Halloween Report
Yes, all the news that's fit to print.
This is my first Halloween in my home.
And this is a newly built community. So, I really had no idea how much candy I needed. So, I bought three bags a bag of baby ruth, M & Ms and a bag of Milky Way. Each one had over 20 wrappers! And, the kids started coming around 5:45 pm - which is what I expected. However, I was totally cleaned out by 7 pm! Ran out of candy completely. I have one milky way left. I counted at least 50 kids and I know I lost count when a rather large group of almost teenagers showed up like a wolfpack! My Best Guess is that I had about 60 kids show up. It was great. I loved the babies in strollers with their mommies and daddies taking them trick or treating - and you KNOW the baby cant eat it....its for the parents...but still cute!

60 kids, that's alot. We got 10 maybe 15. But Cap'm Jack Sparrow showed up so it was worth it. Anybody want 45 mini Almond Joy bars? I may get sick if I eat one more.

I love Halloween! LOL!!!!
Really this is my favorite holiday..when I was a kid - free candy. When I got older...women and girls dress up sexy sexy! You have sexy french maid, sexy alice in wonderland, sexy catwoman...need I go one?
Even Scarier Halloween Costumes: Dress Your 8 Year Old Girl Up Like A Bus-Station Whore!
Yes, it does seem that Halloween is now officially an excuse for women to dress up like whores, and I have no problem with that. The Sexy Nurse costume is a crowd pleaser in a way that the Not Sexy Mouldering Zombie costume is not.
But for 8 year olds? Do little girls really need to dress up as the Sexy Fairy Princess?
Gabby Cirenza wanted to be a referee for Halloween. The
outfit she liked had a micro-mini black skirt and a form-fitting black
and white-striped spandex top held together with black laces running up
the flesh-exposing sides. She looked admiringly at the thigh-high black
go-go boots that could be bought as an accessory. And she thought the
little bunny on the chest was cute.
"Absolutely not," said her mother, Cheryl. "That is so not happening."
Gabby is 11.
And the Playboy Racy Referee costume was only the latest that her
mother had vetoed one pre-Halloween-crazed afternoon at Party City in
Baileys Crossroads as too skimpy, too revealing, too suggestive .
Bawdy Halloween costumes, however, have become the season's hottest
sellers in recent years. Not just for women, but for girls, too. And
parents such as Cirenza don't like it.
Gabby eyed the Sexy Super Girl but decided against it. A friend at her
Catholic school had worn that costume for a Halloween parade and pulled
the already short miniskirt way up to cover her tummy. "That didn't
look very good." But Gabby did like the Aqua Fairy, a vampy get-up with
a black ripped-up skirt, black fishnet tights and blue bustier that
comes in medium, large and preteen. A medium fits a child of 8.
No.
How about the Funky Punk Pirate Pre-Teen, with an off-the-shoulder blouse and bare midriff?
No.
Gabby pointed to the Fairy-Licious Purrrfect Kitty Pre-Teen, which,
according to the package, includes a "pink and black dress with lace
front bodice and sassy jagged skirt with tail. . . . Wings require some
assembly."
Cheryl Cirenza shook her head in exasperated disbelief. "This is all so
inappropriate. It's really disturbing," she said, eyeing a wall of such
girl and preteen costumes as Major Flirt in army green, the
bellybutton-baring Devilicious and a sassy, miniskirted French Maid,
pink feather duster included. She'd just turned down her 13-year-old
daughter's request for a Sexy Cop outfit. "When I was their age, I was
a bunch of grapes."
But that was back in the days when Halloween was still a homemade kind
of holiday, when an old sheet with eyeholes was a perfectly acceptable
ghost and clumsily carved pumpkins on the front porch were about as
elaborate as the decorations got. Now, Halloween is big business.
Americans are expected to spend upwards of $5 billion this year on
candy, ghoulish decorations and costumes. And the hottest trend in
costumes, retailers say, is sexy. And young.
Top Ten Best-Selling Pre-Teen Halloween Costumes
10. "Sexy Malaysian Child Whore"
9. "Scary Ghost (Who Whores Herself Out On The Side)"
8. "Daddy's Little Money-Maker"
7. "Frankenstrumpet," an undead whore built from the body parts of other, lesser whores
6. "Jodie Foster From Taxi Driver"
5. "Viking Queen Who Has Low Self-Esteem Due To Emotionally Distant
Alcoholic Father And Who Moonlights As Stripper at 'Valhalla 69,' And
Is Also A Part-Time Whore"
4. "Jailbait Orthodontist"
3. "Future Contestant In Huster's Beaver Hunt Feature (PS, Also a Whore)"
2. "Sexy Mermaid," with optional sash reading "Note: That Stupid Fish-Tail Only Begins Past My Genitals"
...and the Number One Bestselling Halloween Costume For Pre-Teen Girls...
Paris dressed up as Alice in Wonderland for a party at Hef's place. Not bad, if you can ignore the festering petri dish of T. pallidum in her steamy undergrowth.
The wife was away when I passed out Hallowe'en candy over the weekend. The 13 year old girl from down the block, who's (ahem) blossoming
as 13 year old girls will do, was dressed as Tinkerbell. And I don't
mean cute Tink with a glittery green semi-Jolly Green Giant tunic.
This was a deep-dish V-neck, high hem barely covering the merkin body
paint thing. And it was raining, so the whole damn thing was
semi-transparent. I nearly passed out from a combination of
gobsmackery and anuimal lust. It was like home delivery for pedophiles.
Good thing she didn't have an Alice costume. I'd be behind bars today.
What the hell is wrong with this country?

