Halloweeeeeeeeeeen......

WOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOoOoOoOoOoOOOOOOOooooooo

Fine have sensible answers

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash


From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash


The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son


The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"


They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash


Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash


Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you


Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

I like Halloween because food. CANDY!

Well this was a usefull thread.

So who had a good Halloween?

As most people know without me telling you the full name of Halloween is All Hallows’ Eve.
The original celebrations stemmed from harvest festivals and festivals of the dead, most of which came from Pagan belief.
When I was growing up we were taught it came from the Christian belief and All Saints’ Day.
In school I usually just spent the whole time learning about witches and mythology and stupid things like that but as you all know America made the commercial side. A quick look on wiki says that pumkin carving became big in about 1837 but didn’t become a Halloween thing till the mid-to-late 19th century.
I don’t think there is really a big reason why America does it, it probably was just another excuse to have a holiday but we seem to do it in the biggest style. We usually have houses done up for most of the month as haunted houses, everyone usually dresses up in some shape or form. We play games and tend to watch a lot of horror movies.
It might sound a waste of time but it usually is a time when people are actually usually a lot nicer to each other for no reason other than the fact that the kiddies are getting sweets. It isn’t the same as in England were it seems to be taboo and there are horror stories of people doing things to the candy, it might happen a little here but we tend to go into it with good faith and it pays off. I’ve never been anywhere near a news article saying that kids were doped or something.

I do love Christmas, though this year and last year it has been ruined by working Boxing Day. I wouldn't mind just last year we only got 2 customers in the shop and one of them was coming back no matter what as he had been in as they closed on Christmas Eve and wanted to buy something so this year I'm expecting one customer .
