Happy Halloween Mr. Hackles, Happy Halloween!

How fitting my first post arrives on Halloween -- honestly wasn't planned that way, but had to share my Halloween experience today. I thought it would be a nice respite from election talk.

I live in a small town where I'm happy to say they haven't caved in to political correctness when it comes to celebrating holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Unlike other towns which do not have any Halloween events at school because it offends 2 parents out of 5,0000, we have a Monster Walk every year. I went to see my daughter in it today and the joy on her face (as well as the other kids) really showed what this holiday is all about. Kids get to be someone else for the day, their favorite hero or princess, or even a rubik's cube.

So if you're so inclined on this Halloween, sit back and check out these pics of the Monster Walk and maybe relive some of your old memories -- check out the Hulk stomping around, Iron Man and Batman strutting confidently along, fairy princesses waving to the camera.

And not one Obama or McCain costume in the bunch!

P.S. My favorite costume of all? Check out the kid with the very cool homemade costume of Dr. Who's all time biggest villain....

P.P.S. I wanted upload the actual movies I took but they were too big so all you'll get are these crappy screenshots-- they still tell the story though..

how funny that the kid who is King Kong (?) doesn't even have a mask or face paint so he just looks like a monkey.


Yeah, that kid won't be tortured by his classmates for the next 10 years. Oh...same thing applies to carebear kid.

poor carebear kid. when he grows up, he'll probably be a republican...

Correct Joe!
When people grow up, they do become a republican. Until then, they're a democrat wearing a carebear outfit!
(insert rimshot here)

Hey, we weren't supposed to bring up politics in this thread! Don't let the Dems and Repubs ruin Halloween too!