Work is almost OVER!
Yeah!!!! Today is essentially a half day of work!
This is because today I have an appointment to have my house inspected. It is almost a year since I moved in and the warranty period on alot of things in the house are almost done. So! I am paying to have my house inspected to verify if there are any "issues" that need to be addressed prior to the warranty expiring. I am told this should take about 4 hours. So, I get to leave work early and hang out with the kitties while my house gets poked and prodded! LOL (At least it isn't me getting poked and prodded! LOL).
It's funny, I actually want them to find things wrong with the house so the warranty can kick in and get things fixed!!! And I wont have to pay for it.
Next I will need to get the Air conditioner serviced and such. But at least this is a good start and in the eventuality that I do sell the house...I can show good faith that everything has been taken care of to the best of my ability!
I LOVE THIS QUOTE!
This is taken from a comment at Wizbangblog - they are discussing Tom Lantos a member of the House of Representatives who verbally threw a nice stone in Beligum becuase they are feigning outrage over Guantanemo and he told them to stuff it when he said that Wow, you Europeans didnt have this much outrage over Auschwitz! (Keep in mind that Lantos is a Holocaust survivor as well. It makes his comment that much more biting!)
One of the commetors said this about Old Europe and it pretty much sums up Europe nicely. Here is the quote, "Let us in the US get over it, the Western Europeans, driven by
Socialist ideals have been wrong for over a hundred years. They make
good wine, fancy cars, good meals, and bad governing decisions."
Whew!!!! What a day!
Well actually what a weekend.
I had nice plans...I really did..but they all got shot to hell! LOL
I was supposed to work on my classes, go see Elizabeth the Golden Age, burn some movies (Shawn - Beaufort was one of them). But, all of that was killed when my sister called me on Saturday morning. She has been ill recently and on Friday the doctors gave her an antibiotic booster shot..and she didn't react well with it. So much so that on Saturday morning she called me to take her to Urgent Care. To give you a hint of the distance involved, LOL, I live about an hour from her. Rob (her husband) was at the Phoenix zoo with the kids when this happened. (roughly 45 min to an hour a way).
So, by the time I call her...Rob is already on his way back home..the kids still at the zoo LOL...and my sister wants me to be at the house in case they call..since Rob has to get back over to the zoo to get them (Nikki was working on a school project so she had to be there).
This happened around 10:30 am. I get to my sisters around noon. I end up being there until about 3 pm, she gets home and goes to sleep, Rob ends up picking up the kids..my sister just did not want to be alone while Rob is gone. So I stay. Rob comes back about 3 pm. I get my car washed (YAY one thing done that I needed to do) I get back to my sister's and I take Justin (my nephew) to my place so they will have a quiet house while my sister tries to recuperate.
Justin is here..and I am spending money as I always do when the kids are there...and he is enjoying watching South Park Season II. I work on some home work but don't get half of what I wanted done...its about 9 pm and I am beat..and so I crash! LOL
Sunday I wake up and take Justin for breakfast...he was up most of the night watching the entire season of South Park! LOL I put him to work with some choirs around the house and I do torture him a bit by making him watch A Good Year (which ironically enough - he actually liked the movie!) - It's a very good movie I highly recommend it! I get back to school work - setting up my new classes, finishing grading finals and recording grades....and by the time 3 pm rolls around - I take him back home.
My sister is doing better - she ran some errands and actually felt up to cooking and invited me to dinner. I couldn't stay..more papers to grade LOL. So I head back to Laveen. Get back home an hour later - eat a bit of dinner. (I guess you could call it dinner, I ended up skipping lunch - I tend to do that when I have lots of work to do). Check my football poll (I am about to get into first place YEAH BABY!!!! and about 11:45 I finish my last paper and my last feedback.
This was an uncommon time because technically tonite I worked on 8 classes - 2 ending, 2 new start ups and 4 already deep in process. MAN! This is the second week I had to postpone seeing that movie (Elizabeth the Golden Age). Next week I better see it! LOL.
This is why I haven't been around guys. I should have the quiz uploaded by tomrorow since I get to work half day - SINCE I have having a home inspector show up to inspect the house because it is almost at a 1 year move in..and most of the warranties expire. So yeah warranty I get half day off of work and no gym tomorrow!
A digest if you don't want to watch the video. A dude posing as a woman
picked up one of those smolderingly dangerous drifters you see in
William Faulkner novels. (At least he looks like a young Ray Liotta in
my personal fantasy.)
Said dude then brings Knife-Armed Drifter to horse barn.
Said dude then invites Psychopathic Nomad to go down on him.
Hot-But-Dangerous Hobo reacts rather poorly when he sees his Lady Fair is hung better than he is.
The cops sum up the moral of the story: "Don't pick up hitch-hikers."
As Drew notes, there may be one or two other morals to this story.
And here is the funniest comment!
The man wanted to eat a taco, but got a burrito.

