Interesting that the world celebrates a time of death and decay.

And I watched the marathon that USA network had on of NCIS on Halloween

I agree -—here’s to Ducky!

[mware]

Did you hear the answer Gibbs gave the woman when she asked what Ducky was like when he was young???

He told her Illya Kaliakian. (sp)

[the long march]

That’s Illya Kuryakin for the unfamiliar -—— The Man From Uncle Illya was the side kick.

And yeah that is one of the great lines of all time

Wow, whats with the over-sensitive reaction from butthurt ninnies like you and various others here to a tongue in cheek article in a newspaper (a conservative one might add) from someone who is also a self-confessed anglophile?

Try some Hemorrhoid Cream....

we’re a freakin’ ocean away... it’s not our fault you all picked up on our Halloween traditions—a holiday that does not have its roots here...

We ran out of candy this year. I cut the outside lights off and guess what? No one rang our bell after that.

I think you & I just solved the issue and we can move on to the next issue. :-)

I noticed is the Hispanic kids said “Happy Halloween” instead of “Trick or Treat.” Even though the kids who were not Hispanic said “Trick or Treat,” enough of them said “Happy Halloween” to make me wonder if there is a PC push.

IOW:
Trick or Treat is just so mean. Witches have feelings too.
Happy Halloween is so cheerful!

In a few years we will be living in HappyLand
Happy Halloween
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Holidays
Happy Spring Holiday
Happy Autumn Holiday
