Wow is it windy outside! I went out to get the newspaper and the wind was a force to reckon with. I wanted to go right but the wind wanted me to go left. I felt like Dorothy for a minute and wanted to call out for help from Auntie Em. I managed to get the paper and catching a glimpse of my face in the mirror I realized I'd been transformed into a white, female version of Don King. Scary.

There's a comedian who says Halloween is a great time for women to dress like sluts. No matter what the costume is, it's the slut version. Ex: nurse slut, witch slut, clown slut, bee slut, etc.

I am contemplating attending a costume Halloween dance tonight, but I have the choice of witch slut or an unslutty scarecrow costume. Do I go with the slut or the unslut?

Of course, if the wind keeps up, not matter what I wear I'll end up looking like Don King so I guess it doesn't matter.

------------------------

Let's see, we've got war in Iraq and Afghanistan and now the hawks are dying for us to jump into Iran too. In the mean time we have resorted to paying recruits $20 grand to get them to sign up and have lowered all criteria for joining the service.

You can be emotionally unstable, mentally impaired, dumb as a box of rocks and sign on the dotted line and be pushed into the front line within no time.

Look, if we must have war, why not have each country who wants war pick out their best wrestler or whistler for all I care -- then have a competition and let all other countries vote as to who wrestled or whistled the best. Why must war be won by how many people died and how many you killed? Could even be a bake off, pies or cakes, anything other than death and destruction. I'm on to something.

You are on to something. War is ridiculous in this era. We could wipe out any country if we wanted too but we play at war while the big money people get rich.

HI MB: Slow blogging these days. I don't know why I don't quit altogether...the call...I still hear the call every now and again. Thankfully, we go way back and you know me when I blogged regularly and with content. I posted a good one today. Feel free to pop in.

Canopenner, I ended up not going...Sunday nights aren't a good party night and the couch beckoned.

Hey LB...indeed it's slow blogging but I haven't blogged much myself nor have I been visiting blogs either...life seems to have become way more complicated lately. I will pop over your place for sure!!

ya know - they say halloween is the one day where you can wear something you would never wear at any other time, that you can get away with it.

BUt at the same time I have to ask - if you don't have the confidence to strut your stuff year round (with or with out class :) ) then you really shouldn't under the guise of halloween. Fix your confidence first, then wear whatever you want with pride. :)

(I like the scarecrow - easier to hide the flask, and harder to get drunk - the straw helps soak up the alcohol [wink]) :)

(and yes, i finally posted! OMG it's a miracle!!! LOL)

Happy Halloween! Enjoy it before we get the real scare of our life when Bushbaby invades Iran and starts WWIV.

Bradley, slutty costumes can only be worn by the mother of someone else's children!

Ilanna, I shall come to visit! Now tonight I have another dilemma as to what to wear...it's for children so I think slutwear isn't appropriate. ;-)

Sangoncito...Happy Halloween to you too. Is Halloween a big holiday where you are?

Mary, no Halloween here, but today Nov. 2 is a national holiday called "The Day of the Dead"....Happy Day of the Dead!

You would be on to something, if the losers would actually accept that they had lost. I can't see the US doing that, for example, or many other nations either.

And happy belated Halloween! It's not a big thing in Denmark, though some companies are trying to market it nowadays. I don't think it will catch on, or at least not right away.

Sangroncito...I love the sound of "Day of the Dead" - is this a strictly Spanish speaking country's celebration?

Hi Kim...interesting to hear that Denmark isn't big on Halloween. I am always happy to know about other countries - customs, holidays etc.