Forbes Magazine recently released its annual survey of the best
cities across the nation for job seekers and the gainfully employed.
The top-10:
Salt Lake City, Utah
Raleigh, North Carolina
Phoenix, Arizona
Jacksonville, Florida
Orlando, Florida
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Austin, Texas
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Wichita, Kansas
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Placing that list into political perspective:
Conservative state w/ GOP control of statewide offices
Conservative state w/ pro-business politicos
Conservative state w/ GOP control of state legislature
Conservative state w/ GOP control of statewide offices
Conservative state w/ GOP control of statewide offices
Conservative state w/ GOP control of state legislature

Pro-business state that's conservative on the issues

Business Politics
Speaking of business and of politics, it goes without saying the
topic of insurance has become a major kitchen table item in Louisiana
since 2005. Therefore it was not at all surprising -- in addition to
Bobby Jindal's easy victory -- to view the results of Louisiana's open
race for insurance commissioner:
When the public gets a severe reality check and there's no full
incumbent people tend to wake up from their comas and vote Republican.
If on the other hand you've got an open political contest and it's okay
to be spoiled brats or lost in the fog then Democrats tend to thrive.
Stock Markets
Wall St. has been manic-depressive over the past couple of weeks.
Speaking of the stock markets and of manic-depression, back in year
2000 Vanguard's S&P 500 Index was trading at or around $140 per
share. Stock market investors at that time were euphoric. They
cheerfully were buying up shares.
In August 2002, however, the 500 Index fund had plunged to around
$75 per share. Investors were gloomy. The economy was bad. Enron and
Worldcom dominated the headlines. Many investors sold their shares in a
panic.
In July 2007, however, the fund traded at $143 per share. Investors
were euphoric. They cheerfully bought shares. There had been a rocket
ride upwards for the S&P 500, virtually with no detours, since
early-2003.
In August 2007, however, the fund dropped to $130 per share.
Investors were gloomy. The media's so-called "mortgage tsunami" had
struck. Many investors sold their shares in a panic.
Today (EST) the fund closed at $139.72 per share.
Morals of the story:
- Price matters.
- Being a stock market Lemming ain't a bed of roses.
Last night!!!
We had a get together for Lital's Birthday!!! It was great.

Singapore as a vacation spot!
Yep it is now going to be a huge vacation spot. Why you ask? Quite simple actually. The government of Singapore just legalized Oral sex and Anal sex! (The main caveat is that this is only for Heterosexuals - Homosexuality still outlawed). But since this is predominately a Muslim Country..sex with donkeys and sheep are probably allowed still. LOL!
Thanks to Ace where there is an active discussion of the merits of anal sex going on right now! LOL
