that the army wouldn't have this problem if they stopped recruiting klan members...
the whole fiasco was kinda funny, the extra duty and post restriction kinda sucked..
|
Honestly that is pretty funny. I almost got an Article 15 for threating to shoot a full bird colonel, but the base commander came down on my side after I explained that he tried to break a cordon during a nuclear upload. The colonel got the Article 15 instead. And there did seem to be a large number of Klan members when I was in.

I'm writing this down. Hold on. Okay... adding in special penalties for those with speech pathologies... gotcha.
What else?

If by "pathologies" you mean "impediments", that isn't what i'm saying at all, i mean more like "evasive and embarrassed" ;)

I knew I had the wrong word... but was too dazed after work to recall it. A friend of mine became a speech pathologist and my brain just grabbed that word.
And of course I was just kidding, I deliberately misrepresented your point for humor's sake, but for some reason humor responded with, "Don't do me any more favors" and kicked me squarely in the groin.
HEY GUYS/GALS... SURPRISE
A Halloween extra from Mistress Lilith and su servidor(me)!
I hope you LOVE it ;)
PS: Sorry in advance for all those Avatars who haven't arrived to the party yet...

Teachers may have a "costume day" or "pajama day," but they may not decorate for or celebrate Halloween.Wait, I think I inferred your post incorrectly. Are you saying they believed that Halloween is a Christian holiday?I hope not...
In Germany the last few years christian churches reacted poorly to the rapidly growing trend to celebrate halloween, because they realized it is an old pagan hollyday and most kids celebrating "dont remember" the meaning of the following (christian) day (that probably has been put on that day by early european christians to make use of the traditional pagan hollyday)...
The word Halloween on the other hand is derived from the christian hollyday and stands for All Hallows Eve'
See what pagans can do? We create holidays that while fun now, had a totally different meaning hundreds of years ago.....
